I might be able to get first old pentium 90 with it's little 500MB hard drive to work but computer gaming and Graphics developement is all gone. the swarm, the space butterflies, the Machina, Fyrons dragons, the Souless, the Adamant opening screen it's all wherever deleted files go

Damn dude, and I thought I had bad luck. I wish I had a PC I could give you, but all of my old crap is long since gone.

What are you going to do now? I am sure there are good PC's out there real cheap and easy to get.

Atrocities put it right: Damn.

Are you sure your Hard Drive is dead? As long as it doesn't give you any detection errors during startup then the information on the Drive may still be recoverable (even if Windows is what crapped out). Popping the Drive into another computer (as a 2nd Drive) may allow you to retrieve information off the drive before a format.

If the Drive itself is making grinding noises, there's a chance it can be recovered. There's usually a speciallized computer store or 2 in every city that can make physical repairs to Hard Drives to recover data.

I feel your pain.

I lost ~400MB of 3DSM and Rhino models a little over a year ago when my hard drive imploded, along with a couple of hundred painstakingly crafted custom textures. All my models for all the shipsets I've ever created are history, along with 4 sets that were in various stages of completion. I also lost a bunch of 3DSM scenes and movies that I'd spent months creating with my models.

And I had at least 40 blank CD's and a perfectly working CDR burner sitting in front of me at the time. Argh. I use Symantec Ghost on a regular basis now to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Anyhoo, good luck with that...

I know how you feel. Ask anyone here about my...erhem colorfull history with computer hard drives.

Microsoft Works, the biggest oxymoron in the universes.

Now that really is a true statement if I have ever read one. Well said Lord Kodos, well said.
