*facesmash* & a meme.

[beccatoria]

...my external HD just died. The one that everything lived on. Yeah, yeah, I know, everyone says, back it up four times, etc., etc., but my harddrive ain't huge and I ain't rich enough for two large external HDs so now I've lost...pretty much everything including stuff I know for a fact I'll never get back cus it's been taken offline. Bye bye most of my epic vids collection. I just...seriously. I would like to catch a break at some point, you know? FML.

Therefore in a fit of self-pity I have signed up for the fanvid love meme. I feel a bit like a sheepish whore, but, um, here's my thread:

ARGH. That is ridiculously awful and I am so, so sorry. External HD's can be evil, fickle things, as mine has proved to me before. No chance of revering the data through tech? It's what I've had to do before.

Damn.

Oh noes! It's like an information loss epidemic out there. So many people are losing everything! I think I was about to ask for a second external HD for Christmas or something. But hell, one shouldn't need three back ups!

I already left you a comment in the meme before I new about evil HD crashage. I'm so sorry. But maybe take it to a data retrieval place? It costs hundreds of dollars but maybe? Not a regular tech, though because they can be stupid. Is hope completely lost?

OH NOES. That...really sucks. Vids! :( I'm really sorry. I also really think it's about time for you to catch a break. Stupid universe. *many virtual hugs*

ACK! That's awful! *clings*

[asta77.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOO!!! ARGH. That's not fair! :( I know so little about these things. Is there someplace you could take it to to see if the data can be retrieved? I could run it by some of our IT guys to see if they have any suggestions. I just don't wanty to believe all is lost! ::hugs::

OH DEAR. I AM SO SORRY. :(

I sorta stupidly did a system restore and it wiped out all my vid clips a while ago but at least those I can recreate. Sigh. Some folks must have copies of your stuff they can share? Hopefully?

Ugh. *hugs*

OH GOD. *hugs and hugs so much* I hate this, and I hate that it happened to you. Since my own compy crashed, the only thing of yours I have is Moon vs. Sun, which you probably don't need because it's still online, but... let me know in case?

BOOOOOOOOOOO D:! if you can remember vids you want back I'll bet the internet can help you find them. I know you have like NO MONEY but take some comfort in the fact that when you have a little money you can get a shiny new humongous drive for cheap (it's like US$125 for 1TB now).

I'm not doing the love meme but I LOVE YOU MORE.
