This christmas I bought a CD-R for myself as a present of sorts for being good, but as I installed the little bugger everthing on my computer ceased to function correctly. I found myself at first recieving error messages,than the computer locks up, and to top it all of the dang thing wouldn't load. I don't know which is worse, the fact that I lost two years of work, or the fact that I did it to myself What I should have done is backed up all my drawings, but we were talking about 200 megs worth, so that would have been one hell of a backup. I don't suppose smashing my computer to pieces would solve much , but that fact doesn't seem to bother me at the moment. The worst part is I am kind of out of my drawing phase, so just starting over won't work. Oh well, I guess shit happens and than you die, but don't take that the wrong way.<P> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"> <IMG SRC="http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif"><BR><P>------------------<BR> <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/9268/index.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/9268/index.html</A> <P> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Michael Dracon</b> <br /><small>Member # 4</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,11,28,12,24,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">December 28, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">12:24 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> What type of CD-R is it??

I then turned the computer off expecting it to scan the disk so I could restart in safe mode to figure out what went wrong, but I didn't get that far because mid defragmenting the computer kicked itself out of the program,so after that there was no hope left.The computer seaced to function at all.<P>My graphics might have not been all that good, but after all they were mine, and a lot of time and effort went into producing them. I just wanted to say goodbye to the forum for a little while because this kind of reminds me of all the work I lost. I am not saying I wouldn't be in occassionally, but I definately will be doing alot more lurking and alot less posting. <P>------------------<BR> <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/9268/index.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Stargate/9268/index.html</A> <P> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Mucus</b> <br /><small>Member # 24</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(1999,11,29,21,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">December 29, 1999</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:22 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Well what I'm saying is that you should take out the hard drive with your work, take it to a friend's house and see if they can recover it for you.<P>Unless you had a HD crash or the defragmenter destroyed parts of your work, you should still be able to get most of your work back. <P>They also have commercial services that can recover data from even damaged HDs. <P><P>------------------<BR>No I'm Spartacus! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
