... oh man. Hats down for that unfortune ...is it physically damaged, or non-responsive ? Software like AcronisDirectorSuite could maybe help recover at least some stuff.

yh its dead! tried to just connect the power with no data cable and that should spin it up no matter what settings ur pc are on, but nothing! no spin, no clicking, nothing! cant get anything back if the drive wont spin up! tried the old knock off the wall trick too in case it was jammed somehow but that didnt help! so i just see it as its dead and not much i can do about it!

i see on the net that there is a small chance that if i replace the pcb with an identicle one i may be able to get it running long enough to back it up, but thats if it IS the pcb and not the motor! even then there is no guarantee swapping the pcb will work! sux, but my fault for not backing it up sooner!

Damn sad thing - know there are people who can disassemble an HDD and get the data from the discs anyway, but thats an Google corp. paycheck level.   

I always had my stuff on two HDDs or at least an USBstick for such reasons (but mostly, cause i change my modells really a lot and sometime i do something stupid and save it for some reason like that ...). But, just now crossed my mind - Linux has some else way to work whyte HDDs - its a probably no-solution try if really there is something whyte wiring to the motor or chips on the disk circuit, but its still a try worth if something can be salvaged. Try the life-version Ubuntu and look at discs trough the disc-manager ... i hope it kicks in at least for something ...

I don't have the GTO TransAm or the Camaro. I feel left out.

Damn that sucks to hear bugsblake. The only cars I have from you are the;

* Dodge_Charger_1969
* Dodge_Viper_2013
* EVOIX
* ford mustang bullet2
* Pontiac_GTO_1965

I hadn't got around to getting anything else. Now I am wishing I had.

thanks anyway guys! i managed to get my MQ-9 Reaper i started back off mediafire as i uploaded it to get help with landing gear! not sure if i still have the max file in that folder, not checked yet, but would be nice to get that finished!

my cars that are missing from here are also missing from mediafire! so im wondering if the models i used were copywrighted and was taken down? but even if that was the case, cam should have known about this and would have explained the missing pages here! but no such luck! anyway i got a mate gonna send me some more models soon so lets see what he has for me and ill prob knock up a few more!

Some upload sites have kinda "cloudy expiration dates" when it comes to out-of income stuff and not much downloaded stuff ... stable stashes might be better (i experience those expiration often on my own work stuff).

As far as I know no threads were deleted on this forum, are you sure they were posted in their own separate topics here?

[bugsblake]

i cant even remember tbh, was so long ago! not to worry anyway, if they gone not much i can do about it! might be able to get my hands on the models again, will have to rig them all again too though! see how it goes.

The search engine didn't find it on some names ? I know, their were posted in times, where much of forum-section systematization wasn't very "in". It could be lurking somewhere in depths of the draining shadows of all those vile quotes and posts ... hope, they are (specially that the upload servicer didnt delete it) ...

P.S.: Its good to save the uploaded file-sites somewhere in a text document and check them form time to time too. Was a help for me several times.

Bugsblake, if you have trouble finding a permanent storage solution for you models, I have a website that wont expire until 2023. Its on a 10-year unlimited plan (bandwidth/storage etc) so if you want I can keep a mirror copy of any models to be available online if you wish to make models available in the future. Ofcourse there are always sites like Google Drive. Which as far as I know doesn't expire. Your call either way mate

I know what its like to lose files. I had a harddisk die last year that held a lot of my programming, website development and 3D modelling project files and all my personal files dating back as far as 2002. It wasn't the first time I lost huge amounts of data but boy was I pissed. Angry with myself more then anything for not keeping a backup.
