Damn it

So my 2 years work making my game is down the drain... Hard drive failure. :/ servers gone data base is gone games gone screen shots gone I only had one back up but its only path finding code...

Whatttttttttttttttttttttttt? :O

Hi,

Its a drag I know, I've had a few failures (Hard Drives that is) in my time, music, files, work stuff, films everything.
I don't know to what extent your failure is but have you tried using it as a slave drive?? this has worked for me before just to be able to get the data off.

You can end up making back ups of back ups of backups, bits of stuff i really need have been copied to discs and also flash sticks.

I'm sure you know all about that sort of thing though.

Alloy Bacon,

Search for SpinRite on th e web, put your damaged harddisk as a slave, run it. I will fix it enough to recover your data to a new harddisk. Also try Recuva. Hope that helps.


I have lost my data a lot of times. Games, music, videos, animations, important info, bookmarks, songs lyrics i composed/written, I know that feel.

I cant its a laptop harddrive & if you can I dont have the equipment to do it for laptop harddrives there drives are smaller.


edit: good news is it turned on and I put my stuff in a usb bad news is it doesn't boot again but I still got my game

Hi,
Odlly enough I have a laptop hard dive inside my desktop case, the hard drive has no idea what size case it is in.

oh really? good to know thanks. :)

Hi,

Ah Angel, the good old gibson research company days, used to use them to test firewalls, still do actually.
Alloy, not sure why you went all sarcastic about the hard drive size, its true, and sata/ide connections are the same size.

Glad you got some stuff back, looking forward to debugging/testing your game with you. :yarr:

I didn't go sarcastic? lol I actually meant thanks, I've never taken out a laptop hard drive so I wouldn't know, btw its basses6 if you didn't notice.

I think fruitbeard and I know you are basses hehe, but for me, as you changed your nickname, i did't know the reason so I called you Alloy just in case hehe.

lol because in my game alloy hatchet is the strongest tool to use for woodcutting, and bacon because I love bacon :P
