April 1977 QST article
Unfortunately, when I reinstalled Windows XP Pro, the crummy operating
system didn't recognize my backup drive unless I formatted it. To make
matters worse, the stupid, stupid, stupid Western Digital "Data Lifeguard"
software would not mount my backup drive onto the system unless I
reformatted that also. There was no option to configure my backup drive
into the system unless I actually formatted it and lost all of my backup
data. It looks like Western Digital is following Microsuck's footsteps. I
should have transferred all of my important data either to a DVD or to my
Linux system.
Never again a Western Digital drive!
The fact remains though, that I still need a copy of that article from at
least one of the 10 people that I was nice enough to forward it to. That
would help me much more than the various "lectures" about what I should
have done!

GM Pete. I recommend "Ghost" to make mirror bootable images of hard drives.
Howsomever, I just got back from a week in FL with the kids. I have all the
ARRL stuff back to 1914, tell me what you're looking for and will send it
privately.
