My stupid comp

C0ckney · January 11, 2001, 11:53

Has finally bit the dust, the HD is more ****ed than a whore in a brothel with a january sale on

as a result I have lost:

2.5 gig of mp3s
300mb of por[art studies]
3.5 gig of games and mods and patches etc.

worst of all 900 mb of civ stuff, scenarios etc. including all the work I have done on my scenarios

So napoleon 1.2 (which was 3/4 done), 1400 (which was 90% finished) and my korean war scen (which was about 40% done) have all been lost and I can't see myslef re-doing them completely any time soon.

I can safely say that I back-up Kyokujitsu once a week after that Nat Turner incident.

Fear not: Kyokujitsu will not succomb to a HD Crash!

I'd call that the napoleonic curse. Same thing happened to me too a long time ago.

I recommend to use a second HD, you can use it for backups. I lost one HD last year, now I have to buy a new one...

Edit: JB has edited his post, so I had to edit the answer

Oh well I'll get back to work on Napoleon ASAP, I'll download it form the Sleague page.

btw has anyone done a GIGA europe yet, as I plan to use it....

Yes, master on high made one for me for my French European scenario (after Napoleonic Wars). Its a planned scenario, that has barely begun work.

If you want me to send it to you, post here.

Its excellent.

BeBro;

I could not even find that little picture

Cockney:

Bravo on your decision to re-build your scem. I gave it up mine.

C0ckney · January 11, 2001, 18:48

thanks Polaris, could you send it to cockney9@hotmail.com, thanks

PolarisGL · January 12, 2001, 01:56

COckney, same thing happened to me. I had to get an entire new motherboard or something, and a new 20 GB harddrive. I lost my massive Nat Turner scenario, which as about 70%-80% finished.

Both of us need to learn to make backups on disc.

Gothmog · January 12, 2001, 11:37

I'm so paranoid about hard drive failures, I back everything up twice. Once to a second hard drive, and another copy to an zip drive (removable media).

I wish you luck rebuilding your scenario Cockney.

Polaris, do you think you could send the giga map of Europe to me, too? berliner85@yahoo.com

Shadowstrike · January 12, 2001, 21:45

I still have a copy of your modification of the Hundred Year's War scenario if you want it.

C0ckney · January 13, 2001, 09:57

thanks shadow that would be great, cockney9@hotmail.com

I suppose I should be more comprehensive with backing up my files too.... Since mine is based on the standart of '96. I wouldn't bear the potential losses!
