Disk drive failed need new pc
« on: June 05, 2010, 07:08:02 AM »
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.

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.

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 )
