Hmm

btw don't EVER use IBM hard discs
I had 5 is a time frame of 12 months (yeah I know)
I didn't overclock them they just stopped working, I heard iron over Iron when they crashed

But I create a backup on the server and on several dvd's, because if I loose to much I'm f*cked.

p.s. My dad never back-ups

I agree with Huuf. I had 4 IBM disks in 11 months . I didn't lose important data, but installing everything again and again still sucks .

Good luck, Patchou!

erm patchou aleinware sells 500 gig'ers and i'm surprised that a drive sold to you by them failed. you can probably get it replcaed with any good wuality drive


(7 years no backups )

GL patchou, I hope Everything goes ok

thats a long game of russian roulette.......

i like to format/reinstall everything every once in a while (it keeps everything fresh ), so i have constant backups...

edit:
cuz l.b asked:

Russian Roulette: thats where u put 1 bullet in a 6 barel gun, spin the barrel, and aim at ur head guess what might happen?

I had my harddisk in this comp 5 years and it's never crashed yet (touch wood)


Good luck Patchou cant you take the disk to some data recovery place as crashed harddrives data can be recovered maybes it's worth paying to get the data back

We're all behind you Patchou if you ever think different close your eyes and you'll here a gentle chant of over 4 million people shouting your name

No Patchou!!!

That really sucks...I want to see the new features really bad...

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 ).

Patchou rotten luck to have your hard drive fail anyways , i found a program that you can take a look at  its used to read and recover failed hard drives its called NTRecover and heres address for it http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml     i hope it helps

na, NTRecover is not good enough. I used R-Studio and it did more than I expected
