Thank you! It's a big relief to know that even if the drive fails, I still have copies in various places now. The plan is to eventually build a better computer and just use my smaller hard drives for keeping copies of my important documents. There are many great adapters that turn adapt SATA drives to USB, so that's an option. As for the large drive that failed, I'm getting a replacement eventually. I'm still pissed about all that was lost on it. It's a lesson that I wish I didn't have to learn.
Copy your files guys.
I'd like to get back to making covers, but it just isn't possible at this point. My main rig is on it's last leg, and the laptop I'm using is so old it can barely process enough data to do simple tasks. It plays music and browses the web, so I'm not completely without. I just cannot make anything on it.
