Sorta running. Some of the menur features at the top of the page don't work correctly, such as private email. I get an error page when I click on it. I have to go to profile to delete private email.

Ok, PM system is still out, it appears. And what is that you are referring to Tech? Is that a failed PM or failed sent E-mail?

it's not cool i logged into the forum to read the whole 2 or 3 weeks of posts i missed and since trouble hit me just as i did and couldn't read them now when i go back i won't know what's new!!  
oh well, currently looking at working of the local library as a circulation clerk, or as an interviewer for NORC which i have a good chance of getting since both my cousins worked there and there *ahem* famous with the offices down here, but still busy, i discovered with my HD that since it's paritioned only the C drive portion of th e drive is inaccessible, unfortunately that's the part with my OS a quick solution i'm looking at is getting a new small HD for just the OS and having my friend ship me a copy of his Pir...errrr Lawfully  aquired windows xp till i can get around to seeing if they can add a secondary connector
btw where you living littlwotts? we should go clubbin' or hit some parties sometimes (the former when i turn 21 or when i can aquire a new fake ID )

Unfortunately Damoose, because my cousin somehow destroyed the powersupply on my uncles computer, and mine is destroyed, they will have to be drive-by's at the local library, only brightside is they have a T1, although i'm finally gettting around to contacting samsung tech support about possibly seeing if they can get a second IDE port on my HD i don't suppose anyone out there knows enough about Computer Hardware Specifically HD's to be able to tell me the chances of them being able to add a new port to it, the guy at the local computer store wastn' sure since it varies from company to company and couldn't give me a general idea, here's the info, the drive is one drive but it's c and d partition is built directly into the hardware and i busted off a pin on the side that gives access to C so C doesn't detect but D does, i want to be able to use C again so i don't have to reinstall EVERYTHING, anyone tell me the chances i have of avoiding costly data recovery?

no i broke one pin in the IDE connector that's on the hardrive not that whole connector it still works but the absence of one pin makes C drive undetectable
Btw the one connector on the HD works for both drives it's partitioned into

You might try Partition Magic and see if you can merge the two partitions into the one that can be read. Although, I suspect that the pin that broke is really a high order byte pin and everything with the bit off is one partition and everything with the bit set is in the other partition. So, PM proably won't work. I would be tempted to see if someone could solder a pin on it an hope it hold long enough to move your C drive over to the D drive and make it bootable (use PM). Then don't use C. If the pin breaks again you still have the default parition. I would also buy another hard disk, you can get 160GB drives now for around $100 dollars. Install it and move all you data to that drive and use the one with the broken pin for data that you only put on the D drive.Hope this will work for you. |

| #4491 by Citizen damoose - 8/10/2004 1:01:41 PM Indeed... As Weyr has indicated... You are SOL. You'll need to get a new HD and move your data from the original D: to the new HD. This means of course you will need to reinstall all your s/w. Sux but that's what you need to do. [Message Edited] |

 yeah thanks guys already had that in mind as a temporary option, until i know for sure C is unusable, luckily anything i can think of that is important is in d drive instead of C, although there's still a small hope that the samsung tech shop can do something about it at least temporarily for a relatively small price or even permanently, but the chance is very low and i still haven't recieved word back on that; and like i said if they can't fix it i'm just getting a new C drive and using my friends pirated windows on it till some point in the future the cost of data recovery is either lower or the cost is a pinprick to my funds (yeah like that will ever happen) so if they request my HD to see if they can do anything to it they better F****** give it back to me if they can't so i can use the data on D rather then withhold it and try to give me a new one! , btw weyr whats partition magic? if it's some kind of software i think i already said the partition is built into the hard drive and can't be manipulated, mind enlightening me to what partition magic is?

so how many millions of trees is that?

Ummm, now I can't get into the main part of the website right now. This is the opposite that what has been happening. AAAGH!

you sound frustrated, VoT just close your eyes, imagine the lapping of the tide on the beach and relax

Might want to imagine a cooler full of your favorite beverage right there too.

Yes, Partition Magic is software that allow you to manipulate partitions on the fly, i.e. directly in windows in the latest version. You can add new partition, change the size of them, change the name of them, merge them, etc.
But, since you indicate that the partitions are hardware defined, then I think that the bit set by the broken pin determine which partition it goes in. So Partition Magic may not be able to do anything, but it might be worth a try. Not sure what the latest version costs.
