It wasn’t a virus. It was a physical failure of the computer hard drive.(Jon here – The Diagnoses was one of Physical dammage to the drive. The Read / Write arm failed and began to dig into the disk platters.) Bad, very bad. Without DriveSavers® we would have lost the hard drive and the data on it. The data that had me panicking was the first half (yes, completed first half) of the fifth book of the Merry Gentry series, and more than a hundred pages of the next Anita Blake novel. As I wrote earlier all our back ups had failed. My main computer was so riddled with data miners and spy bots that it may be the reason why neither book saved to my personal hard drive. We’ll never know for sure. Jon, Darla, and Jack (her husband and hardware guru) updated the protection software on both my computers. My fault for refusing the updates because it would impede my progress on whatever book I was on. If you don’t listen to your tech people then you only have yourself to blame. All the computers have the latest and greatest protection upgrades now.
If DriveSavers® had not come to our rescue I would have lost almost four hundred pages. All our back ups failed at once for my books. Other things managed to get on portable back up but for whatever reason the books did not. So thank you DriveSavers®, you saved my books, my deadline, and me from a nervous break down.
