Crow_Nest Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 In school we are doing this project work thingys, we save all our files and infomation in a diskette. But just now in skool some dumb friend of mine (my co-group leader in fact) deleted off ALL the infomation!!! The message was "do you want to format....blablalba" and before i could give him further instructions HE JUST CLICKED YES And now the diskette is damaged, all the files are gone, nor i could put files in. Now we're gonna have to re-do everything all over again. Does anyone of you have any experiences/criss like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 you can get a program that can recover files even if the disk is formatted. the files are still there they've just been coverted into an invisible files that will be overwritten once you copy something else onto it. heres the sort of program you need http://www.uneraser.com/quest12.htm Does anyone of you have any experiences/criss like this? when i was at college, nearly completing my first year. the admins accidentally deleted my account, thus deleting all my work i've done that year. after failing to recover my work after a few weeks they decided just to give me top marks in everything.... i didn't complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExcelsioN Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Lol...unlucky Crow. I always make a back-up of my work, or e-mail it to myself instead of using a floppy and such. Try doing what Siv said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I mean it. :| Yeah, crow, there are a lot of people out there that hit yes automatically on every message. I hope someday a message pops up on his comp that says "Do you wish to be electrecuted to death?" And he hits yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rccar328 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Been there, done that... That's why every time I have a class project, I save it on whatever computer I'm working on (even if it's at school), I email the file(s) to myself, and then I save it to the floppy/zip disk (zip disks beat floppy disks to a bloody, painful, horendous, agonizing death any time of the day!!). That way, there are at least three copies out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHobGoblin Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Yeah I had to do a science project, I got most of the information he did the presentation. The next day He brings in nothing, I had to do it all but I wasn't going to let him get any credit. He claimed he had done it, but unfortunately for him. I wrote my name only on the Board.

Swoosh Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 When I was a junior in high school, one of my best friends deleted over 30 minutes of edited video for our school video yearbook. The thing that sucked was we only had 1 week before school ended for summer! I guess someone should have trained him how to mount an external hard drive..."initialize" doesn't mean "connect" It was alright though...a few sleepless nights and things were back in order...but I'll never let him forget it swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didnt make backups, because my friends arent really people who use computer often. Now, we're planing on using a disk instead. Cause we store lots of pictures. Btw, thx siv, i'll give it a try.

Kain Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Happened to me ONCE. Since then, any time I type something or whatever, I save it to both of my harddrives, a zip drive, a CD, and a floppy, not to mention I try to email it to myself (for the smaller stuff, damn you hotmail!). I'm going to play Tenchu now. BYE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
