Fook, that isn't good :(
It certainly isn't.
But look on the bright side, atleast you avoid the hazzle of manually deleting files for space ;)
You could however try to recover your files,
http://www.runtime.org/gdb.htm
Never used it myself, found it on a blog I read regulary. The guy writing the blog apparently got most of his data back using the above software.
oh man, I had that happen to a NEW HD I bought a few years back. I was pissed too. :(
Situations like this suck, but they do remind us to BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP data we want to keep.
THnx will check it out :cool:Quote:

shit happens... just hoping I get a new disk for free.
pm sent
you could try the software SpinRite at www.grc.com - i havent found a warez version, but it aint expensive
it happend to me too, sent me to a win98 machine :(
Poor {I}{K}{E}. :(
I'm just waiting for my drive to do the same. I know it's coming soon.
well you could list all the stuff you had, and we could all agree to burn a couple files and mail em to you....
that way you not only get ur files back, but you get alot of mail and it'll kinda be like a long running christmas thing for you
I've seen most of the movies I had so that is no big deal,Quote:

Its a shame how fast computer parts die, usually for no reason. Things like this happen to all of us sometime. :ph34r:
Took me 1 day to redownload CS: Source with all patches :(
