GUTTED!!!!!!!!!
i wud totaly die if that happened, even though i hav most backed up. but sum ya can't just re-download, cos they were hard 2 find in the first place so then i wud just be beyond pissed!!
you lost 12GB of mp3? i can feel with you although it is not that bad.
the same happened to me in September last year ... the worst month in my life. 3 of my 6 hard drives crashed at the same time. i lost 72GB of trance singles/set/albums ... all my f*cking collection (over 5000 mp3's, over 300 set's & full trance albums). not even a company specialized in data recovery could helm me out 
Moreover, i lost the three HD's too ... some kind of short-circuit
well, i started from the zero and it is exactly what you have to do now.
Use the System Restore if you have XP or ME
okay, how about this
1 time a 17GB died, everything lost
1 time a 80GB dies, everything lost
same 80GB, plus my other one, lost, so thats two 80GBs (i had to RMA them because they were so messed up)
and now one of those 80GBs barely works, i have another 40GB on there i'm about to lose
so 17+80+80+80+40= A GRAND TOTAL OF 297GB lost
so you're life isn't over, everything absoulty essential in the your collection you will be able to get again
good work, PatMcGroin ... i feel better now 
don't worry man, recently I lost 3000 mp3s (god knows how many gigs) cause I screwed my HD but I got over it
Once my sister deleted my folder from HDD saying that she had not enough disk space (about 6 gigs), i could kill her that moment
Time cures, man, now i use CD-R`s to store MP3s and listen them in my car 
lol I know how u feel, I lost 19 gigs of mp3's recently, that hurts!

Did you try using Scandisk or Norton's? BTW most of the guys/gals here suggest you backup your data. I mean i hate to be a prick but in all those days of collecting MP3's didn't you once ever think to back it up? I mean the stories of people losing shit off their hard drives is common as hell. I always download a CD's worth (700) and then burn it straight away.
By the way -- maybe you can look at this as a way to get a fresh start and only get the tunes you really like. I sometimes like to collect tunes until i realise i'm doing it and stop. I then only get the tracks i really like because i like them rather just for collection sake.

Yep, everytime I get near 700 megs of singles I go ahead and burn them to disk 
Better that way, for 'safe keeping' sakes

i got about 80gigs of trance. im pretty quiet around here, but i got about 400 livesets, tons of albums, and a shitload of singles. man, i wouldnt even know how to cry if i lost my shit. sorry for ur loss, maybe i can help u replenish ur supply. PM me man.. =)
all the best.
Like a few people mentioned...
always make back ups on cdr and also catalogue every mp3 usin winamp and paste to notepad so you know exactly what mp3s you have, and what disc there on, 12 gigs isn't that much fella unless your on 56k if your on dsl or cable u can claw back all those mp3s with in a month no worries! i will sort out a list of what i have in my collection which is very upto date and post a link so you can get a good idea of what to get!
hope this will help ya
Im sorry for your loss m8, I know the PAIN!!!!
I lost 2 Gigs of MP3z recently, so I downloaded some Data recovery software which reclaimed some of the tunes but not all, as it depends on what staus the del/crashed file's are in.
I know how you feel. I just lost 13 gigz of mp3s yesterday due to hard drive failure.
Damn...I feel your loss. All this talk about losing our music collections is scarying me. I have about 13gb on this computer. I should be getting a new computer before I go back to school. So it makes sense for me to start backing everything I downloaded in these past few months to CD-R. My question is, is there any good back up software that will let me automatically span the 12gigs across a few CDs? I dont want to have to copy 700mb of stuff individually to diff direcs to burn. im too lazy..hehe

| Originally posted by Vesa This is an excellent advice. It was only recently when I discovered how to make a proper catalogue about mp3s on CD-R, so I'll list it here. Assuming you are using Internet Exploder 5: (BUT DO NOT DO THIS WHILE YOU ARE BROWSING OTHER PAGES WITH EXPLODER; THIS OPERATION HAS A NASTY SIDE EFFECT OF MAKING OTHER EXPLODER PAGES CRASH  ):- "Select All" files on the CD-R from the edit menu - right click on the highlighted area, and "Enqueue in Winamp" - wait a while (so that the enqueueing operation has time to complete) and start Winamp - press CTRL+ALT+G to make a Winamp playlist - "Save As" the resulting Exploder page using the name that you also write on the CD-R and CD-R case This was a bit off-topic, so back to the real issue of the topic starter: The hard disk crash can be survived. There will very soon to be a complete catalogue about almost all trance tracks on http://tds.trance.nu . The majority of these can already be found at the Juno release archive that you can get from: (EDIT: The following link will work on Monday afternoon because the www server of our department also apparently exploded): http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/karhu/j...enewhtmlversion Just read though the catalogue on a quiet evening, reminisce about all these superb tracks, and make a list of which tracks you used to have. Then you download them all on the DC Hub, and everything will be OK. If some rare track is missing on the Hub, someone probably has the vinyl and rips it for you. |
Its stories like this that are making me burn all my songs to cd in a month when I go home. I have around 11gigs right now
u fool... u should had burned them
