The worst nightmare you can think of

StarLion45 · 09-27-08, 11:29 PM

Hi everyone
Tuesday this week I should do a uninstall of my SH3, I was cleaning up the pc
I deleted the folder in "my documents" , and I used the "regedit".
I uninstall the SH3 and reboot the pc.
Just when the pc should start up again,black screen ,and a line said :"windows system32 error" push button "r" to restore"

I thought this must be wrong so I restarted my pc again , nooo the same line

I went in to the boot menu , nooo the same

I remember thinking
"Oh my God all my files"!
No matter what I did , the same line showed up

Ok,suddently I realized I must do a total restoring of XP.
All my files I lost,and my special folder
containing my mods is lost,everything

So the whole tuesday,and the whole wednesday,and the whole thursday went
when the clock passed half past seven in the afternoon I was finish doing the restoring. You know all of those updates takes time

So something I did wrong but what

I should only reinstall the game .
But now I know it was good it happened because I have a lot more faster pc then I had before

But thinking of all those files I missed , and not did a backup

But my "new" game is running smoothly, and I'm on my way to a new patrol in sept 1939 :

I feel for you!!
Really!! I do!!
Today I was moveing files off my Dev system.
Before I was done, i installed some new software.
On rebooting?
BSOD!!!
No matter what I tried?
BSOD!!
Several hours into recovery now.

Dang, I'm sorry to hear that.

Some advice for the future: get a backup drive. If that's to expensive, do what I did - get a cheap Flash drive. I have a 4-GB one that I save all my work and game files on.

In my case, it was just plain stupid of me.

I had nearly all the things I wanted backed up to another system.
I only left the most important stuff for last.
As I had some new C++ stuff to work on?
I decided to upgrade some software.
Bad move.
VERY Bad MOVE!!

3 hours into recovery now and I just hit 30% recovery of OS
That means all my data will be there.
But all programs I had installed will be gone!!

I hope nothing like this happens to me.

Hi guys
yeah I feeling sorry for you

But something I must do wrong that day.
I remember I was into regedit because when I should do this reinstall ,
I should remove the "nhancer" too I use that I have NVIDIA card
I think I removed something call "windows enhance" or something
It is the first time in my life I do a total restoring I never done that before
so something I must do right

Hey at least your pc is running faster.

I usually do a complete reinstall once a year.
I pushed it to a year and a half this time.

I was going to remove critical files and do a wipe and re-install.
But I got greedy and wanted to test some new code.

My bad.

As long as I can recover the Data files I'm happy.
The programs need re-installed anyway.
After all the installs and uninstalls I've done over a year and a half?
Only a fresh OS install will fix things.

StarLion45 · 09-28-08, 12:10 AM

I am crazy!
I love to explore the system and all of those lovely programs

you know when you are 45 years old (like me)the brain is slower than you are when you're in the early twenties

so I am just a beginner when it becomes to data.
But it's interesting.
I can't help it.:rotfl:

Just dont mess with that file that blows up the entire world.

I'm nearly 51 years old now.

Never figured I'd live this long!!

But I've been doing computer stuff since the late 70's.
So I should know better!!

Oh well.
It's been a few years since something like this has happened to me.

Just got a bit cocky I guess.

I've read the newspaper this morning and I read this:
The passangers on an commercial airliner had to push the plane.
And the plane ticket said nothing about that

Maybe we should do this to trim our braines and body :
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Truthfully?

Since Service Pack 2, XP has been the most stable OS from
Microsoft.
Service pack 3 was even better!
