Samurai Edge Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 My computer was sent to be repaired, and they did a reset. All my files are lost, which includes roms, roms saves, images, video, music and tons of things. This is the first time I ever reset so EVERYTHING is gone, I feel so sad. So, share your reformat experiences with me.
Alpha Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Did they ask you before they reformatted your hard drive!?!
BlackKnight Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Oath they should ask... I'm sure there's got to be some regulation about that. They only time I lost everything was back in 2000 and I didn't have a CD burner, so never backed up stuff. Hard drive gave up.. I was extremely depressed. Took me some months to get a new one simply because everything was gone and I couldn't be bothered with the computer for ages. Sorry to hear about it.
L.S.D Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I always do backup. Especially on those hard to find roms
Weirdy Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 you should've seen this coming from a mile away and just backed all the stuff up
Samurai Edge Posted July 1, 2005 Author Posted July 1, 2005 Did they ask you before they reformatted your hard drive!?!<{POST_SNAPBACK}>They said it might be hardware problems or viruses, so they suggested to reformat, and I answered YES
Weirdy Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 oh well...at reformat isn't always bad at least incriminating logs have been erased @_@
Agozer Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Man, that sucks dude. At the moment, I'm without a DVD-ROM drive, because it was sent to the manufacturer (it was faulty). Furthermore, when I get a new one, the nice folks at the computer store are going to add more fans and check the ventilation because my computer overheats quite a bit. So, no CDs/DVDs for me for over two weeks.
Weirdy Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 man, gryph's dvd drive broke and so did yours, and here I am selling my dvd burner for $30 if only you guys lived closer so I can sell it to the highest bidder
Agozer Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 The great thing is that I'm getting a better model free of charge.
Jaegermeister Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Same prob I had 2 years back. (damn fuc** IBM Harddisk). Now I have from all downloaded software backups - and this 3 times.Its a disaster if I lost all my 1056 roms. How L.S.D says.
