hard drive crash

[minx]

dru - w/o a computer now that's funny. obviously he takes his spray so seriously that he has back up!

[RuMR]

he's prolly got smoke and sparks shooting out of his orifices right about now...

[Dechristo]

sounds like the "gas station diet rant"

[G-spotter]

Interesting facts I have discovered today:

 

1) one reason my laptop is so cheap is because it ships without a recovery CD. Gee. What a great way to cut costs!

 

 

[Dechristo]

maybe your laptop needs some Viagra

[AlpineK]

The solution would be Viagra for Dru and the computer. Then cybersex for the computer and maybe a sheep for Dru. Then again maybe Dru would like to be alone with the computer.

Didja hear the computer makers are doin' away with the floppy access to the harddrive.

This is the linux distro you want.

Burn it onto a CD.

 

http://www.knoppix.net/

 

Then you can boot up on it and mount the harddrive... like

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

You're turning archy on with all your mounting!!

I already went off as soon as "hard drive" was mentioned.

[Weekend_Climberz]

Try this dru: format c: *.*

 

That's always solved my problems with messed up harddrives :tup:

[archenemy]

stick a nuetrino in the drive first

[G-spotter]

What if I hook it up to an MLU? will the MLU help me find my data? Or should I get a TaunTaun?

[archenemy]

cut open the tauntaun and put the mlu inside. Follow tauntaun. find data. Hope tauntaun does not take a core dump.

[Weekend_Climberz]

No, no, no

 

Computer problems are the realm of Neo

 

[archenemy]

acting problems more like

[Gary_Yngve]

 

The only problem now is finding the original install CDs. Where the fuck did I put them? They aren't in the damn box. Maybe they are being used as coffee coasters?

 

Don't be silly. Your coffee cup goes in the open CD/DVD drive.

You treat a hard drive that needs attention with the command fsck.

[Weekend_Climberz]

I've always tried to finger the OS when it goes haywire. Maybe someone else pwns your machine??

[sk]

what kind of AV and firewall are you running?

[Weekend_Climberz]

I have two firewalls cascaded with several overlaying IP subnets for spoofing anyone savy enough to crack either of them. I also scan regularly for processes not on my authorized list

 

Don't need no anti-virus software, that is just playing into their hands.

I was talking to dru. you had sugested he was POWND and it is possible if he doesn't have some kidn of security running.

[Weekend_Climberz]

Oh yeah! Sorry. My first clue of him being pwn'd was the OS.

[G-spotter]

What's pwned is my hard drive. It isn't spinning.

 

But this means that I get to go visit the forensic data recovery place tomorrow and pay out high sums of money for quick results! Feel like a big spender and blow the month's budget in a few hour$$$!!!
