where?
 

where the fuck did my hard drive go?

i have 2 hard drives in this comp,both have been partitioned........and all of a sudden 1 HD has just up and left.


WTF?

it had all my recordings and shit....(no...dumbass didn't back them up)


it says that my parameters are incorrect..........oh man......


i'm fucked now...........anybody got any ideas please?


*starts to cry like a baby*

does it detect in bios?

does it detect in device manager?

does it detect in disk management?

in system.........it shows that my c,d,and h drives are all being monitored......and it also says my g...(the drive in question) is not online.......


i'm goin to look for anywhere it does detect....i'll be back.


thanks alot dilbert........

does not show up in bios.........




wtf?


and i'm not too sure how to get to the device manager or disk management.


it (g drive) was fine last night when i put the last coupla recordings in but........it just fucked off on me this mornin'......


thanks again for your help Dilbert.:thumbsup:

If it's not recognized in BIOS it probably won't recognize it in Disk Management, or Device Manager, but for future reference to get to those. Right click on My Computer (I'm assuming it's Windows XP), and select Manager. There should be Device Manager, and Disk Management listed there.

Is this a desktop or a laptop? If a desktop, might be time to open it up, and make sure the cables are securely connected.

This is a physically seperate drive, not a partition right?

desktop.........i opened her this morn.....all wires and shit are good.....

and no...it is a partition.......the other half of my harddrive is still there......

c and d........all is good.........a partition as well.

g and h.........g is gone,h is still good to go........

*confusion sets in*


thanks for the help guys.


:thumbsup:

sounds like its dead, anything important on it?

Awe F***, Fly I sure hope you get your music back!

Hey fly, if you and your help can't get it fired up, I've read you can send them out and have them repaired. It will cost you but hell if your music on it, the price is probably worth it.
I feel your pain man! Good luck dude.

I do data recovery here on the west cost, but your a ways away... if all you have is music, don’t worry about it, see if the drive is under warranty, and if it is, get a replacement. Then rerip the music.

I think it's original music. If this happened to me I'd crap my pants ... I have more than just my own original music on my drives.

It's weird that it's a partition. You can always splurge for some data recovery software ... personally, I'd go for a company that does data recovery.

Good luck ...

.....alot of it yes......










damn.............sounds awfully shitty to be in my shoes........:eek:



still workin' on it guys..........many thanks for all your help.


gonna send the hard drive to a buddy and see what happens.

the two others guys in the band have damn near all of what i've lost but,....i had a few things here that were one and onlys so.......yeah i'm a bit bummed.

*maybe you shoulda backed up your files dickhead*


anyways..........it's all just a format away isn't it?..........

:thumbsup:

what a mouth on this guy

you noticed?..........nice:thumbsup:




i went into my partition and got this....


the file system is NTFS
warning!!! F parameter not specified
running CHKDSK in read only mode
CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)
file record segment 7156 -to- 7163 is unreadable
file verification completed
errors found.
CHKDSK cannot continue in read only mode


any way out of this delema?


thanks again guys.

Fly, I found these, don't know if they really work but, here's something to check out.

http://www.highergroundsoftware.com/

http://www.harddriverecovery.org/

I sure hope something works!

Good luck again!

i use Get Data Back, http://www.runtime.org/ for all my FAT and NTFS recoverey needs. its a bit expensive, teh entire bundle cost $200, but if you know what file system you were using, you can select just The one you need.

i'm running with a 54/57 succsess rate.

yeah well..........i took the damn harddrive in........probably be around a hundred bucks.........unless he can't retrieve anything then it costs me nothing but internal pain.

you guys have been a great help.....many thanks fellas.


cheers

ding-ding...........cost me money but......i got it all back



woooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooo.........


you guys have been a big help........thanks for all the input.


*heads off to backup all his shit*

Good deal fly, sucks it cost money, but I'm glad you got everything back? Is the harddrive still working, or does it have bad sectors?

buddy formated it.........but he figures it's no good.......

i'm gonna do one on it as well with some software he gave me......said it'll take like 12 hours so.....i'll do it tonight.......

dont use the drive again, if it failed once, it will fail again, soon, get the data off of it, and return the drive if its under warranty, otherwise, destroy all the data on it and use it as a paper weight.

damn...........paper weight it is then.


you the man dilbert

Whew! I feel ya, Fly! I know I'd panic if I thought I'd lost my music. Congrats on the recovery! Gotta be worth every penny.

I've never trusted partitioned hard drives. My paranoia is heightened by your experience. Separate drives, backed up, for me from now on!

yeah.........i now know......and the hard way too.


my tunes have there own hard drive now.....bought an 80 ..so plenty of room.

just moved a bunch of originals into my comp in my studio..so those are now safe........all are gonna be on disc soon too.

thanks grump

nothing is wrong with partitions.
