Rrrggggggg

i went and courrupted half my hard drive a couple days ago...i was trying to finish up reinstalling windows by deleting the partition that the old XP was installed on and resizing the partition that the new XP was installed on to the full size of my HD...but in the process, something went wrong, and now the new XP partition (the one with all my data on it) is courrupted. i tried everything i could but to no avail. so now my computer is sitting in the capable hands of the people at asgards computers http://www.asgardcomputers.com/. they have some data recover software that i dont, so they are really my last hope.

hopefully things will work out (if they can't recover any data, the only thing i will have lost is my videos, because i have all my music and pictures backed up on my zune. but still, that's almost 100gb's of videos that ill have to rip all over again.)

 

Ya Halo, same here. My XP partition is only 20GB and I load all apps to a different drive too. I don't game and I don't use other MS products which generally give no options of which drive to install to. It's also great when one needs/wants to reformat/reinstall.

 

yeah the first thing im gonna do when i get my computer back is to buy a 500 or 750GB backup hard drive.

 

That sucks.
@speculant:
Did you see sbemail 199?

 

UPDATE: apparently they messed up, they wiped the hard drive and reinstalled windows after recovering the WRONG DATA from the partition that WASN'T corrupted :mad...luckily i had all my pics and tunes on my zune so i have those back now but im not looking forward to ripping my library of dvds again :cry

im definitely not gonna deal with asgards ever again

 

Sorry Speculant. That is why I do my own computer work. If I screw up, I can yell at myself! That bites though.

E

 

Wow, that SUCKS. I am so sorry.

 

Well I am here to tell the they take a crap to lost over 400gb of stuff on one myself never to get back:cry Not a happy camper so you take your chances either way:confused

 

i paid them for reinstalling windows, since i did ask them to do that, but i did receive quite a large discount.

 

Of 99% one hopes.
