Hi Snoopy,

Tx for the advice. The SSD BETTER not fail!!! I can't stand too much of this.

The friend trying to retrieve my data says the HD is shot - it's making noises whilst reading. I honestly never bumped the Audya. According to him those specific type and model of HDs are known for giving problems. I really hope the SSD is more reliable.

But yes, I'll definitely start making regular backups again. But then as you know, if the HD or SDD fails, it's not as simple as restoring the image on a new HD or SSD because of all this copy protection linked to serial number business.

Anyway, hopefully I'll have a new SSD within the next two weeks. I'm really impressed with what AJ did to the Audya & I want it all back asap! It's not the same anymore although it's still one fantastic piece of machinery.

Keep well all my friends,

Henni
