harddisk broken...

Carnage · July 15th, 2002

Life s****,when i was using suprahle i got another error ,something about a invalid page,but still(and i cant belive i was so stupid)i loaded a zelda savestate and well...my whole system crashed....i pushed the on button to turn the power off my pc off,then pushed it again to turn it back on and then....
microsoft scandisk began scanning my C drive and it found 1 new broken file,it was the zelda savestate,oh well then when i wanted
to put in my password(for security,you never know)i had to wait
15 minites when i finaly did it it again it crashed ,i waited 30 min. but still nothing....resetet my pc,again ms scandisk,but this time it took about 10 min to scan 2 bloks!!!and it kept on giving dameged files...
I looked on the internet on my father his pc,and they said that it is
something you cant repair...now im waiting for my new harddisk
but....on that harddisk was everything i had.. roms , emus , docs , games , .....i mean everything....next time il make a backup first

That's strange I never seemed to have any problems with SupraHLE
I don't know what to say about this Carnage. But you can beter post this in the Hardware Discussion seeing it's more appropiate.

Carnage · July 15th, 2002

you mean, write everything again and then post it in the hardware section???or is there a other,easier way...

RF · July 15th, 2002

Yea, hilight all of your text, then press ctrl+c to copy it, go make a new thread in hardware discussion, then ctrl+v to paste your text. Or wait for a mod to move this.

And yea, that is weird. I wouldnt give up so fast. I would boot from the CD and try and do some repairs from that, or atleast try safe mode.

i tried to put my harddisk in my father his pc but then in the slot of his cd-rewriter and it worked a little bit...the drives where really messed up but i still was able to get some undameged things to my dads harddisk ....but my zelda game is totaly wrecked.....
o well it had a garantie of 3years.......(the harddisk,not the game..)

this is my harddisk:40GB AT Maxtor D740X-6L

KillerShots · July 17th, 2002

Yeah, the Maxtor's don't seem to last very long...just had one bite it hard myself...The day after the warranty expired. Needless to say, I'm not pleased with Maxtor (Diamond)

Esturk · July 17th, 2002

I also have a 40Gb Maxtor. I wonder how long it will last?

KillerShots · July 17th, 2002

How long's your warranty?

Esturk · July 17th, 2002

I have no idea at this point.

KillerShots · July 17th, 2002

Well, it's an ATA100, so it's probably got at least two years on it... at which point 40 gigs will probably be really small anyways

.

Yes, I can see it now! We will all have 20 terabyte hard drives with Ultra ATA 600 or some sort of SCSI interface, and we'll look down on our little "giga"byte hard drives like we do now on our "mega"byte hard drives

. And little green men will land in my living room too!!
