(also there were some movies in between and some high quality releases... ooh and a HYMIM season ;P) I am happy that at least 80 Gigs were doubles that I have on more than one HDD I am downloading Sora no Otoshimono Forte now, since I finished its first season, and some redownloads of stuff lost (Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star OVA...) I still have to decide what to watch from the next season T.T |
Isnt there a way to retrieve the data or the data is gone forever?

Well... it has to be some kind of physical damage taken by the drive, so probably not (it works fine as long as I only browse the data, but when there is a lot of reading/writing done it powers down and restarts only to report to me that it has been damaged -> restore, same thing again, after trying several stuff internet told me to do and applying my own knowledge it still did not want to work, so I tryed the last thing I would do which is reformating... and even that did not help, I will try to open it once I am back in my other home and look into it a bit more, but with the equipement I got with me there is nothing to be done...
about buying HDDs... they are still costing to much (after the flood)... with 80-100 € per TB when it was already at 40-50 € per TB, at least they aren't 150-200 per TB anymore... but prices are still doubled T.T I will get new ones when they get cheaper again and I have my PSV... (luckily my other 3 HDDs are still fine (260 GB, 320 GB and 500 GB) WHY WAS IT THE ONE WITH THE TB AND THE ONLY ONE WITH SPACE LEFT THAT HAD TO DIE !!!
EDIT: 2 TB are already down to 60 € per TB... and 1 TB are at 90-105 and 500 GB... the only ones in my current price range are 70 T.T
