Author Topic: Filipe1020's harddrive is dead (All of his files lost) [finally LOCKED]  (Read 5880 times)

Filipe1020 just announced me some terrible news that he couldn't use his computer for some time and..
..all of his stuff has died. (Cars, models, saves, add-ons etc...)
Im making this topic for him because

He was thinking about to go see some specialists to bring back his files in harddisk, but it's expensive according to him.
So, no vehicles, videos etc for a moment

He might buy a new and better computer soon.

UPDATE:
Good news, I went to a computer store today and they said that it's probably possible to backup my files, I will bring my computer for them tommorow and then hope to get atleast my stuff back on an external HD

UPDATE2:
Ok I went to the store again to get my Harddrive back they said they coudn't do anything, but there is still another chance, my dad (which have lot's of knowledge about that stuff too) Said that there is a method to make it work and he wants to try it, so I will go to his house possibly this weekend with my computer and the HD, and I will trade my CPU with a new computer he have that he was planning to sell it which is 3x the power of mine, but he still wants to try to get my files back, so yeah hooray!

But if we can't get my files back then no problem, I can make everything from the ground up, vehicles for example could be a lot better, and videos could be made in 1080p on that new computer and everything runs really smooth on it.

You should back the files up online.

It's too late, I lost all of my files... (Posting stuff on the iTouch is hard)
no
what

This is why we have the cloud, people

I thought "no" is more mature than "NOOOOOOOOO"


whenever I make addons or hl2 mods I get tortoisesvn/git + an unfuddle account and start putting things on there.
very handy for working on maps when you're away from your house aswell


This is why we have the cloud, people
i have multiple computers.

all of my data is synced manually using usb flash drives between all of those computers.

usbs are prone to fail and format quite easily
I've had one for over a year and it still works as well as ever
maybe if you buy low-quality stuff...

Compared to cloud storage, and the fact you can lose usb memory sticks, it's better to just stick with the cloud.

Awh man... Guess my youtube playlist of "funny videos" is gonna stay at 20 for a while :c

Hopefully majority of the files can be backed up.
