About the Book

It doesn't take much to disrupt any unstable equilibrium, and the result is always disaster. Even the most seemingly innocuous change to your computing environment can precipitate a computer disaster that results in the loss of irreplaceable data, and in many cases, the loss of use of your computer.

These disasters come in many guises. They can be caused by computer viruses, hackers, or mechanical failure. They can be self inflicted or inflicted by cruel fate. There are disasters of mysterious, unknown origin: One day, your computer is working just fine, and the next day when you turn it on you find that you are the proud owner of the world's largest and most expensive paperweight.

When disaster strikes, Murphy's law dictates that it will happen at the worst possible time - when you are trying to meet a critical deadline.

Many computer disasters are preventable, through the use of certain tools and procedures. Some disasters are unpredictable and unavoidable, such as a hard disk crash or when the installation of a new software application trashes your computer.

PC Fear Factor: Real Solutions for Real People

PC Fear Factor is the end user's guide to disaster prevention and recovery. When I set out to write PC Fear Factor, I realized that most people are not computer experts, and that they don't want to have to become computer experts in order to prevent computer disasters.

PC Fear Factor is written in clear, non-technical language that anyone can understand. You will received detailed instruction on how to prevent most computer disasters, and how to recover quickly, easily, and completely from unavoidable disasters. You will learn how to use disaster prevention and recovery tools, and you will learn how to implement procedures that minimize the risks of a computer disaster. In short, you will never wear the expression on your face that you see here.

I can't make your computer a stable equilibrium. Nobody can - our computing environment becomes more complex with each passing year, as we add more software applications to our computers and install or attach more hardware devices.

But I can promise you this: if you follow all of the advice and instructions in PC Fear Factor, the fact that your computer is an unstable equilibrium just won't matter anymore, because you will always be able to return your computer to its previous state of equilibrium, and you will never have to worry about losing any valuable data in the process.
