I Lost All My Photos

A couple of weeks ago, I scanned in well over a hundred photos that I`ve had in picture albums for many years. Many were my baby pictures and pictures of family even before I was born.

…then…

In the process of installing Windows 7, I had to backup my scanned images folder. To do that, I copied them to my USB memory device. What a mistake.

…. well,

The pics copied fine, but my USB device has an extreme quirk. If I forget to select `remove device` from my software and go straight to yanking my usb memory stick out of the usb port, then I suffer a huge risk of losing all of my data. Arrgggghhhhh !!! and that is exactly what happened.

So, lesson learned. I should have made a CD or DVD backup as I had previously considered.

Result: I now have to sit down and rescan all of those images and I wasn`t even half way through.

Oh, well!
