Thank you for your so fast support. It's just sooooo long before I'm able to see a result. I had 183,000 files on my disk and I can't be sure of the vailidity of any of them, even if they have been restored. As I already experienced something like that 5 years ago, I'm doing backups for the important data (source code, emails, documents, ...) but there are stuff like pictures, personal video files, work-in-progress, downloaded tools etc that are not on backup. But as I said, I know paid a heavy price for a new big HD (I didn't even knew they were making 250GB hard drives before I got to tyhe store and asked "quick! what's the biggest disk you've got?"). As it seems I won't be able to completely restore my system, I'll have to reinstall everything, that's tiem consuming, it's boring, and I already did it a month ago when I got my new computer. Even worse: before I can do that, I'll have to get a replacement disk from AlienWare. RE: Data loss by surfichris on 02-17-2004 at 06:11 AM

That's what always encourages me when I lose stuff. In all my crappy computers though, I have never, ever had a hard disk failure... I don't know if it's just luck, or I don't do enough to wear it out - anyway, hard luck [offtopic] Chris you have 666 posts ![]() RE: Data loss by Huuf on 02-17-2004 at 10:57 AM
Hmm RE: Data loss by GroteSmurf on 02-17-2004 at 12:04 PM
I agree with Huuf. I had 4 IBM disks in 11 months RE: Data loss by lizard.boy on 02-18-2004 at 02:27 AM

I had my harddisk in this comp 5 years and it's never crashed yet (touch wood) RE: Data loss by Beno on 02-20-2004 at 02:07 PM
RE: Data loss by Patchou on 02-21-2004 at 06:16 AM
it's ok, my system is back on a temporary disk while the new one gets exchanged (that's in this kind of moment that you're happy to earn some money with a sponsor, because big hard disks are not particularly cheap RE: Data loss by theonedragon on 02-21-2004 at 01:05 PM
Patchou rotten luck to have your hard drive fail RE: Data loss by Patchou on 02-22-2004 at 12:52 AM
na, NTRecover is not good enough. I used R-Studio and it did more than I expected RE: Data loss by bach_m on 02-22-2004 at 12:56 AM
so u got alot of it back?!!?! RE: Data loss by Patchou on 02-22-2004 at 01:00 AM Well, it took a lot of time, a lot of tries and a brand new 250Gb hard disk but yes, I got everything I wanted back. However, Windows really suffered and I'll have to reinstall it from scratch soon (which sucks because I already installed everything just one month ago). RE: Data loss by .blade// on 02-22-2004 at 02:39 AM
Well it's good you didn't lose too much...I've had hard disk crashes like twice b4, but my HD was fine after a re-installation of windows...I was one of the first to get blaster...b4 the virus definition was out...I really have no clue how I got it RE: Data loss by Pr0xY on 02-23-2004 at 03:01 PM just wanna say patchou thanks for taking the time to do all of this for us. I"m sorry to hear about your hard drive, but its good that you got most of it back.. keep up the great work RE: Data loss by tomfletcherman on 02-24-2004 at 06:59 PM
Pc's can be evil things. My old one used to get something every year I think, and it would end up being sent away to my dad's m8 who would patch it up nd it would come back. Its happened too many times though, and there's been hard disk failiures etc. RE: Data loss by Wabz on 02-24-2004 at 09:36 PM
