terribleturner Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I rember years and years ago my sister put all her money in a hiding space that she recived for christmas. Well over £100, but unfortunatly the hiding space was a used envelope which got picked up with all the rubbish and thrown out with all the wrapping paper. Took my dad ages to go through all the bin bags to find it. And to be honest i can't remember if he actually found it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All backups of the orriginals that i own obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Makes you feel sick to the pit of stomach doesn't it? I lost a DVD full of music applications/synths etc I'd collected over the period of 2 years or so. No idea what I did with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 ahhhh sorry to hear that fella. You guys are scaring me now, I have a 160gb drive that's nearly 1/2 full with music - all backed up from my CDs of course! too much to put on DVDs really, maybe I should invest in a backup drive. At least it's in a stand alone caddy, it's not the main drive for a pc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Not good, I had a HDD get nicked which had 140Gb of music and karaoke on it. Luckily I had backups otherwise over 20,000 tracks lost plus all the karaoke stuff as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Speaking of hard drives and hard drive failure my girlfriends ipod gave up the ghost the other day, reporting hard drive failure with the face on startup. It was just out of warrantee by a couple of days - typical! We could hear the drive starting to spin up and then shut down. After discovering the shocking price Apple want to service it (nearly as much as it's worth!) she searched around and read that some people had discovered theirs started working again after banging it. She tried it and it started working lol. Not sure if it was a bad connection or the drive mechanics were jammed but who'd have thought a technique normally applied to old TV's would work on state of the art technology lol.
