Meh, it's far from impossible to restore files which have been deleted as long as someone hasn't written a lot of stuff on the disk again. There are plenty of programs available that attempt to restore deleted files.

Then again I heard equal amount of horror stories regrading hd crashing to hell, so I dont know...

That's why it's worth spending the extra money to get cd's from a good manufacturer. I've decided to go with Taiyo Yuden, tested to last over 70 years if you keep them in favorable conditions (which is why I spend the extra money on cd books and sleaves also). The way I figure it is I can usually save a least 3 episodes per cd and it costs me about 45 cents for the cd and something to store it with, and there are very few anime that I won't spend 45 cents for, even if I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

whoa...ur really pissed. That happened to me before but you shouldn't get THAT mad lol. Yep...its happened to me too...except my dad deleted mai whole computer while trying to repair windows. When things lyke these happen...try thinking that your lucky to even have a computer, thats what i do.

SirJeannot · 2004-01-03, 07:25

material problems never deserve to get angry with pps

i learned it when i broke my mothers car
i used it when one of my friends deleted 75gb of anime, and again when i thought my whole comp was dead because of condensation

nobody's hurt ...

stingray · 2004-01-03, 07:46

ya know, you're lucky. i lost 150GB worth of anime that i had yet to watch and/or burn. problem is that not all of them are seeded well so it was hard to get them in the first place.

then my new IBM crapstar decided to...well take a crap and die on me less than 1.5yrs after i bought it. when i had "real" files there and not just "fun" stuff. of course i can't pay a recovery shop cause i don't have a couple grand to shell out for lost data. suddenly it wasn't all that important.

once you d/l and have enough to burn onto CD, do it. or get a DVD burner so you don't waste as many CD's.

Anyway, what I have to add to this is that I deleted 20GB of anime as a Christmas present for my little brother, who wanted to install his games on his computer except that I had filled it all up. I didn't even mention this to the forums because it seemed like whining.

IT'S EASY TO MAKE BACKUPS. DO IT REGULARLY

That's why I prophecied JAppi would get banned in the "Predictions for 2004" thread.

Yes that may happens, and it was about to happen at the beginning of the new forum...

SetaNoriyasu · 2004-01-03, 09:31

well I feel your anxiety, pain and grief, 500 gig's of, work docs. anime (120gigs worth), and plenty of 3d rendering has all gone down the dumps, and how did all this happen? my nephew ran into my room and poured a can of soda onto my motherboard, cuz it was on its side as i was running some tests.
That fried my processor, AGP, memory, psu the whole 9 yards and corrupted all 3 of my HDD's.....

Anime, can be obtained from friends, work redone, but what i was really pissed about was all the 3d rendering that i had spent all my blood, tears and sweat into, had an entire portfolio ready for a job interview which i had in a week.... total of 500 work hours gone.....

but things could have turned out worse... dont get angered or frustrated, dont lash out at people, think of it this way, there are always people that have worse luck than you, no matter how bad something might happen, be thankful that you have what you have....

*damn that sounds cheezy but......*

well thats my 2 cents of advice to you

That is why my PC is always unplugged, kept at a stranded island, inside a life house, locked away in a treasure chest that's guarded by the UN forces. by the way, this is my face after hearing all your sad stories.

. lol. having aol has finally paid off. i love this face so much. anyhow, back to

Laguna · 2004-01-03, 11:44

Heh, I'm glad that I haven't got rascal little brother that deletes my stuff, but sometimes my buddhish-"I DON'T NEED NOTHING"-half takes over control of my body and deletes my anime/mp3/picture collections

Then next day I'm like, wtf?? I just deleted 40g anime I spend half year collecting

All I can say to confort your loss is that anime isn't something worth of getting so upset.. It truly isn't THAT important. If it were your (real) life work of something, then it would be understandable, but anime is only entertainment.

Correct.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I recommend putting password protection to your comp, so nobody but you gets to modify files.

p3psi · 2004-01-03, 13:48

I read about 4% of that post, and all i have to say is stop being such a pussy, and listen to your mother.

IM surprised you seem more upset about losing your anime than losing your homework.

Use passwords to protect your computer

I had already proposed him that

Btw a very simple protection is to make pop up the screensaver at the startup of your computer and to give it a password and never to let the computer alone until the screensaver pop up

Your files probably can be recovered, I ran into this software while DLing the trojan horse scanner...check it out. By the way, I think people are trying to send trojans via IRC, I'm one of the dumb victims, so the rest of you watch out for PMs and links for MIRC upgrade and etc. this is off topic. but.

when it happened to me, i could retrieve 10G on 75 ... but file names were completely wrong ... don't count on those software to retrieve lost data :/

RavenChild · 2004-01-03, 14:45

i've lost two 60 Gb HD's, about 100 Gb was anime the other 10 was system and other things. (i know that that doesn't add up to 120 Gb but you know the 120000000000 Byte thing) the first was a hardware failer, the second was from my brother, he got mad and hit my laptop
