She went tits up

Neyland · 07-26-2010, 11:49 AM

So while running tsMuxer on a Blu Ray title I was moving to the media server, the system just went blue screen and died. Still trying to diagnose the issue. May have limited communication for a bit. New HD on order just in case. Don't know if it's the HD, the controller, or software... I think it's more hardware related but not 100% convinced yet.

I miss you already.

Sounds like HD. I miss you too!

He he....he said the boobie word....hehe.....I blame the Jews.

If it's any consolation, I think my master cylinder sh1t the bed yesterday. Boys and our toys. I miss the days when a Pez Dispenser seemed pricey...and 10x the fun/value quotient.

My 5yo quit the dispenser and just went to eating the candy straight out of the refill pack.

I've tried rolling back to a previous check point (from last week). The drive checks fine via chkdsk but when it will boot into windows if you run the drive to long it just locks up and freezes. Last night I threw in the Linux live CD and was able to move stuff off the drive onto some usb spares I have.

I'll try to clone the drive over to the new HD when it comes in and see what happens.

Not good cloning so far... pulling the last resort now...

Linux live cd -> dd

Jobo · 08-26-2010, 10:42 AM

What ever happened?

I have a drive that just died too. I tried it in two machines both internally and externally and it simply wont even light up. Not sure what to do, as it has stuf I really want, and I had not backed it up yet . . .

Besides taking it to some place for "data recovery" is there anything else I can try?

odeyssus · 08-26-2010, 12:08 PM

How many times have I said the word ACRONIS?

You MIGHT be able to clone that drive sector by sector (assuming it spins) or make an image of it and mount the bitch and retrieve any non-corrupted data.

Might....

Jobo · 08-26-2010, 12:47 PM

I have acronis and the past few times it has NOT worked, go figure . . .

It won't spin . . .

Neyland · 08-26-2010, 12:57 PM

Odey, by the time we've hit Linux dd we're well passed Acronis.

Acronis failed and as a side note, has real issues with SATA RAID controllers.

Using Linux I got most of the drive data. Still had to install from scratch.

If it won't spin, a data recovery center that might have a repair area is your only solution. They *may* be able to replace the power system. But, they might have to go to a clean room and physically move the platters from one HD to another and see what they can get. Right now you've really got to be thinking how much that data is worth as these options are VERY expensive.
