 Well there you have it. Was booting up my main PC yesterday (the good/faster one with everything on it) and suddenly it stopped working. I've since pulled out the hard drive and checked it out on my old PC and all my partitions have disappeared. Looks like the partition table is fried, so everything I had on it except the operating system on the primary partition is inaccessible. Even that is corrupted as I can only read some of the files on it from my other old computer. SO, how about THAT for a happy new year <sigh>. I've backed up some stuff before, but it's impossible to have backed up the entire 80gigs. Unless I can find a place that can recover the data, I won't be around much except on this backup computer. I do believe I'm cursed.  P.S. Orodreth, looks like my WoS stuff is history. Was on one of the lost partitions, and hadn't backed up any game stuff.  l8r, |

Well  , Got my hard drive back, but sadly none of the data recovered was worth anything. 10GIG of data recovered and I took home 47 MB of music I had on it <sigh>. " <Master Card commercial blares from TV...> -Hard Drive crashes... 80 dollars -Guy spends a week recovering what he can - 40 dollars -Looks on my face when I realize I spent money YET again and have nothing to show for it...  For life there's nothing but heartache (just ask Bonnie Tyler)... for everything else, there's mastercard (which just melted in my hand)  " . . . So, I'm off to reinstall everything now... hope to see me in 2010... |

Well, I'm baaaaaackkk.. on the new PC that is. Just need to install a few more games. Left out some stuff I used to have that I didn't use much (like my entire Linux OS.. have it on another PC so..). Not work the effort in case of another crash.
er.. yeah... so there.
Here I is again. ;D
