Here's the problem, I got my upstairs mo-chine back from my computer guy today and I need a new hard drive, I'm not concerned about anything on that hard drive except my folding.

Would someone please tell me what I can do and please spell it out for a dorky, short minded great grandma who has senior moments that are getting closer together that I thought.

Will I loose all my credits on that mo-chine? I know I will have to download the FAH client again on the new hard drive, I guess what I need is guidence. I know there are some here who can help a dummy.

It sucks as this mo-chine is only about 2-3 years old, the downstairs mo-chine is about 15 or so years old and that hard drive is great. Who'd a thunk it.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Just download and re-install F@H (for instructions go to www.katrinashome.com)... you'll lose whatever shrub you were working on but you won't lose anything that was already submitted for credit.

True. tried it myself last week.

The local installation will start counting at zero again, but any credit submitted is stored centrally with F@H. Once installed, you download a fresh WU and start crunching again.

Good luck Smile

Thanks, this is exactly what I thought, I just needed you smarter than me to tell me so. Laughing

only credit you'll lose would be if you were almost completed with a shrubbery or what every shrubbery you were working on. But since you weren't done with it you wouldn't have gotten credit yet anyways..
