What happened?

No thanks, I'm good for now. But thanks for asking. I'm still working on that data, although now I might not use it since we're all posting away. If someone had something important they remember they wanted, I could prolly get at the data still to grab it. I'm still working on getting at it as I can not get it to boot anymore. Now I've got to build anotehr system to make it the slave drive to see if I can read any of the data.

I was 5 posts away from becoming a Grand Master!!! And now I see I'm reset back to 910! OYYY! I'll never be able to think of enough crap to post all over again.......hmmmmm.......unless I adopt the "Bidoli Theory" of thread management. Yeah, that's it. Short and sweet and rather obtuse. That is a word, right??


Sorry for all the hassle Ed. Do you need donations for new stuff? You know...fuses, extension cords, paper clips.....you know ....stuff??

What O/S is it using? I have a copy of Easy Recovery Pro if it helps, it can restore data from non booting systems across a network. Boot the broken machine from floppy disk and read all the data from another machine as ERP maps the broken disk as a drive on the working system. It's slow but have had no issues with it so far. ERP can understand NTFS and FAT partitions iirc,

my internet died at work today so it was perfect timing...

It's a Linux box. I already mounted the bad drive to another Linux system hard drive B, and can read some file systems, but not the ones I need. I'm screwed. Oh well. Life goes on. I now have to reload quite a few other application data bases, of which I do have good backups of. The only one that I did not get a clean copy of was Bimmer.info. Sorry guys.
