Optionally, if you are into porn, install a copy of Window Washer. It clears your track (can be set to do so whenever u shutdown the PC). Also, consider sharing your *media* collection with friends. They make great offsite backup.


ah, decentralize your pr0n, and it'll never die:)

Haha, so true. Unfortunately girls/women often suffer from computer illiteracy.

im not computer illiterate thanks. nodoby has ever taught me how to install a hard drive and ive never had to so i just had my moms bf do it. unfortunately he could only do the installation and was a retard with copying. he also confused me a LOT on how i could copy things. so i finally just did it how i originally wanted to and it worked. and then he just had to fvck with it again.

That seems to be the best way to learn. That's what I did, anyway. I made some pretty stupid mistakes, but it was worth it.

If you think there might be some naked pictures of you in the files that got deleted, I'm sure the would be a bunch of guys here willing to spend hours trying to recover your data.

Just a tip.

its your fault. you knew your mom's bf was going to messing around with hardware. you should have backed it up yourself before all hell broke loose. now suck it up and stop blaming everyone else.

What about a folder i've got on one of my hard drives? For some reason it won't open now. Whenever I try and open it it says access denied. Just out of the blue it won't let me open it anymore. Weird.

Are you using 2000 or XP? Has the hard drive been in another system previous to being installed on your current system? You probably had the folder secured using the system the hard drive was in before, you'll need to get the SID from the old system to open that folder.

WinXP. It's been in the same computer since i've bought it. I haven't used any kind of securing for this specific folder though. It's a SATA drive, I may have possibly unplugged it from the board, and plugged it into the other socket on the board. Would that even make a difference? I'm thinking not, since everything else on the drive works fine.

Now that I think about it, I couldn't access this folder after reinstalling WinXP, but that installation is on another drive, as it always has.

(sorry for venting im just really pissed off and sad right now.)

btw, this has something to do with it im sure. but it was all fine and dandy and then he had to go fvck with it again today.

maybe a mother/daughter teamup would get him to be more considerate of you?

he wont admit he had anything to do with it. we "found" the my documents folder with a couple pictures in it and he thought he was some kind of genius. i was just like thats NOT what im looking for, im not that stupid. hes just like "oh, well.. i never saw anything else."
