My disk drive has crashed out on me. I cannot start it up and i havnt backed up anything so that means any wip maps i have been working on are lost. I can continue but it sucks to have lost so much hard work. gm dust wont be finished. I wont be on the servers for maybe a long time until i can get a new pc.
Thank you for your understanding.
it really sucks, but i cant be too bothered by it cus now i can prob get better newer comp tan my older one, one that doesnt shit bricks every time i do something on it.
-
OH SHI- :'( :'( :'( :'(
-
Sucks real bad man :(
Had to go through that not to long ago.
Luckily WD gave me a new one :)
-
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--
Good luck, brother.
Feels bad, man.
-
Damn that sux, happened to me too....twice lawl =\
Good luck getting a good new computer =O
-
Happened to me 3 times now.
2 times where my old 80gig's burned out...pc flashes bsod and restarts
1 time my mom kicked over my desk stand and my computer and xbox came crashing down, pc hard drive broke (xbox was fine thank god), i have a crack in my monitor because of that.
Then here i am today. Someohow after I install a program, it will delete the desktop icon and startmenu bar.

Get an external usb hard drive enclosure, I had a hdd go bad on me, it wouldn't boot when installed into my computer, but when I put it into a usb enclosure I was able to access my files on it. Not guaranteed to work but might give you a chance to get your files, and the enclosures are only like 20 dollars.
Other than that, the server has quite a few of your maps, just re-download them and de-compile them. It sucks to lose the progress you made on them, but hell its better than nothing.

Ive got a hard disk backup usb thingy ill give it a try.

So if your DVD drive fails your pc won't work
How old are you to still use DVD as a hdd :0
-
Yay ive gotten my dads old laptop pc for now and hooked it up to my huge monitor so now i got dual screens :D. This will do for now until i go to Guam for the summer where i can find a good replacement.
My old pc is completely fuxed and cant read the hard drive at all so its pretty much more tech trash for the kids to scavenege in the dumps of africa. (National Geographic ftw)
ps. its also windows 7 :D
-
If you can't manage to save anything by yourself, try bringing it to a computer store, maybe they can do anything. That's what I did.
It will most likely cost you something, but it may be worth it.

The laptop disk drive has also failed leading me to believe thatt there is a virus on either this site or sdk. They are the only two things I have done on it. What I don't understand is why noyone elses hard drives are failing too.
Can someone try out sdk and tell me if they crash too? There is no virus in my home LAN cus noyone else in my family has gotten it. I've also vistited this site on 2 other pcs and they both work fine still. I'm at a loss please give me your synopsis.

Did you copy any files from your possibly infected pc over to the laptop?
I don't think sdk causes HD failures but can't confirm that.
Maybe the drives are both end of life? That or you like to give the hdd's a good shake every now and then :P jk lul
You can also attempt to run recovery tools on the drives to check for bad sectors.
I recommend HDD Regenerator 1.71. Can also try (Ontrack Easy Recovery, Winternals Disk Commander, Active Partition Recovery, Active Uneraser )
--Unless someone is super sneaky, I'm 9000% sure this site does nawt haz viruz kthx.

I'm not a hardware expert so I left my dad to do it. He ran a full system scan and the HD is completely toast there's no going back. It could be just a really timely coincidense that both disks happened to crash in the space of just 2 days but he's not convinced sinde he claims his laptop had been running fine for over 4 years without incident. Is it possible that someone has hacked my steam acc and put in some really bad thing? Cus it crashed right when sdk was backing up and copying it's files... I just need to know what could possibly be doing this cus if it is steam then I won be able to make any more maps or in the worst case never play any steam game again. I was thinking either sdk is the problem r me and as a last resort I shud migrate accounts.
Oh and my first one crashed right in the middle of compiling.
Just so you know I'm using my itouch to post nao, this small screen is really giving me a
headache!
Thx for the tip coolz. I need to remember to backup important stuff in the future.
-
lol
i have all my files backup every Tuesday onto my portable 2 TB hard drive i have a total of 10 back up then when it backs up the last one deletes and then t gets saved on it
-
Took computer in and turns out there is a virus that rewrote the bios setup and hid the disk. So that means if my dads friend can fix the laptop then he can also do my desktop and I can get all my files back.
The virus was from sdk so don't run it unless you have an anti virus program.
-
One hell of a virus. It rewrote your bios? holy shit? Still cant believe it thoe.
-
Yeah that sounds pretty Impossible, a virus that fucks your BIOS makes me want to download nothing from the interwebs anymore.

I lied i decided to fix it again. This time the problem was really odd though. i had to go through user acc running the mms or sumthin command and add something to the console making the black screen go away :/?
at least i can look at pingaz again

Laptop has decided now would be a good time to stop working again. None of my previous fixes do anything. I can't do a system restore cus this piece of shit is running off windows vista bussiness on Dell and half of the options they give you don't work. Might just go ahead and overwrite the disk by installing windows 7 free trial for 30 days more than enough time to find a new pc.

Erm if u have a copy of windows 7 legit or else and Microsoft is bugging you about it there is a program you can run to remove the Microsoft shit from it I can link you if you wont me to.
-
Please dont, im not interested in any software or anything.
i dont think its a virus at all from sdk, since it works fine on this old crappy laptop im using, but that means my other hard drives were wiped and there is nothing on them. Still waiting for a word back from the guy.
