Phatsniper Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Tough break man but these guys tell the truth, I've also had the same thing happen (twice no less) and once you get over all the work you've lost you start producing much better work. I always say I'll backup my work and I never do, it's a risky game to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defrag Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hmm didn't you say you lost the 3rd party FF maps you were working on, too? Backup that stuff, mang! Lightning strikes like 18 times, in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS_Mouse Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 HDD crashes and mappers seem to run into each other a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 I didn't think my HD will crash, but it happen. So here is the story: I found a harddrive and it looked new. Well i put it in my Pc and i see it looks good to have 2 hds. I connected em both - the old harddrive with my Windows and the new harddrive. Taking a look if everything is connected as the supply cabel the one wich electricity and the IDe buss cabel with 50 pins that gives harddrive information from motherboard. Starting my pc... and nothing happends! The monitor tells "no signal". After 1 hour i'm testing to switch the power supply cabels to my Hd but nothing happends so i decide to turn off the cabel from the new Hd i found and i remove it from my pc. I connect everything back on the places like before i put the new hd.. But this time the pc is fucked up. It wont start again to work.. No signal, nothing and no sounds. I call the Pc store, i talk with the master.. He says my Harddrive must crashed because the motherboard wont work too. All problems are over with the pc i gotta buy a new Hd. I am sad over this and i lost my work and my maps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazy Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Ive lost half done maps because of crashing HDs, but never one quite as far as your map. It is alot worse than the loss of the mere hardware. You truely have my sympathies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReNo Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Thats just typical isn't it. Its like when you feel like you are gonna spew so you run to a toilet, and its only when you leave the toilet later on that you are actually sick. Bad shit seems to happen when you aren't prepared for it, and when you are prepared it puts itself on hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
