+Major Lee Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 (edited) I'll be out for awhile. I had a "major" HD crash... Guess what? I have been too lazy and lackadaisical to bother backing up my files.... That's right, it's gone, everything... DBS2, Aerodrome2, Air Race World, original source files, templates, artwork... you name it, I lost it. Data recovery might be able to extract things off my HD, sometime after I fell like paying $250+... Whatever... I have bought a new HD, but I need to get a real version of XP-SP2, not my old, umm, "borrowed" version... I may be gone awhile... See you over the Bering Straits! (sometime in the future...)

+JediMaster Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 It's amazing the rate of HD failures among modders. Seems to happen to them more often than to anyone else I know. Quote
+Crusader Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 LOL ML, I lost my 80GB HD 2 months ago or so.... it was full with all my SF files and 50000+ pics, PDFs, references, the works... POOOF and that was my back-up drive , lost the original drive last year. was kinda lucky that my main HDD with the OS is still alive.. but I am basically" back to the roots"... one single SFP1 install which is slowly growing in size.... its configured as a "Fighting Falcons " install atm.. hehe Hope you get back up soon MJ Quote
Hawk MMS Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Sorry to hear that. I resorted to an external back up drive which I update once a month. I also burn my files to DVD's once a quarter. I have reminders set up in Outlook. Wish you the best of luck in your recovery. Quote
