Forgotten passwords, yeah I can feel your pain. Happened a long time ago on an old machine??? No check out
this thread to get the story.
Other goofs of mine?? How long do you have??
Recently I was updating a machine at work to Windows 2000. We use Drive Image to load a standard image. After I finished upgrading it, I realised there was a reason why it hadn't been done before, there was software on it that wouldn't run on 2000.
Did I backup the machine before imaging it?? Would I be telling this story in this thread if I had?? Hell no!
So I have to re-image it with Win 98, but there was financial info on the PC's hard drive that needed to be restored.
Luckily for me someone in my department had most of the info that need to be restored, but about two months worth had to be re-input by hand.
That was a couple of months ago and I'm still hearing about it. Needless to say, I backup
EVERYTHING before re-imaging now.
That's just the latest one. Oh well, live and learn.
