Gone Temporarily. Need a new hard drive


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I'm not gonna be on the servers for a bit. My hard drive apparently took a shit on me. I'm getting the "Memory test failure" when I try to boot up. Can't get into windows and in the bios, my HD isn't even there so I'm trying to figure out what the deal is.

 

I'll still be hitting up the forums though, via tapatalk on my phone. So if anyone has any advice that could be helpful, I'd appreciate it.

 

Hopefully I'll be back in the games very soon. I'm going crazy with this shit!

If it's not even detected on a few different ports, you're pretty much screwed. Might try tossing it in the freezer for a few hours (KEEP IT DRY) and give it another go. You might be able to keep it up long enough to pull data from it. Repeat until finished.

Hey thanx guys. I've tried it in other ports and it's still not recognizing the HD. I'm gonna get a new one in about a week so I'll be back soon. My buddy seems to think he has a way to pull my data off the old drive so hopefully that works.

 

Buy at least I'll be back on the servers soon. I'll see u guys then.

If BIOS won't see it, the OS can't use it. Unless your buddy owns some serious forensics gear, the freezer is your best bet. :P

Ok, thanks wingless. You really have been a big help. I'm gonna try the freezer thing tomorrow after I get out of court for my DUI. That is, as long as I don't get locked up. But my lawyer said I'm good and no worries so I'm just goin with her...,Hopefully.

 

Anyways I'll see u guys in about a week with a new badass HD. Can't wait to be back on the servers!! I'm dying over here!!!!!
