You know what it’s like – occasional error messages that mean nothing to you, then the thought of losing all your files.

I remember about 4 years ago when the c-drive started playing up, I decided to replace it. Couldn’t remember exactly how I did it, but decided the time had come to go through the same routine again. A bit more memory would also help, so that was something else to buy. So I took out the old c-drive and using the laptop & Acronis, cloned the drive to a new, larger hard drive, fitted it and it worked – but not for long.

To cut a long story short, several more attempts & I think all is now working fine. Maybe now I can get back to sorting photos & all those other time-wasting jobs!
