You're a computer engineer, why aren't you jumping in there and fixing this
problem?????????? Use that 'degree' you crow about all the time!!!

My local Computer Shop has some good restore tools and they can probably find my lost D: drive. It has a ton of old archive pics on it. Stuff of my house's restore, etc. Old pics, and I want them BACK!

You mean you don't keep one or more backups, offline and powered down?
What a goofball.

I have most everything that's important saved on all 5 active comps
here . Music , photos , software , tax returns , it's all saved on 3
desktop and 2 laptop computers . If a comp crashes and burns , I just
replace/repair whatever fried , reload the OS and all the programming ,
and roll on . And I don't even have a computer degree of any kind ! I
even have all the important updates for Win7 (XP just doesn't cut it any
more , too much software will no longer run on it) saved along with the
programming to install them offline .

When I got a new computer in January I picked up an external hard
drive to transfer and back up my files. It was about $80 for the drive,
plugged it in and it went to work. It was a lot slower transferring from
the old computer to the external drive than it was to transfer them from
the drive to the new computer.

That's probably why you have way more computers than you need.

Also, you don't mention any offsite backup. If your house burns down
or a burglar takes all your stuff, it's Sayonara Snag-san!

Where would we be without offline updates for Win7!

For the same reason you just did. Personally, I see no reason to have 3
desktop and 2 laptop computers. Sounds like overkill to me. <shrug>

Kuthe is stuck in an alternate universe where no one has moved past XP.
The folks at that computer shop will charge him an arm and a leg to
find the "missing" drive (partition) and he'll gladly pay it. I'll bet
he's never heard of resetting the System Restore Point. Probably never
backs up anything at all.

A house fire could mess up all your plans for that.

This is why pics should always be on an external hd - for safety. I
value mine so much that I also keep an hd at one of my friends place
so that should a fire happen and I am out, they are still safe. Very
basic thing to do.

Not to mention running periodic backups (you can select which drive to
back up) to the external drive. I keep my external drive in a small
suitcase-type fireproof safe (along with essential papers).

Either burn them to a CD or put them on a thumb drive or two. Much safer.

The problem is that the ability to read these media is disappearing. If you are able to read your thumb drive, your computer might not be able to work with your old file formats. Local storage is a dying proposition. The world has passed on magnetic and optical media but solid state is currently the safest and most reliable personal archival medium - for now.

Oh, FFS. Just shut the **** up. What do the file formats have
anything to do with any of that? Even if you mean to say fileSYETEM
format, you're still and idiot as the FS format is totally
independent the storage medium.

Just **** you and **** off. You're the guy who used to brag about
his computer: My computer has SIX KEYBOARDS! You can type on all
six of them at the same time! And I'm going to upgrade to 8 next
week!

According to his endless posts, he should be able to fix his computer since it
is only one of his THREE degrees. We're constantly reminded of how smart

A 25 year old computer degree is completely worthless unless he kept up

It doesn't take a degree to pull and replug the data and power cables
on that HDD . Many times that's all it takes . I have no training at all
in computers , yet every desktop in the house is home-built . And each

This is true. Not that I have a computer degree, but I was employed as
a "software engineer" 30 years ago. Today, I only know how to turn on
the computer.

Of course it's useless so why does he keep telling us he's got that
degree? Dude couldn't even figure out how to keep up with Google Groups
when they recently changed formats. He refuses to step out of the
way-back machine. At some point the computer store will stop supporting
that ancient computer. Oh dear!

No they won't! Because dinosaurs like me keep needing their support!

Dinosaurs like you are being replaced at computer repair shops with
youngsters and users who have moved past XP. Doesn't explain why you
never figured out how to run BACKUP on that drive and oh gee, figure
out how to restore it. You can stop adding computer anything to your
list of so called credentials.

Good Luck with that. I used Windows Live Mail for years and it was my
preferred mail reader, but it was starting to act up and they had
stopped supporting it. When I got my new computers I was not even able
to download it for installation.

That's not so weird. Hard drives aren't that reliable. I had a drawer full of dead HDs. Another problem with desktop computers are the power supplies, but least people don't lose their stuff when their power supplies die. My guess is that people losing their archived junk on HD is going to be commonplace because people still use these archaic devices. Keeping your stuff on hard drives is a serious mistake.

I was at a place once where someone used industrial adhesive to glue all
the old HDDs from that zone into a piece of furniture resembling a full-
sized 'Lay-Z-Boy'.

And you can't do even the most minimal debugging? Start in the
BIOS...... Ahh, no, Just take it top the shop where they'll charge
you all the paychecks you've made in the last 3 years. Yes, do that
instead. Since you don't have friends that can help you.

usually when you take it to the shop they solution is to format the hard
drive. Data? Not our problem.

C'mon. You tell them you want the data. It's not a problem; it's an
opportunity. Then they can (for a fee) try changing the on-board
controller, if they can find an identical model where the medium has
failed. Then they can at least tell you definitively that *your* medium
has failed. You still don't have your data, but now at least you know it
is truly gone.

That's getting advanced. John's "drive" is probably a partition on
the same HDD.

As this is XP, maybe it's been caused by someone or something
jinxing the MPT entry in the MBR.

Yep, my D: drive is a Logical drive not a Physical drive. Window just temporarily lost its pointer to it, but everything is OK with it now.

Please define your acronyms at least once before using them.

And yes, a bad USB Hub was causing my D: drive to not be visible, but it's back now! Yay! :-)
