Guest mrx Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 it has happened to me a couple of times over the years. The worst was when my laptop's motherboard and harddrive broke 1 day before I had to hand in 3 finals which i've had already written and finished. I ended up spending the rest of the day at my uni's computer center re-writing 40-50 pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acid1 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh god yes. I've had complete computer meltdowns 3 times. The last time pushed me over the edge and now I have a wireless backup solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkaholic Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Happened to me back in 1997 and I was shocked at myself for how much it affected me. Compulsive backup has led to billions of black binders full of CD-Rs but I don't care; I never want to feel that way again. same here (but i find it hard sometimes to find to a specific file), i also get equally worried by happy and exciting i found it when i got my new computer then how excited i got when my gf asked what laptop she should get, i dont know what it is about computers...

Guest Panoptimist Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 So what happened to the idea of an external HDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marf Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 GIGs of music. Gone. Amongst other important shit, but there is a small tingle in me that feels ok about starting over clean and having a computer that runs smoother without all that bloat. Id still like a lot of my files back though Shrugs.. external HDDS always seemed like a something I needed to get but never got around too. Doh!

Guest awkwardsilence Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Oh yes. So many times that I've become all zen about it. It's almost refreshing, like a spring cleaning or something. It happened two times to me this last fall actually, once each on both drives of my two-HDD laptop. Now I've gone back to a regular old rig though (laptops frustrated me, nothing to do but send them in for repairs), and I'm running a RAID. *knocks on wood* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essines Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 only once, and it was because my roomates dumped water on it while i was out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitroast Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 other night i couldn't sleep. was real tired + browsing watmm at 6am and accidently kicked some cables behind me desk and cut off all power to compy. i plug it back in and turn computer on, freaking out a little. screen comes up saying One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency & 3 stages of scanning. it all comes through fine, and the harddrive/compy works fine andall, but im sure i fucked something up somewhere.

Guest analogue wings Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I bought a NAS that can RAID 2 drives, but I can't afford the drives. But can I afford NOT to get the drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest analogue wings Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm hoping that if I don't get drives for my NAS, Kelis will leave it and I'll get some rebound action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
