In the middle of a cut...crash...hard reboot and my disks disappeared? Is this a virus? Bad disk?

It's currently sitting on the second screen right now.

* plays taps * - good by hard drive, but there is a chance that the slot on the mobo bought it, swap the IDE ribbons with the CD rom drive that is showing up weird on the screen,

ugh that's that new machine too

rebooted it and got this so far

Make sure that the IDE cable is snug on the drive? Make sure the jumper on the hard drive is tight, secure?

Reboot!

and this

usb stick is getting refreshed with latest files

that was scary

that's the one with the dual boot drives skippy

I told you 4 years ago you need to rethink how you do 'puting and put more of a disaster prevention bend in it - kinda like you do on the one computer at home.

RAID disks, with monitoring and alerts, maybe some low wattage / SFF RAID SSD system. It would be an interesting discovery process ;)

i got disaster prevention now john. I got a usb stick with all my stuff on it...good within a week or two at all times.

sff raid ssd? that like a panty raid?

it didn't even save a file I saved this morning. poof right gone off the disk. Wierd.

If your able to boot PC in DOS mode find the directory of saved files using dos commands.
Then use the copy dos command

WTH did he do? (Really - not what he thinks he did :devil2: )

Bypass boot inhibit to boot to flash / ramdisk or something?

I reworked the formulation drive so that the side video processor changed memory defrags, then I cut the microprocessor speed to enable bi annual calibration of the usb stick. was easy right skippy

:easy:

translate that to SOME NUMB #^&#^&#^&#^& left the usb stick in the front of the computer then picked the computer up and set it down on the front. Squished that #^&#^&#^&#^&er flatter than lady gaga's boobies man.

It had ALL the files for that machine on it and was the only backup. I fixed it. All usb sticks go in the back of the machines now :smash:

He makes a mean cup of instant coffee, i'll tell yea....
Just kidding

The USB stick snaped almost in half he took it apart and re soldered it back together. Got the pc to read it and we pulled all the files off it. this was after we got the PC up and running again( hard drive went bye bye ).

You've never seen acid until you've seen my coffee. Eats right through styrofoam :love:

Ok next dumbass question. Trying to delete the old directory so it never gets confused and used again.

My computer
select icon
right click
delete
lots of hard drive action for minutes
BONK windows error
Won't let me delete the directory

WTF :smash:

it's not in use...

disk error or do it in dos

DOS? What's that isn't that like rubbing two sticks together to make dinner?

there is a process that is attached to it. is this the directory from the old website? was front page running? reboot the try to delete it if not im sure i can kill it for you. i wouldnt worry about it.

Re-boot What's that?

YES old directory skippy. FP not running. Will reboot and retry. I just want to wipe it so I don't zone out and accidentally spend an hour working on something only to find it's in the wrong site. :smash:

a directory in dos is written as this symbol :point: \

so go into dos - it's in your accessories folder
or go to run and input command

and type a question mark after the c:\ (and whatever follows)

to see your commands and directories list

in there you'll see the delete command

reboot did it. Something was still trying to use it. Not sure why. Thank you nerds :hee:
