Not too long ago I did my first wire feed welding, I succeeded in welding two pieces of metal together.
However I popped sparks everywhere and welted divots of my New Auto Darkening Welding Helmet and lens.
On A different note:
A few days ago I had a windows 10 auto Update do a reboot scan disk which corrupted the 4TB hard drive directory.
Luckily I had a backup of the data ("or so I thought") though I have most of the Data, so spent many hours re-storing the Data.
I decided at this time would Upgrade to a 6TB drive. So I copied about 10TB of data from One drive to another to spare up a 2TB drive.
I replaced the 2 TB drive with a 3TB drive to Fill my 12 TB 4 Drive backup, and leave the 2TB drive for a windows backup drive.
Now that all was running smoothly and all good data was working correctly started my system with the Backup drive.
Now windows 10 did it to me again, after a dozen boots ran another scan disk of the backup data disk an corrupted the directory again.
That was alright I have nothing but time now, so started to restore the data from the new drive back to the old drive which too many more hours.
Now that all this data has been transferred what seems like to the moon and back.
I find the windows 10 has a corrupted registry and half of my programs will not run so with the last little life in the drive I save what is still working.
I start to rebuild windows 10 only to find that several of my programs will not auto register because the company has gone defunct.
As these programs are so very necessary to what I do I could not live without them.
An after many tries and failures decided to try a old Ghost Backup of window 7 Pro 3-Mar 2016, I have most of the programs reloaded now.
It appears to be running correctly now, this means that I need to make a ghost image of the working drive. for my computers archive.
Then I can update this Windows 7 Pro 64bit to windows 10 Pro 64bit.
I find that I lost quite a lot of data because I did not preform proper backups of the ghost images sooner but it could have been a lot worst.
Thinking I have about 30TB of data from family archives, so loosing half a terabyte of data was not a real bad day, still was not a good one either.
Most of the data lost is someplace an will be retrieved sooner of later probably later haha.
P.s I still have the corrupted drives and may still be able to retrieve more of the data when I find lots more time.
P.S.S Feel like a prisoner with this SAR_Cov_2 (" Covid-19 ") lock-down.
LIBERTY ONCE LOST IS LOST FOREVER.
SECURITY WITHOUT LIBERTY IS CALLED PRISON
