Attention nerds
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.

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

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  |

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

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

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 |
