Now that's a sad story. Sorry Play - I guess you no play computer games for a while now (or do serious things). I hope you backed up all the importaint files you had!

Anyway, here's a little tip for you:

LIFE SUX!!!!!! ARRRRGGHHH!!!

WARNING! EXPLICIT CONTENT! Reading this may cause depression!

My computer is dying. No, really, I'm serious. Something bad happened that I can't identify.

First, my video card started to malfunction. Horizontal lines, distroted screen and everything. I could not do anything about it. Updated the driver, directx, reinstalled the OS, scanned with NAV, tryed every troubleshooting advice I could get. No nothing....
Then suddenly the card started working again with no apparent reason(not that I wasn't happy about it).
For a few days, everything seemed to be in order again...

THEN IT STARTED!!!

One morning I turned on my comp. Started booting, "Detecting IDE drives..." OK, stat screen OK, then when it reached "Verifying DMI Pool data..." (right when the OS starts to load) it freezed. Reseted, then again it happened, but now with colorful letters all over the screen.
Okay, I re-installed WinXP AGAIN (Damit). During the "Checking Hard Dirves" phaze, the indicator freezed at 75% for 2 hours. I fed up and restarted, formatted drive C, then started again. It worked.
But when I first got in to the desktop, I discovered that the WinXP got installed in E: partition. My C: drive was another partition.
This is just the peak of the iceberg.
SOMEHOW almost 3/4 of my files got corrupted! (DAMN) No classification. Programs, RAR, ZIP, pictures, CD images, everything!!! If I try to launch a program it displays an error "The program doesn't fit in the memory" or something else. The archives say "The file is corrupted" and the CD images corrupted too. The images simply don't display. MOREOVER, my DOCUMENTS got corrupted. I opened my novell then I saw 1244 pages of nonsense($˘^ü5~RI‚ˇand like that).

AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

Your HD is broken. Probably the video card is about to stop, also. I had these horizontal lines with my old card, too. It stopped, then came later again. Permanently this time. All you need is to replace these two.

A question - can you tell a frog from a horse - or do they both look alike?

@Seb
Thx for the pic, but it's not so funny now
My personal and self-made stuff is in great danger. I have no back ups of them anywhere(I have no CD burner to back up with).

@rofl
Replace them? Yeah right <_< If I had that much money I'd be sure to do that, but unfortunatly I DON'T. I spent all my spare money to buy this HD. All my 3 year spared money.

[omg]

play this is very bad news dude. post it in tech help hopefully someone here will know some good hd recovery software.

[Playbahnosh]

I posted it already. I tryed GetDataBack for NTFS but no luck. Only recovered the defected files....

[Shrek]

@Playbahnosh: man, you must be the only one who really post his crap here

i 'think you might need a diagram of how a computer works, so i' ll just post one here

(hey, don' t be offended, but i think your morale needs to be lifted up k: )

[Playbahnosh]

My morale will be lifted if my data is recovered and safe But thanks anyway MY computer looks just like this now

Anybody with a useful idea? OR at least a page or something to seek help, becouse I don't seem to find one...

[Sebatianos]

Do you have a friend with a large enough HD to transfer your stuff to his computer? You only need a cable (it can be a simple USB bridge cable), or maybe a USB portable burner... You can just PM me about it (we were talking about meating anyway...).

BTW - don't do your crap here!!!

[Spoonman]

As much as it sucks to lose your data\computer, the cat story made me feel al lot more sad

Guess my no-network-problem with my cellphone while I really need to contact someone is not as impressive now
