Cool Runnings!, I thought. Jamaica has a bobsled team! I loved that movie in primary school. Buy buy buy! And I did.

Great, I thought. Now all I need is a way to stablise the OS long enough to achieve this, and we're home and fucking dry!! How about a virus? It's possible! My AV did detect a virus on the PC around the same time as this problem started, can't recall what it was exactly, w32 of some kind. Coincidence? And just to add further confusion, we had a huge electrical storm a couple of days before the problem started. Yeah, I know you should switch off and unplug, but hey, what the fuck else was I going to do? It was raining!!!! I'll keep chipping away at the list of possible causes and let you all know what it turns out to be but from what I've read so far, whatever it turns out to be on my PC, has absolutely no relevance to what's causing it on yours!

Just realising this is the first hurdle - well done, you are already ahead of the majority of computer users. (Who will one day discover that while ignorance is bliss, it also comes with a shelf-life.) Now, actually doing it. Ideally you want to back up to two kinds of media, one of which will be in a geographically different location than your computer. A webserver would be good, but that would take just a little while, and who wants all their personal stuff over on someone else’s internet-accessible server? Burning to a CD or DVD, or saving to an external hard drive, is more realistic. Or, you can be like me and just copy from one of your internal hard drives to the other. This is really easy, and covers the most likely problem (isolated hard drive failure). Note though that it isn’t very reliable, and backing up to external media from time to time would be the smart thing to do. [...] [...] Now, we all know how important it is to back up, right?

Just remember, a fully backed up computer is a happy computer. Or at least, it is a sad computer that can easily be replaced by a happy computer. Aye, well good luck with that.

I get this once every few weeks on my PC that I've had since the start of the year. It generally seems to happen when I alt-tab out of Doom 3 while burning a DVD, rendering a movie, and having Firefox open with 35 tabs (along with various other applications that I've been to lazy to close). I've decided not to mess with it, because I know that It'll take me weeks to find the problem, so instead I don't multi-task so much. It is a farily scary error anyway, but thankfully it hasn't done anything bad to my hard drive yet. Hey! I get this once every few weeks on my PC that I’ve had since the start of the year.

Not complaining! Surprises are wicked, and I like Silver. Bring that Lost in Translation to the flat sometime. I've only watched it 14 times - it hasn't quite completely sunk in yet.
