    Don't worry... you'll learn eventually, reach another step, and manage to delete data in MUCH more permanent ways...

    Backups are good

    Meh. Operators may be able to make minor f***ups. But for a REAL total ballsup you need a programmer. Amatuers only delete what's already there. pros delete what's already there, AND what will be there in future. And delete the restore programs as well. And the CD drivers. And the boot eprom microcode.

    But troubleshooting them can be the most amazing experiences...

    Turning off the server coz it was the weekend (obviously we get the call on monday nothing is working), another attempting to turn off the server (thank god for the ups) because they "thought" the plug was for something else... unplugging the ac adapter pack on the router (I have no idea how or why).

    Deleting the critical shortcut they needed... now that one took the cake... I don't ask any more... and expect the most basic of errors

    If you ever get stuck and there is no one on KB who can help (as if!), I find Press F1 (PC World's help site) is excellent. When I was starting out with my first computer I knew absolutely nothing (that part hasn't changed a lot!) and I found the FAQ part of the site great for learning how to do things - even simple things like turning off the noise a dial-up modem makes when connecting. Ask, and within minutes someone will post a response. Saved me from making lots of expensive mistakes.
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Oh yeah. I can still remember my first time mucking around in a BASH shell.

    rm *.*

    Won't do that again in a hurry...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
