I probably don't have to tell anyone how much fun this sidewalk was on Friday; came out of it with sopping sneakers and a big smile on my face.

Think I've lost a fair amount of photos unless someone can tell me how to recover from a 'data error, cyclic redundancy check' that I keep getting on one of the CD's I burned. Help !?! Have spent the last 3 hours beating on my computer, moving 30 gig from one drive to another and finally figuring out I had a (hopefully only 1) bad disk. Urgh!

Uploaded half of the travelling Mickeys-they were so much fun. Hope to get the rest up tomorrow-tell me your favorite :)

Looks fun. Less so the disk problem. I've posted on the PaD forum for advice on archiving - might be worth you posting for advice on recovery. You access through a link on the PaD photo page.

Water water everywhere & not a drop to drink !! Good luck with the disk problem, hope someone can help Tom.

Looks like the best puddle ever! Good luck on the data recovery! Wonderful composition!

wonderful shot.

I took the path less traveled??? Not Karen she's gotta go through the water!
Or would it be the other way around? I like the cherry blossoms they are so cloud like when they're in bloom. Sounds like you might be getting some help from others here on your error. Let me know how it works or doesn't work.

It's a high-water time of year. I've never had a disk fail completely although I've had some that would play one one machine but not another. It's always a worry.

Hey, when you want to take a walk, you want to take a walk. What's wet feet? No idea about how to recover the lost photos. I'm sure some computer guru will know.

Beautiful place Karen. And nice shot.
Guest 12-Apr-2005 07:49
Nice line ... that path would be very tempting to little boys in gumboots ... and to photographers! :)

Beautiful shot Karen - your capture of the blossoms is incredible. I can't believe that's a sidewalk - ot looks like beach, it's so wet!
Your CD disaster sounds terrible. I backup to DVD mainly and only make one copy and I would apoplectic if I got the type of error messages you are. I can only suggest trying someone else's system to open them - or try 'Googling" the error message itself. Failing that, i guess there are commercial outfits that do data recovery. I'd be interested to know how you made out. :o)

Oh, that sidewalk is tempting! Good work! As for the techno stuff, I'm clueless. Sorry!

Lovely picture.
Guest 12-Apr-2005 03:40
I would have walked in it too. Any chance to feel silly around anyone I don't know! hehee

Looks like fun. It almosts looks like a lake shore.

Karen, I have a program you might try. If I can find your email address I will try to zip and send.

Nice soggy photo by the way.
Guest 12-Apr-2005 02:52
Just beautiful. Hope your data shows up easily.

Such a beautiful scene.. filled with depth and rich deep color..
I have no idea about the technical side as I'm a tech moron.. :D

First, a really lovely photo. I like the comp and the colors.
Second, search for .tiff or .jpg or whatever your photos were stored at in your search function. If you're lucky you may find your shots in a hidden temp file.
Guest 12-Apr-2005 02:14
beautiful image..excellent shot..I know less than you about all that "stuff"
