my 80Gigs failed me :(

well... it was bound to happen!! 80 gigs of all the stuff that mattered the most to me.... 40 Gigs of Mp3s, tons of pictures I took (4-5000), all the videos I made at Aria, 10-15 gigs of warez and some other shit i can't remember right now...

Anyone knows of a company that do data recovering in Montreal??? I can't loose all that stuff and do nothing about it...

(All mp3s donations are welcome ) hehehe

damn, tell me about it...last week one of my hard disks started making strange noises, which means that it was about to fail...it was a 40 almost full gigz drive...
i immediately went and got myself a brand new 80 gigz drive and copied everything onto it really fast

that was scary

i dunno about data recovery companies, but i can ask for u...

goodluck man!

you dont have any backups ??!!!

Posted by Ortemy on Feb-10-2003 17:47:

When u have sooo much data, NEVER keep it on one hard drive, allways run backups...
Good luck, Malek, same thing happened to me last year I could not recover anything, but it was a virus, that destroyed everything.

of course I have some backup, but its very hard to keep up the backs up for a 80G drive, it takes a looong burning session everytime... well my 40G mp3s aren't backed up for sure. And I'm missing some aria videos now... the only places I know where they are in Syria and the US

ya heh it is kind of hard to back up 80 gigs

Posted by fastmp3 on Feb-10-2003 20:38:

Malek as you said try to find those companies that do DD backups !!! and i'm really sorry for your 80g

Just about any Aria videos that you've posted I"ve still got, unless it was something you were working on, if you need it just ask

Posted by malek on Feb-10-2003 21:41:

i could get all the clips from Aria site, but there's still some clips that were never posted. Also a 22 minutes movies of Mauro Picotto.... where am I gonna find it ?

I found a solution to any future hard drive failures.

Get 2 identical drives. let say 2 times 80 G and run them in RAID. Whatever you have on the first disk will be automatically copied on the second. if one fails, the other is safe.

Malek,

If you really want to try and get your stuff back you can try this company in Ottawa http://www.datarecoveryservices.com/ from what I hear they can work miracles. Although I think it can get expensive.. it all depends on what the problem is. You can ship the drive there and they will give you a quote.

As for the RAID setup (RAID 1 in your example) you should try and use hardware RAID controller. The last software RAID setup I used slowed down my PC allot.

If you do use the data recovery guys, you could give me the drive at Hybrid and I'll get it back to you at Ferry, thus no shipping. However they will reocver all your videos but won't they find your child porn?

i love how the subject of the thread is changing

Posted by alec on Feb-11-2003 20:30:

Well everyone knows the internet is good for only a few things! Music, and Porn! So anyone with a 80 GB hd is storing some serious porn on there!

Posted by malek on Feb-11-2003 20:45:

nah seriously, no porn on that drive or my other drives. Its silly to keep porn, its free and everywhere!

40 Gigs of Mp3
10 Gigs of Warez
5 Gigs of stuff here and there
2 Gigs of Aria videos
the rest is a working space to make more Aria movies

P.S. Thanks Mastercongo for the hookup on Iso Games
