NOO!!! I just lost everything!
 

I went to reinstall windows XP on my c: drive (80 gig seagate) and i accidently erased the partition on my d: drive in the process (20 giger Western Digital)

DAMNIT ... all my current Mp3's, my pictures, videos, gone. I shouldv'e paid attention to what i was doing......

owned...

eh, oh well. I luckily have some oh the stuff backed up. Rob_ws6 has most of my mp3 albums. Some stuff is on my laptop ..... so its not a total lost. But definetly put a dent in my progress for the day.

give me your adress ill send u a tissue man! :)

Blow me.

your not the only one, ive had that happen to my multiple times. yea it sucks and you kick yourself in the ass for a few days but eventually you get over it. and yea backups are your friend :D the only thing right now i dont have backed up are my movies cuz its like 50+gb of stuff and i dont feel like burning 12 or so dvds right now... heres sumthin i used to do, make one drive just for storage and when you go to reformat/reinstall something, unplug the storage drive :D works like a charm everytime, that is until the storage drive dies unexpectedly :rolleyes: (had that happen atleast once too, my 80gb DM +9 which was my main drive died unexpectly while i was swapping MoBos)

i've done that too many times before. thats why i dont touch my computer anymore. if it breaks or is slow, i give it to someone who knows what they are doing. i hate losing papers and mp3s and **** like that

quick ******* sidenote- at least you didnt lose this website :)

eh, i shouldve backed up everything earlier but didnt .. oh well

Bah, never formatted anything that I shouldn't have, I'm always uber-careful when it comes to stuff like that. I've lost too much data in the past to bad HDDs (you know, back when IBM Deathstars still had a good reputation :rolleyes: )

Don't worry I know I have developed a sense to just ignore tsar's nonsense you may too :lol:

maxtor=crap too the first hdd that died unexpectdly was my DM +9 it was like a year old, im on my second one now and WD is still goin strong after like 3 or so years

Yea, i didn't take anything he said to heart. My response seemed to be the only one to fit in the situation though.
