I would be so upset if I lost all my pictures. As soon as I get them off my camera, I put them on photobucket. Then as time allows, I put them on CD's.

Only thing is...even backing them to CD's isnt' fool proof. I have one CD I have to keep working with to see the pictures. I did make a copy of it, but you make CD's as a back up and then you have to back up the CD's too....lol

I would ask for the hard drive back. You could always take it to a local computer shop. My computer crashed once but my husband was able to take the hard drive and hook it up to his computer using what he called and external hard drive. After that we decided to back up everything. We had been putting it off for so long. I am so sorry you lost your pictures. I would be upset too.(hugs)

I feel your pain! Our computer crashed last year. I lost pictures, recipes, and all of my son's Eagle Project work. AAAARRRRGGGHHH! I had a few pics on photobucket, but lost many that are irreplaceable. I learned my lesson about backing things up, that's for sure!

I've had computers crash on me several times and my husband has a friend that's always been able to save what ever we've wanted off of it. I would be really upset because I bet you could have saved your pictures if you'd have found the right computer guy. It doesn't sound like they even try. You might want to see if you can get it back to look for another tech!

I send all of my pictures on to York Photo so I don't have to worry about losing what I have on my computer. I can order my pictures from them and have been very happy with the price and the service.

I'm with Janet, and put everything on Photobucket.

How sad to lose it all!

Diana, that York Photo looks pretty good. I can use the Kodak website, but had already had the photobucket and so far haven't had a reason to change. I did put it in my favorites though, just in case.

The computer was only 10 months old. We had our old computer crash last August. Luckily someone recovered most of the pics.

They didn't even ask me what I wanted to do with my hard drive. I'm so very upset. I'm going to get my boyfriend to call them. The hard drive that they just sent away is mine. I think you are right that they didn't try. They acted kinda surprised when I asked for my files.

I always said that if my house caught on fire the only thing I would want to grab on the way out is pictures. They mean everything to me. I'm so devastated. I'm angry too...Gosh I've had a horrible weekend, and today was just crappy...
