I think this is going to force me to break out the credit card yet again and slam it down in the name of all that is DONNIE.
I remembered that for the lan party in june, I copied all the mp3s I had at the time over to another hard drive on my main machine (which I game on). After the lan I just deleted them.
I found a program I used on a pal's machine to do a huge 40gb recovery a few months ago, loaded the demo, and sure enough it found the mp3s chillin' in limbo on the drive, not taking up space, but, just kinda found the imprint, I'm downloading the full thing right now to hopefully at least get them recovered, it's not going to be everything, not by a long shot, but, it'll save some hassle...
As for the credit card, I think this is what I'm going to do, something I've been meaning to do, but, well, didn't get to it in time
I have an ATA100 raid card chillin that I haven't used in a long time. I'm going to order a 2nd 250GB WDSE drive, and then raid 1 the fuckers, instant mirror on-going backup.
Just wish I hadn't put it off this long....
