CHKDSK???????!!!
Yesterday when I went to the office I was again greeted with the message on my computer from McAfee to reboot. Since I had some paperwork to do I finally told it to do that. I immediately got the CHKDSK message. I knew this was not good, especially when I saw the delete, obsolete, fix, and error words...EGADS! That computer has all my accounting and payroll is Friday. I freaked and called our nephew who is a computer tech. He validated that it was not good and said the hard drive is probably going out. Man this computer is only 2 years old and a great computer. He said to let it finish and then see what happens. It finished quickly while I was on the phone with him and low and behold I was able to get into my files! Thank goodness since I had not backed up the accounting for the week yet. I immediately backed up and started making backup disks of the important stuff on the computer just in case. I'm a bit scared to go in today and actually didn't even close Quickbooks. Guess it is time to upgrade it...

Isn't that just the worst feeling? Computers can really freak you out.
