o/t - yr sympathy please

Post by tango »

Everyone

The worst has just happened, through an act of gross miscommunication a hard drive has been wiped and 5 yrs worth of saved holy grails (some costing monthly subs as well) have been lost.

All my Rachel Stevens, Claudia Casalia and Joy Karins (and so many many more)gone forever. If anyone can package these girls up and send them over I might survive.

I guess there would always have been the day to face when the button would have been pushed, but least i would have pushed it.

Trivial I know but bleeding soul destroying.

The searches begin again.

Hard drives are never really wiped short of burning it into ashes and throwing it into oceans. Try to find a recovery software as Carl says. That may help.

Can I just ask why you say the day would come when you'd "push the button yourself anyway" - is that some kind of inevitability? How come?

You could install a new hard drive as master,reinstall windows, set up the old one as slave and you might manage to copy your files off if the old one still spins up.

Interesting... I wish I had burnt my hard drive and threw it into the ocean instead I took it to PC World who then informed the rozzers.

Nice weather here in Cambodia.

C`mon, C,mon. Leader, leader. I`m the leader of the gang I am etc etc etc

It was funny Matt. I should know cos I posted it. Carls a notoriously sarcastic person with a limited sense of humour. He once accused me of being a copper! That was funny. Officer Dibble was not amused of course as he takes the crime of impersonating a police officer (or the old IPO game as its known) very seriously.

you may or may not be aware that when windows deletes files it merely deletes the reference to them, making it very easy to recover them.
If you have formatted the drive it is still usually possible to recover the vast majority of files. Providing the drive still shows up in the bios and you have another drive to recover the files to, I suggest you try a sofware recovery program such as easy recovery pro or lost and found. Send me an email and I'll hook you up.
