That is very kind of you to ask. She is still in a lot of pain but is making progress.Quote:

Now I think quite a few people will know that checkdisk usually worsens <any> problem you <might> have, so I usually just skip the test and go straight into Windows. Not this time, for some stupid reason I couldn't use the keyboard to disable the disk check.
Now guess what... Checkdisk ran, now I am stuck with a corrupt Windows install. So I thought: bugger, I need to reinstall. I first tried startup-repair. Nothing. Then system restore: nothing. Manual system restore: nothing. Apparantly checkdisk managed to ruin my bootsector. So I then took my spare 20GB Quantum Fireball (in fact I have ~10 of them, none of them ever failed on me) with the spare OS for troubleshooting installed on it and booted up. Whew, all the disks are accessible. So off I went to copy my data to the external drive when... Oh F*CK, checkdisk corrupted my external disk. It had ALL my backups onto it. WHY OH WHY RUN THAT @#$^%&^(#@$%!@#$%#$%# checkdisk if nothing is going on!
So now I don't really know what to do. I can either void the warranty of my external disk and put the disk in on of my systems directly, hoping that all my data is still accessible (which I am not sure of) or I can just return it to my retailer hoping that I get a replacement, but still losing my data. I am backing up my data to every system available on the network. Having 2TB of data really is a pain if something goes wrong. Thank goodness for gigabit networking equipment.
/rant :(
Sounds rough. I wish her a speedy recovery.Quote:

That sucks, sorry to hear about it. Hope you come up with a solution
Woke up this morning, everything is either dead or had its OS corrupted. Mithril is TECHNICALLY fine, but its CPU block won't fit, so I have to wait till NoL sends me the GTX...
Boot up my kids' rig, it boots, and the video card dies. RMA time for me...
Wife's main and laptop are corrupted. Will have to try and find my OS disks tonight...
So we're down to one computer. Joy.
When you get that many hits at one time my first guess would be a power surge/dip - unless you have everything on a UPS. Second guess would be a virus/trojan/malware. What firewall and a/v do you use? Power problems shouldn't affect laptop though - unless it was a killer surge. :shrug:Quote:

Turns out it was a bad update. I'm working on a new OS as we speak.
yeah, mickey$oft pushed out a killer patch last night.
yup...have spent my morning making sure WSUS bounces it back. :shakes:Quote:
