The disaster I had heard about and feared finally happened; I got the "blue screen of death" on my laptop, I could not boot Windows and the techies told me the disc had failed.
There was a whole load of data which was on my laptop hard drive (Bad practise I know, but tell me you're any different!) and I hadn't checked for several weeks when the last back up had been taken; neither had I ever done a test restore.
I admit I was getting panicky!
