No, this won't be the post everyone wants, we won't have pictures up yet. We received our new computer and tried to find our files of our pictures that were saved on our external hardrive, but were unable to find them, and neither was the geek squad able to. Somehow when it saved it did an uncomplete save which means our pictures from 2009 to 2011 are gone. The only way to hopefully retrieve them is to send in the old hardrive from the other computer and have them get it off that way, hopefully. If they are able to do it, it will cost a chunk, but we'd have our pictures and a workable laptop(new hardrive). It's very frustrating, so from now on, we are going to save our pictures in every way possible, because right now it is heartwrenching to know that 2 years of our kids lives in pictures are gone and we don't know if they'll be able to retrieve it. So until then i think i'll just start posting from what's going on and play catch up later.

Have you guys looked into an online backup service? We have just a CPU that the four laptops backup to everyday at midnight and then at 3 am that computer automatically backsup to our online service. That was your files are protected even in case of fire, tornado ect... because they are not technically in your house.
that is something to look into. we have an external hardrive but it just didn't do a complete save, which was frustrating. we have thumb drives and cds, but it would be good to have those files backed up elsewhere too in case of natural disasters. thanks for the tip, i'll talk to chris about it.
