GOOOOoooonNNNNN… That’s the sound (rather noise) my Hard disk is making right now. At first I didn’t notice it but as the noise kept growing. And that sounds like Trouble with Capital T.

Now I am bit worried.

I am worried because I know it is happening one of the 2 reasons.

1. My Hard disk is dieing.
2. Data cable is not processing data properly.

If you have a business like mine, you’d be shit scared right now. WHY? because most of my stuff related to business is in computers. I don’t have to worry about Data back up as I do it often. But more of the passwords, settings my computer has, important email accounts and emails.

Today is Deewali, and I can’t buy a new hard disk because of the festival holiday. ARGHHH…

First is my to Do list for saving back up is

File & User settings. It’ll keep take care of basic User settings.

Next I am going to back up my Outlook Express (incidently I don’t know how, DAMN).

Third I am going to take complete back up of my Master Boot Record and C Drive. So that I can re-install all the softwares and settings in new hard disk. I am worried because this is going to be my first time trying to do this. I’ll Keep my finger crossed and pray it works in 1^st attempt.

As I am taking back up, I am bit stressed.

Before all of this happened, I was working on my Live Online Marketing Seminar Next Week and My 3 Week Workshop on “Effortless writing”. It’s scary because now my focus is divided into many things including seminar and workshop, taking care of seminar attendees etc. Of course, I am worried. But even then I am planning to prepare for it mentally and physically and make my seminar and workshop a SUPER SUCCESS.

I know the distraction caused by this hard disk problem will cost me at least a day. If you are wondering how I am going to cope with it? Well I don’t know. When I focus, I focus completely to my goals. That’s always how I did it and It’s how I am going to do it.

I know, I should have listened to my Hardware friend about backups. But hey, there are always things we learn the hard way.
