Post subject: Computer Problems
For the last few days I have been experiencing PC problems, so I started backing up my stuff. <br /> Today my PC screwed up and now I am trying to recover what I can. <br /> My Poser4 is still there, but I don't know if everything is intact. <br /> I am currently trying to copy the folder over to a borrowed 80GB drive. <br /> The mainboard looks like it decided to do something when a write to C drive was in progress. I lost the System directory. <br /> A few days ago, I thought that it might be a virus. I could not run Poser to the render stage and it would hang up and reboot and all sorts of other <br /> starnge things. <br /> The only folder I care about is the Poser4 directory. All others are expendabe. <br /> I have all the props, models, and other things safely on CD. <br /> The strange thing is that the machine decided to do whatever it did when I was trying to backup my Poser4 folder. <br /> I am using a Pentium I 233MHz to access the net. <br /> Hopefully, I will be back soon. If all is lost, so am I...

It isn't the mainboard after all. <br /> The hard drive developed bad sectors in the Windows System directory. <br /> After fdisk and a reformat, there are .94MB of bad sectors. <br /> This is now the second drive to have done the same thing. <br /> The first Fujitsu wiped out all sorts of things on Sept. 13, 2001. <br /> It was under warranty and I received a refurbished one. <br /> I have owned and swore by Fujitsu drives for many years. <br /> They were the best you could buy and were second to none. <br /> In all the years I was in business, I only had a few that ever failed <br /> either sold as upgrades or as part of a system. <br /> This makes two in a row and I now swear at these shitty Fujitsi drives. <br /> <br /> I was able to recover all my Poser Runtime and I was able to make a render <br /> off the 80GB after I told Poser where to look for the textures which were in different directories. <br /> <br /> I was lucky for the most part and only Windows seems to have suffered all <br /> the damage.
