Announcement

I am an idiot. :o

Plan: Reinstall my Linux box, which contains some stuff I've been working on for weeks.

What do I do? I make nice backups of all my work, stick them into 3 .tgz files.

What do I then do? Forget to copy them *off* the disk and onto a network share, then proceed to recreate the file system with the install disk...


Needless to say, I had to do some hasty research into file recovery, and I now have R-Linux scanning the disk, oops.

You daft brush :p

Welcome to the idiots club :) :cool:

Thanks, it's great to be here :D

90% scanned so far. If it doesn't pick anything up I'll just get it to dump the entire disk surface into a file on my local machine so I can sift through it for my source code :eek:

Hmmm, 100K of source in a 15gig disk...something about needles and haystacks springs to mind...

I have to admit you've joined our club with some style, I'm quite jealous ;)

Good luck with it anyway :)

I CAN'T FOOKING BELIEVE IT!!

IT WORKED!


Or, at least it's told me the directory structure so hopefully I can drag a couple of files out of it :)

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

congrats mr P :p

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

Well, heart attack moment over, I have my files back :D


Justin - I reformatted my disk having forgotten to copy the backup files off.

your hub is down :( when is it going up again?

I made an announcement that it was going down for hardware maintenance.

Specifically, moving my DVD drive over to the linux box so I can read the install CDs. Due to the aforementioned idiocy, my timing's been set back a bit ;)

My master plan is move the net connection to the linux box, stick dns2go and the dc hub on there, and get it completely tightened up :)

good

Thanks again Mike...
