Gwen Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Time for one of my random posts ^-^A couple months ago my hard drive decided to kill itself. When I booted I got the lovely blue windows chkdsk screen. This happened to me a year or two ago, and when I let windows do its thing it decided to delete ALL of my files. I had lost all of my *ahem* backup games, music, and most important pictures. Well this time I did not let windows try to repair the drive, and was planning on either paying to get my data back or try hooking it up to linux and hope i could salvage some of my data. I never got around to doing that and now after a few months i said screw it and let windows canabalize my drive.Lo and behold a miricale!!!!! Windows actually did something right for once. after it said it deleted a few orphan files… all of them in my mp3 folder from what i could see, and repaired the file structure. I was able to get all data that I wanted off! Here I thought i was going to loose all my pictures and music again, but I didnt! I was even able to move my mp3 folder off the bad drive without any errors... im going to have to go through the songs to see if any are bad... but otherwise I think im ok.... IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!Ok thats the end of random post... thats for listening! :-* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
