I just had a "boot" drive crash a few days ago....
Now the archive drive is the boot drive, loosing the archive in fresh format/install op sys.
I saved research data from removable disc archives, but lost some for lack of diligence in back ups.
All restored now that can be.
This drive crashing was a normal lifetime thing. To be expected after a few years.
No Enemy action or "hacking" involved.
DPF holds lots of great data. Making up for my lack of diligence in incomplete backups.
I can restore most of the lost data from right here....
Thanks and Excuse the OT walk thru the garden path.

P.S. I think I'll build a new PC over the winter. Again every 3 or so years.
