[srijantje]

so my external hd crashed,it got all my movies foto's and lots of music on it,3 years of downloading rare movies etc.the recovery guy made a mistake,wiped the partitions or something,now the files he recovered are in thousands of pieces[or so he tells me]and useless,anything i can do?i'm devastated

[billy]

you could cut his balls off.

if he's wiped the partition shouldn't everything have disappeared?

i know some people can recover wiped drives but i hear it costs a lot

i hope pimp or moobs can help you.

[srijantje]

well if the fucker wiped it,he'll bloody well pay for it

yeah,i'm counting on Moobs or PImp to come up with an idea

[srijantje]

you mean have 2 drives with the same stuff on it?yeah,i should have

[srijantje]

i can see the suggestion coming,just download everything again,but with my speeds that'll take years

I have experienced something like this before. You need to do some research, their programs out their for Linux that will take the whole portion and break everything down, and search for mime types of files and put them together. These programs, I do believe, some cost up to $10000 and aren't pirated, others are licensed under GPL.

My suggestion to prevent this is to buy two drives and mirror them, and send the drive to the manufacture for repair of the drive. If this occurs, turn the computer off right away, take out the drive, and place in multiple plastic bags to keep from receiving static electricity.
