yup backing up is good
its a arse when a drive bites the dust
soryy to hear it ally

oh i have a backup tape drive f/s :D

:lol:

I dont know where it is, which worries me.

I want the drive back because if this guy has been a bit dodgy and goes onto my pc and looks through my drive he's gunna find all sorts of stuff i'd rather no one saw.

Its not a tatoo :D

All files are catalogued on the drive. Deleting a file simply removes the entry from the catalogue. The file still exists, but as the file system has no record of it, it won't show you it. You need special software (such as Getdataback) to read the parts of the drive which are still used but no recorded as such.

Out of interest - where is your other drive? It is still your property?!

yep, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS back up

i have 3000 pics on my PC from uni, home, mates, cars etc and none of them are replaceable

i have 3 cd back ups, one in my room, one downstairs and one in some1 elses house

If it was formatted & then re-installed over, it would be hard to get anything back!

he probably installed yahoo thinking he was doing you a 'favour'

next time, post it up to me I'll sort it out for nothin & if I do need to re-install everything I'll check with ya first & back it all up aswell! :thumbs:

this bloke must of been a grade-A gimp! :lol:

Do a search for a program called Getdataback, thats what I used and I got all my stuff :thumbs:

:rolleyes: I can sense ur sadness ned.

:thumbs: - Thankx Ian.

shame

Even if he's formatted it might be possible to get things back, if you don't use it too much a lot of the old data will still be present and recoverable. You only need run software to find it.

Only a few are in my garage :(

Had a few of family n friends which are gone :(:(:(

Some one must know where to get the other programs?

are most of the photos on the internet???
if so not all is lost. is still shit though :(

My computer died, so some bloke came and fixed it.

:mad: He has done such a shit job :( He managed to wipe our hardrive, then told us there was nothing he could do to save anything on there. Which is bullshit because it was fine before he took it away.

All the settings fucked, ive lost 400 music files, approx 100 photos :(:(:( and i never saved any of it because i just assumed that this guy wasnt going to fuck my computer up.

Can any of you guys help? Ive lost my photosuite program, kazaa lite, my creative music player and a few other things.

Does anyone know where i can get them from

:(:(:(:(

Thankx
