Mini-Me has been Revived I managed to revive Mini-Me this afternoon just after I thought I had lost everything. After running Disk Repair (from both the OS X and OS 9) CDs about 20 times, I tried the Archive and Install again. This time it worked (the disk was recognized) and I get to start re-configuring everything, just like I did one month ago.

Thank goodness - I'd hate to lose all those sweet photos from Abbie's birthday. I'm burning a CD (of all my photos) as I write and backing up everything. I guess this is my monthly almost-hose-the-machine and rebuild sequence. I used to do it on my XP machine, and I do it about every 6 months to Julie's Win2K box. I've gone a couple years now without killing anything completely, but I have re-installed Windows many times - haven't lost any data yet. Must be time to backup everything, now that I've written this, a disk failure is inevitable. Posted in Mac OS X at Nov 13 2002, 11:47:12 AM MST 2 Comments

Maybe you should move to Linux. On my 5 home machine , I only had problems with one machine and that was due to a deffective hard disk. I was still able to recover everything. My machines have 6+ month of uptime and no problems. You should really try Redhat 8.0, the interface is improved and nothing beats a TRUE unix machine.

Actually, I do have a box with Red Hat 8.0 installed, and you're right - I've never had a problem with it. Then again, I hardly every use it... I've been trying to wean myself from XP to either OS X or RH8, but I've had little success in the past year.
