Stupid hard drive...

Sparvid · 05-23-2003, 04:33 AM

Well, one of my hard drives crashed yesterday...

First, the good stuff: Since I haven't had my own computer connected to the net for almost a year now, I have downloded stuff on the family's computer, put the files on CDs and copied them to my computer. And that means that basically everything I've downloaded the last year is still on those CDs (yay!). And luckily, it wasn't the hard drive with all my mp3's, because I would've never been able to remember all those.

The bad: Several seasons of cartoons (mainly the Marvel toons from the late 90s) are lost, and I have to find them again... And I don't know how much time it will take to sort everything from the CDs (but that doesn't matter, as long as I can do it

) An another bad thing is of course that I have to spend money (which I don't have yet) on a new hard drive.

Why must data recovery cost so much..?

Dude, I know the feeling... My Hard drive has 2 bad sectors on it and well randomly "skip"... I can't afford a new hard drive, (or a computer anymore) so when this one dies, I'm screwed heh... oh well time to save up for a new one

Do you have a Dreamcast, GK?
Because, then at least you could surf the net when your computer dies.
