8TB of Data Gone?! And A BSOD Just For Kicks

21 Aug 2010  4 Comments

Ever since I got back from the US about a month ago and I’ve been having problems with my gadgets.
When I first arrived I noticed that my SATA tower that is connected to my WHS is not reading any of the 3 HDD that are installed in it. I switched it off and didn’t switch it back on ever since.
This really pissed me off because it has 8TB of data, some of it is irreplaceable like family videos and pictures.

Then a few days later, my PC started to act strangely. I would get BSOD from time to time.I thought it was due to overheating so I opened up the case and did my annual PC cleaning (without the usual formatting) and it worked fine for a while. Then it happened again and couldn’t get it to work after that. This time I suspect that my GPU is fried. I will be going to Hawally tomorrow to check if its really the video card and look for a replacement if needed.

After getting the PC fixed I will look into the server issue, and hope my data is still salvageable.

    Azbal, my worst data loss experience is when I accidentally formatted the wrong partition with all my college year papers, projects and pictures :~(
    Never do a format in a hurry.
