HARRERUJAH

Journal Entry: Tue Jan 26, 2010, 10:43 AM
PUHRAISE DA LORD. I ran a trial version of a data recovery program over night and this morning it had rescued my folder. Or what was left of it. Thankfully everything that I really really needed was intact. I AM SO GLAD. ;_; Thanks to everyone who shared their knowledge, or for your emotional support lol

As I was getting ready to put the finishing touches on a commission, my computer decided to take a dick in the ass while having an epileptic seizure. Okay, fine. Upon restarting, it wanted to run some... consistency check thing. I let it. Afterwards, the folder containing my commission as well as school work that will be due this Thursday has completely vanished. Google has told me that consistency checks recover lost data. I can see the irony of the situation here, but let us just say that right now I am in no state to appreciate it.

Does anyone have any advice here?

Oh, awesome! :D I read your journal earlier, but had no useful info to share. I'm glad you got most of the data back!

Oh that's good.. I almost lost my entire hard drive awhile ago. The computer just stopped working. Only *one* time I was able to boot it up, and I took the opportunity to back stuff up onto an external drive. It crashed maybe 70% in, but I was able to recover the most important things, thank goodness..... like photos.

So! You have reminded me to back up my stuff yet again D; thanks. Great to hear you were able to get it back.

Oh good god that is horrible. ;_; I am glad you were able to save some of it. Having a HD die is like having a house fire in your computer, it's awful. ><
