Maaaan, I can't belive it, I bought a new sata cable, just to experimentally try this option and guess what... the hard drive didn't fixed completely, it was still doing the clicks of death, but at least was shown in My Computer (without the storage bar under the partition) but after a lot of clicks and loading... for like.. 3 minutes... i was able to see my files... i tried also to access some photos, but that folder prompted a error like "can't acces this path, bla bla bla" but i was able to copy (in a very slow speed, but at least was a safe and guaranteed one) all my important projects folders and my personal settings/presets. I almost jazzed my panths!!! This was a miracle, because the hard drive still showing faulty and in a bad condition and also i even freezed it 2 days ago in the freezer after i saw that i have no other option so i thought that maybe i damaged it more with this task, because i wasn't able to fix it somehow after the freezing. I'M REALLY THANKFUL FOR YOUR SUPPORT MATES, I'LL BE MORE CAUTIOUS NOW! MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL!

P.S: Sorry CATA for the capitals on some of my words, I've got too excited :dancing: Merry Christmas Evo!

 

This is indeed great news, Congratulations!
I guess the project files matter the most

 

Also remember to always keep a live CD/USB lying around, I know I say it often but you'd be amazed how one simple live CD/USB can save you a lot of frustration. Download Knoppix and put it on a USB or CD, then when you have issues like this you can boot without accessing your hard drive and back up your stuff like you normally do. Very happy to see that things worked out for you, great way to start the holidays. Shit I could use a miracle myself at this point.

PS: You can use CAPS in some of your words, we just like titles to be normal with only the first letter of each word capitalized. As long as every word in your text isn't capitalized it's cool mate. We just like to make it easier to find things when searching and also to remind members that we're all important.

 

Hiren's Boot CD (USB)
or
System Rescue CD (USB)
is handy too.

 

Yeah Andrew especially if you're on Windows. In that case sometimes they can be preferable seeing as they're Windows based already.

 

Yes, the photos were useless, because it contained my weak ass when i had no muscles, but you should see me now!
Thank you mate!

 

Thank you very much my friend!

 

hahahaha

 

Thank you!! I'll think about it! :dancing:

 

Hirens feature both mini Windows XP and mini Windows 7.
Actually I wanted to write you PM about that Win8 on your new machine, hope I'll find the time.

 

Congrats Evorax. That must have been a really great feeling.
The roller coaster of life :dancing:

 

Yea!! That's right :dancing:

 

It's a wonderful life, Merry Christmas Presets and Projects ! Merrrry Christmas you wonderful old building and loans!!

We don't know how important what we have is.. until its gone.

Great lesson for all of us.

 

Andrew, what is mini Windows? Is it a cut down vs. that can be used as a DAW? Thanks.

Oops, nevermind I followed the link provided and found out what it is.

 

Acronis True Image. It'll save you some pain if you ever need it. I recently replaced my primary hdd with a seagate momentus xt desktop 1tb solid state hybrid drive ($100). I use the old 1tb as an internal secondary drive for backups, ghosts, etc. Extremely handy to backup your entire system and be able to easily recover. Just my thoughts. Congrats, man! Glad it worked out for you!

 

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

All is well that ends well.

Told you Brother, things can, and always WILL, get better. Seems God smiled on you.

 

Yes, I bought a new 2TB SSHD too, but the big Desktop version, because the momentus xt series I knew that is the slim laptop versions. Anyway... i'll see what it can do in the ratio of time, but anyway... now I'm more cautious with these, I already ordered a M-ready DVD-writer and a bunch of 30 dvd-m discs. Also I wait to get the latest money to pay 2 years for online backup on Backblaze and a new 4TB external backup drive.
