My Data Failure Nightmare, The Beginning

September 23, 2008 By Jacqui Best 1 Comment

hard drive recoverySo here is the deal, recently I  have been having serious data issues. Like a bad dream it would seem I have lost my main data areas in three different machines in the last 4 months. On a side note one of the machines (my main one) lost its hard drive 3 times in that time. At first I thought, well maybe I have some kind of issue with the power in my office. With this line of thinking I check all my power running to that room, and I also buy a new UPS for the main machine. All of the power in the room is fine and the old UPS seems to have no problems running my kid’s machine.

I then thought that maybe I have a power supply problem, that maybe there just isn’t enough juice to run what I want to run in my computer. So I take a look at my main machines power supply, it is an Antec True Power Trio 650 watt output. Yeah I am thinking the power supply is NOT the problem. Plus I have the 2 other machines that have hard drives that have failed. One of the machines is a server which will no longer allow access to the RAID 5 in it. The other machine is my “work” computer; I use it for emailing our clients, and keeping all my data recovery software tools on it. Fortunately, I work for a hard drive recovery company!

About Jacqui Best

I started my technology career way back in 1991, when I worked for a local computer store in Pinellas Square Mall. I was a PC technician as well as the trainer. Afterward I moved on to Consolidated Software Products where I was the phone technical support for Disk Analyst, which was for all practical purposes the first piece of data recovery software ever. I then moved on to The Learning Curve, where I was the office manager for many years, this company was at the forefront of data recovery and training software. I finally decided I wanted to move into some different fields and expand my technology back ground beyond data recovery. I got hired on with American CompuSystems where I was the Road Runner Pinellas County PC Installs manager, while in this department I obtained my MCP in NT 4.0. I later moved on to be an in field network administrator for this company. After ACS I then took a position with Knight Enterprises a sub contractor of Time Warner/ Bright House. I was the Regional PC Installs Manager. After 2 years at Knight I decided it was time to come back to my roots and took a job with DTIData as their Software Technical support person.
