Come in and cry with me. :(
 

The primary hard drive on my main rig gave up the ghost (died).
This is a sad day.

any important data lost? :?

Fortunately not much. This rig has 4 hard drives in it equaling a little over a terabyte in space. The primary holds the OS programs/games and the other three are for storage. The storage ones are fine (though I think one of the SATA drives is about to die too), but since they started to fill up I began putting stuff on the primary. So the lastest acquisitions in the last few months is what I lost.

I just don't feel like installing the OS and tweaking it up again. I am also making the move to Seagate drives. Through the years I have tried Maxtor (Maxtor is junk) and Western Digital. Maybe the Seagates will last longer.

sorry to hear about your drive :cry:
these HD deaths is giving me chills .. :| .. im getting a 22 port USB rig and 20 gig usb drives :| ..

Thats shitty!

That sux.....my 320G died not too long ago too. Worst part, its FULL!

Thanks for reminding me I have to buy another 320gb Seagate and setup RAID..

Is it totally dead? you might be able to salvage some data by using symantec ghost to force and image out of it..

I was able to pull some data from it, but some items unfortunately were lost.

Noob here, how do these hard drives "die", in other words, what causes it to crash?

Too much porn I think.

^^ :lol:

DEERRRRRRRRR

NOT ENOUGH PORN

every hard drive has its pornometer, and after x months of use will check the porn %, if the porn % does not keep increasing at every check the drives dies from mistreatment

^Sometimes you scare me, batgirl... :|

That sux! :(

my deepest sympathies, that sux
