:angry: Well, here is the situation I have encountered. I have a 120GB hard drive but was down to 20GB left. I was saving all my movies to disk that I had but stopped doing that cause it was getting expensive bying disks every couple of weeks.
So, I had a 60GB hard drive setting aside to add as my slave drive and went to install it. Everything was fine until I started to tranfer my movies over to that drive. About my 4th movie into the transfer my system locked up and I could not do anything. I went to reboot and when my pc came back on I got failure popups telling me there was a major hardware conflict which caused my C: drive to lose some files..haha lose my ass..I lost 80% of everything I had downloaded and saved over the last 8 months. I tried and tried to recover these files but to no avail. :(
So, again to make things easier and simple...I put my Windows XP Boot disk in my cdrom, rebooted and deleted everything off my C: drive..reformatted and made a new partition. Reinstalled XP and now I'm off to a fresh start again. Starting today, I went out and bought 200 new disks, set up my second hard drive properly and for now on instead of downloading movie after movie and keeping them on my C: drive..I will transfer them to my 2nd hard drive. Keep them on there for 2 weeks then burn them to disk to keep both drives running smoothly.
I will say that any posted movies I have on here with the sigdat links are no longer valid. I am truely sorry but this was not supposed to happen this way but it did. Starting today, anything I post will be good. Again, sorry for all the trouble and thanks for understanding.
