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 :D and some other 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 :eyes:
i dunno about data recovery companies, but i can ask for u...
goodluck man! |

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:( |

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. |
