Title: I hate my friggin brother...
Post by: Tiara on July 09, 2003, 07:03:44 am: Disaster struck. In other words... my little brother touched the computer. While I was repairing several registry entries and recovering some lost data my little brother decided to play a prank on me by deleting 50% of all my hard drives. I lost my campaign, the HLP RPG and a hell of a lot more.

If you don't hear from me for a while its because I'm deporting the dead, incinirated, chopped up body of my brother to some distant halabalooiestan country.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Ain't no such monster, unless he used those US Govt. rated file deleter/wipers.

Well, I haven't been able to recover my files. Not even a computer expert at TCO's work has been able to.

I did, but I also lost that... (Probably not my brothers fault as it has something to do with the corrupted registry entries)

All I have left is a few uploaded charas... :(:(:(:(:(:(

11... He's now no longer a little kid, but instead a little punching bag.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on July 09, 2003, 08:01:59 am: I suggest that you give him a damned good thrashing. On the hour. Every hour. For a week.

That might be a bit overt, but it's the only way.

I'm glad all my siblings left hime when I was still at a very young age, as I never got any such treatment off them. (There's about 20 years between me and my eldest sister...)

Post by: Tiara on July 09, 2003, 08:05:27 am: well, he still lives with my parents. He was just visiting.

Post by: Martinus on July 09, 2003, 08:29:19 am: [color=66ff00]Make a list of all of the stuff that people have made for you, post it here and they can all resubmit the work to you. Hopefully they haven't deleted it too.

BTW 50% is what 60 gigs or something? :sigh: Isn't that what you said your disk capacity was?

Tried that... Turned up about 200 megs of useless junk I didn't even know I had.

And Maeg, 200 gigs (Recently expanded... again). 100 got deleted... :mad:

Post by: karajorma on July 09, 2003, 08:56:50 am: Click on the link Goober gave you. I managed to recover quite a lot of lost info using it when I had a major crash a while back.

It's a pretty simple program to use too.

And I'm sure he didn't PERMANETLY delete it.

Post by: Kamikaze on July 09, 2003, 11:15:52 am: Did he use the command line and use some command like deltree [/Y] *.* or rm -rf *? Or was he just malicious and clear your recycle bin?

Does that ever make you wonder that you were an accident?

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on July 09, 2003, 11:33:20 am: Nope. As they're my half-siblings, my mother being married twice, you see.

Post by: Starfury on July 09, 2003, 11:37:54 am: All he really had to do was to start deleting then defrag after he was done... Sorry for the loss Tiara, though I have heard that incinerators are really good for body disposal... :drevil: :drevil:

Did you try that particular program? I've found it much more useful than most.

If you did, and still couldn't get it, then that really stinks.

Post by: Stryke 9 on July 09, 2003, 03:08:58 pm: See, this is why I make a regular point of sharpening the machete in front of my family.

Anyway, you might want a more professional piece of file recovery software. They're around $200, but make your brother pay for it- seriously. Exaggerate the importance of the stuff on there whenever possible, ***** endlessly to your parents, and don't let him over again for at least a year- he'll get the message and never touch your machine again. Trust me on this. It might make you unpopular among your siblings, but being a horrible asshole when it comes to computers keeps your files intact- I haven't been virused once since I took to forcing mine off regularly on slight pretexts and deleting their MP3s when they land in my folders.

Post by: Tiara on July 09, 2003, 04:03:51 pm: Hmmm... This is also a fine oppertunity to test my new katana's. Other then that, he's permanently banned from the study room (Where we have the comp) and he's gonna type my entire friggin text from my last essay (232 pages) cause I need it on the comp.

Post by: Admiral LSD on July 10, 2003, 09:33:36 pm: heh, this is one of the reasons I set my computer to lock itself when the screensaver activates. Oh, and I have something that may have helped but it's highly likely you've tampered with the drive too much by now to make it effective.

Post by: CP5670 on July 10, 2003, 10:16:35 pm: I have a little brother of the same age (11) but he also has lots of stuff on the hard drive, which works like an insurance; we don't delete each other's things to keep our own things from being deleted. :D Also, he and my parents are in India at the moment, so I don't have to share the computer for a while. :D

I'd be interested in that. I still haven't touched the HD that crashed on me a few months back so I'd be interested in seeing if I could recover anything from it.
