fucking wonderful...
 

well apparently my mom went on my pc today to go on the internet for like 15minutes (well this is what she says)

now when i started it up.. my 2nd hard drive (the one i keep everything on) says the master file table is corrupt..

so basically it seems like im gonna lose EVERYTHING.. ive had to reformat plenty of times in the past.. but thats usually the C: drive, hence why i keep important stuff on D:

so this really fucking sucks.. have no idea what ill do if i end up having to reformat it all and lose everything


i probably wont be around for a couple days at least :(

CANT YOU DO A SYSTEM REPAIR WITH A WINDOWS DISC

SHIT JUST THOUGHT AS I PRESSED ENTER CANT U UNPLUG C:\ MAKE D:\ YOUR PRIMARY THEN DO A LOWE INSTAL OF WINDOWS THAT DOESNT FORMAT THE ACTUAL DRIVE?

cant do any system restore.. as system restore saves the restore files on the drive itself... repair or anything such as chkdsk.. wont run.. everytime its saying 'corrupt master file table' 'aborting....'

and i dont want to do anything that is going to reformat or even try and write anything to the drive yet..


pretty much seems my only option is to hope i can get a data recovery program to save at least some of the drive..

sucks to be you.

well i ran spinrite overnight and it didnt find any errors.. kinda odd.. but whatever...

so before work today i started a scan in EasyRecovery Pro to try and save at least some of my shit.. been running for about 8 1/2 hrs.. got 10hrs left and thats just the scan, im gonna assume it will take a while for it to copy files and shit to my other hard drive (about 100-120gb of data i lost..)

:-(

lol this could very well suck for all of us

/hug optic

ok the recovery scan is done...

now just 15+ hrs to copy all the files over to my other hard drive :(



and sadly, its a huge mess.. some folders/files seem to be intact and all.. but there is also other folders named like: DIR#### and the #### starts at 0 and goes up past 3500.. and each folder has random files in them.. so theres probably no chance of me finding exactly where all that shit is supposed to go... and its gonna take me like a month to go thru that many folders anyway... ive browsed thru some of the folders.. and there is definitly some important stuff scattered in them.. a lot of stuff for the web/game servers.. so thats no good lol

so ya.. this sucks.. but i guess at least its looking better then losing it all..

8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

well looking at the files that have already been copied over.. it seems that at least most of the server/avamods related stuff is all ok :D

just 2 1/2 more hours :D heh 100gb copied 20gb more to go..

then ill have to reformat the drive and run the Western Digital diagnostic tool and scan it to make sure the drive itself isnt fucked up.. and that takes like 20hrs. lol..

so.. almost there.. lol
