My harddrive just died!
Couldnt be at a worse time, my 120maxtor sata just went bye bye....fucking thing was clicking and stuff since yesterday, now its tottaly gone!
So much info, so much shit lost I think Im going to cry....... Considering the fact that I had a 80mm 3000rpm fan blowing right on the maxtor since I bought Im pissed off,,,fuck maxtor! I never even stress the drive and it goes on me.... Just picked up a 250gb WD, UATA......... Man Im pissed off..... |
Two of my IBM:s have done pretty much the same thing. I know what it's like losing everything you got on your HD so I feel for you buddy!
|
that sucks man.. I had a maxotr do that to me too.. all my emails etc gone - lucky I had a backup form a couple of weeks previously so I didnt loose too much but still I can only imagine how much it sucks to loose so much data :|
|
RIP HD =( the best is backup all the important thinks in cds, i make that with my top gear and fifth gear videos, and all my ps works =(
|
thats really bad man. losing all the car stuff you've saved over the years. :(
Backing your entire HD contents is too much of a hassle. I think the easiest is to have 2 hard drives running on your PC, then you can have it automatically synchornize contents. |
Well if I was backing up all the time there would be no need for big harddrives, we could all survive with an 80gb if that was the case.
I do backup regulary, but its just a hassle, I have shoe box full of dvdr/cdrs with car stuff but still...... Were I did mess up is in the documents that I didnt save. |

Wise call with the Western Digital drive, i've had mine for over 4 years. Very reliable :good: btw are you sure its impossible to recover anything. When you said drive failed did you mean it's physically broken. Even if a lot of sectors were damaged it might be possible to recover some stuff with special software. |
loosing a HD is always bad news .....
there are some companies tht take yer drive .... open it ope shift the disks into another drive and backup all the data ...... if you realy had somehting u want back then u can try this ..... i also saw some simmilar adverts onle but i dont remember the sites |

Sorry about your harddrive loss too! I feel the need that I should replace my dual HD as well. |

Thamars idea seems pretty cool (no pun intended). I read about that when my HD failed - i didn't try it because the drive was fine, it just decided to reformat itself to piss me off... that was about 120gigs on a 200gig drive, and i recovered about 40gigs using some software or other given to me by some kind souls here on JW 8) |
Shit SFDMALEX that sux :( I hope( :| ) that nothing like this happen to me :pray: Btw is ASUS mb good?
|
^^One of the best.
My HDD gave up on me after 3 days of usage. It turned out the electronics were screwed. |

Ill have a poke at it later but still a damn shame, all the pics and docs gone......Its a good thing I use web based emails cause I dont see my self loosing all my transaction data etc... Thamar- Ill give that a go. If that doesnt work, Ill open it up and see whats going on. |
that suxxx man :(. I feel your pain though (maybe to an even greater extent), my computer just crashed 3 or 4 days ago and everything got deleted i had a virus and a half. But if you think loosing one hard drive is bad, try loosing 3...im on my 4th right now. In the past 3 or 4 years i have blown 3 maxtor hard drives. Im on my 4th this one is preaty sturdy i have had it for over a year if not longer. Btw the one i have right now is also a maxtor. The good thing though everytime it blew my dad returned it to cosco, and they accepted it everytime. God bless those guys :).
