yeah but if you can get a new hard drive out of them then that might make you feel better.

and maybe if you argue enough you could get them to fork out for some data recovery guy *shrug*

Dude correct me if i'm wrong but hasn't this happened to you before??

If ur going to 5am at the Room any time or to PvD i'd be willing to burn u a few mp3 cds.

I really feel for you. After losing a 30gb "deathstar" (which fortunately only contained my OS), I decided to do the smart thing and spend $240 on a Thermaltake Xaser II 5000 case. The best investment I've made. This thing's as quiet as anything, has a temperature monitoring device, CPU fan control and 5 case fans. Now my HDDs run at room temperature, whereas they used to be so hot that you could fry an egg on them.

Mmmmm, steel cases are hella cool (mine didn't come with the side panel though)


Mmmmmm, did anyone mention 5 case fans?

BTW, this is my first post in *ages*

Originally posted by waXology yet again my i have lost all my files and music etc.. this time it wasnt my fault came home last night and my screen was blank with the little flashing thing in the top left hand of the screen, tried resetting numerous times but it wouldnt boot, every now and then it would boot but u would only be able to use windows for a little while before it hung, but it wasnt the OS it was like the computer couldnt find the things to run once you gave it a command! anyway this arvo it got worse and when you tried to boot it gives you "Boot disck failure" etc.... so yeah i lost all my music and eveything!! damn computers!

Fucking sorry to hear it man. PM me, if you live round my way I'll do my best for you. It doesn't sound too good, but a geeks eyes/thoughts on trying 2 fix it can't hurt. WHen you turn the computer on does the HDD get detected @ all? can you hear it spinning up?
