I've made a lot of mistakes in my life from the most insignificant to huge bumblings! I was never good at organization so finding things has always been a process of hit and miss. MIL was so organized she had a place for everything and everything clearly labeled. The caregiver quipped that MIL could have given lessons to the professional organizers on the HGTV or FLN networks.
How I wish I had her knack and discipline for organization at this very moment. You see, MIL never ever enjoyed having her picture taken, a photo request was tantamount to a full blown argument, she just didn't see the purpose for it.
So now we're preparing for her service which will be closed casket and the only photos found are circa 1970. Now I know I have a couple of photos from the mid-nineties but I have to find them among countless back up CDs, CF cards and three hard drives. I'm going nuts.
I have a deadline as I need to get the photos to Costco for printing and resizing and then get them framed and to the funeral home for the service. I recently bought my first 1.5 TB external drive and am considering the best way to set it up. Should I create partitions? If so, what size and how many? Will partitions compromise drive performance as each section is searched?
Help!
