I'm really not in the mood to explain my stupidity so i wont... what happend is simple.. i formatted a ntfs partition of mine with tons of files and made it to fat 32. I have some sort of recovery program (recover my files) but i dont know what is better. To run it now or to format the drive...

Thanks for the replies So I can format it to ntfs and then recover the files with one of the programs you suggested? cus like i said before windows doesn't recognize the disk (says it's a unformatted drive or whatever)... Sorry but i gotta know for sure since i can't risk losing this data...

Hey.. How would one go about recovering something from an unpartitioned drive? With that I mean it doesn’t have a file system (no ntfs fat32 etc etc) or the file system is corrupt. The reason why I ask this is because a friend of my dads did something weird to his laptop harddrive and for...

Sorry dunno how that 5 got there i meant $300 (is edited now) and the reason why i just dont go clicking is becuase 8 outa 10 of those costumer reviews are " OMG THIS THING RULEZ" or "DAMN It SUCKS!" ...and well I can't base my purchase on something like that... and also I just plain trust...

Sorry for not replying earlier was busy with exams :) Done now so I finally have some time .. I’ll be installing SuSE on a test machine tomrrow or the day after so I hope everything works well.. Ok about SSH I did some reading and saw that it basically is secure telnet. This is perfect for...

So I’ve been paging trough these threads a few days now and all I came across is flatpanel monitors or the occasional CRT here and there.. For a few days now I’ve been running a dual display with one 17" and one 15" and what I have since come to notice is that the colors on my 17" (Samsung...

The only thing that really distinguised this from any other next gen games (atleast for myself) was the inclusion of coop.. ohwell .. guess we'll have to wait for a HL2 coop mod Or is that also one of the 5 million things that they promised to be in it when it's released.. sheesh.. who needs...

Thanks for the replies guys.. I have 2 fat32 120GB harddrives so I know they are not limited to 40 GB (just use partition magic). But the fact that they are easily corrupted as was stated above made me change my plans yet again .. Think I’ll go the full EXT3 route with a small 40GB external...

Thanks for that info.. I could’ve sworn the limitation was 2GB.. Are there any other reasons why I should still go for the Ext3 filesystem.. Maybe something like options to lock folders etc ala NTFS (of course locking folders alone wont be enough for me to switch to Ext3). Think I'll format the...

I'm also a newb to linux but i've been doing allot of reading on building a linux file server lately and in my search for material I found this link here. It's a pretty strait forward explanation and they use SuSe 9.0 so there wont be any major differences (i think :) ) Sorry i couldn't be...

Ok so Suse it stays :) .. Unfortunately being able to store files bigger than 2 gig is a must (doing allot of DVD editing etc) , I take it the normal Linux filesystem (Ext2,Ext3?)is able to handle files of this size, right? Also are you saying that I’ll have to copy my 300+GB of saved data...

I currently have a small home file server running windows 2000, it's nothing much but it does its job. Since I’m going to college (moving to Europe) in about 3 weeks and thus moving to T1 heaven I’ll be in dire need for a better fileserver (for local networking ftp and security), *Eh not that...
