Bad HD gone for replacement

...with the past two monts' data disappearing forever.

I'll be checking in with this auxilliary account for about two weeks.

(The crossed out flag in this sig is left as an example of what you may not do - Beirut)

I feel for you. I've had 3 cases of dead disks in the last couple of years, the last one being actually mine. I've also had nasty unpleasant experiences with recovering the data.
I've also got the replacement for my bad disk last Friday :P
If you want to talk about it, or are interested in any kind of feedback or anything, let me know (we can exchange PMs).

edit: I'd also be interested to know if you recover your data, what company you're gonna use, and how you feel about their service. thanks.

Uh-oh, this is Mouza ?!!

Feeling the deep grief for your dead-gone HDD, brother. May the fairies of 0-1 Heaven please him.

grrrrr, I _hate_ it when people change their name. I had no clue you were Mouza...
Please, at least put your old name in your sig - and at least for a while (like a few weeks...).

On topic, in my case, the last crash was a mechanical failure of sorts. I got some 80%-90% of the data back, BUT:
1. a good chunk of the files were corrupted (i.e., interleaved with parts of other files).
2. no file names were recovered, and I got back a bunch of directories with several hundred to several tens of thousand of files called "file124232.mp3", "file209843.avi", etc. I think in total it was over 50k files.

Gah!

Sure would like to see that crossed out Israeli flag out of your sig though.

Not very Frontroomish as all are welcome here.

**Drisos** · 08-10-2006, 14:47

I second Beirut.

Wouldn't it be better to show your are 'better then the rest', and set a good example by removing it without staff forcing it?

If I would have to choose I would cross it out as well, but I think it's best when all flags of countries at war ar removed..

Did not see other Isreali flags before so sorry for not commenting on these people. This are probably mostly-backroom posters?

Let the people waving the mentioned terrorist state's flag remove it from their signatures and then I shall remove the crossed out one.

The ORG administration is of course free and able to enforce that upon me but I won't remove it myself until the flags are unfurled.

.

Fine. Then consider it enforced.

As I cannot edit your sig, I'll have to delete all your posts in the Frontroom that show the crossed out Israeli flag. Likewise, if anyone posts crossed out flags of any other country in their sigs, those posts will be deleted as well. As will any sig messages that cross the line of Org. rules and incite hatred.

This is the Frontroom - Be nice or be elsewhere.
