Had a scary moment last night.... - Thought all of my pictures were gone...


MomToJade&Jordan wrote: I was practically bawling.gif I wanted to resize my siggy pic, but when I went into My Pictures everything was GONE. Every pic I have ever taken of Jade vanished. So I freaked out. I tried a system restore to see if that would work, it didn't. Finally I calmed down enough to do a System Search. I typed in Jade and it all started to pop up. I have no idea what caused it all to disappear like that, but I was thankful that I was able to retreive it all. I really need to start putting this stuff on disk to prevent that happening again. I have pics from the day Jade was born to now on there and the fact that they could have been gone forever was just unbareable.

ctymom replied: *whew* I know that is scary! I would get right on having those burned to cd! I take time out once a month to get everything onto my family CD of photos in case my harddrive were to crash again. I hate losing everything!

Glad you didnt

A&A'smommy replied: that is VERY scary I would have cried too, I'm glad you found them!!!! (((HUGS)))

DansMom replied: Burn those CD's tomorrow!! I burn new pics on a CD pretty soon after I take them, and then I load the pics into my computer at work, and then I get prints. So I've got copies on more than one computer, and I have them on a disk. Your heart must have done flips and your blood pressure dropped!!!

MommyToAshley replied: Phew! I am so glad you didn't lose all those precious pictures of Jade!

I accidentally dragged a folder into another folder once and I thought the same thing, I was so scared that I had lost all of Ashley's photos. We have most of her pictures on a DVD disk, but we haven't burned any of her photos from the last couple of months. Thanks for the reminder.

MomToJade&Jordan replied:
I have to go to the post office so I guess I will run into the store and get some CD's as well. I keep telling myself that I need to get these pics saved somewhere just in case. Well that was my wake up call. My heart was all over the place for a good while after I found them all again.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm so glad you were able to retrieve them. I don't know what I would do if all my pictures got lost. When I have the kids pictures developed I always get them on a CD. Another reason I don't want to go digital. wink.gif I know I would NEVER get the pictures developed. tongue.gif

Get them burned onto discs while you are thinking about it. thumb.gif

kit_kats_mom replied: Yep, that's a horrible feeling. I'm so happy that we have all of our pics backed up to cd. When dh did our last backup, we lost everything, however I ended up only losing about a weeks worth of pics...still not good but not as bad as it could have been

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Thanks Guys! I backed up all of the photo files last night on CD. I felt so much better after that. I even backed up all of the baby photos DH has on his side of the computer. A Lot of those pics has some of Jade's first smiles. I guess this is why my Mom likes hard copies. LOL!!!!

Kaitlin'smom replied: wheeww glad your found them, mine are backed up to our snap server once a week then about 1 a month DH will burn them to disc....wonder if he has done the recently?

MomToMany replied: I know I would've been bawling! We don't even use our 35 mm camera anymore. So, all of our pics are on the computer. I'm burning them to a CD right now!

favre4fan replied: Oh no that would have been horrible!! Definately put them on cd!!!

kimberley replied: i am so glad you found them and got them backed up. not like dumb me. i only had about 10 pics from my wedding since we eloped and i only have 2 left... the rest couldn't be saved bawling.gif bawling.gif and i lost a few of the boys when they were small that a friend took for me since i didn't have a digital sad.gif

bucky replied: a good reminder to make backups tonight before the long weekend!
