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.

Sucks real bad man
Had to go through that not to long ago.
Luckily WD gave me a new one

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 done that lol

So if your DVD drive fails your pc won't work


How old are you to still use DVD as a hdd :0

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 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.
