Story of my (satur) day

[patrickv]

So yesterday while sleeping, i heard some crackling noise from my PC, so i woke up and switch it off (too tired to check what ).
waking up the next morning, bootup my PC,i get a BSOD , so fast i couldn't even read it.
so i thought it was the disk boot failure again , boot up from the Xp cd, CHKDSK and FIXMBR, didn't seem to resolve my problem.
So i take the hard drive and boot it up on osX. OsX could detect only the D partition, i was like "oh ma god, where is C?"
well "C" was corrupted, not to mention my C was infested with the w32 worm fujacks the day before (i wasn't using Antivirus cause utorrent crashes)

So i reformat and attempted to retrieve back my lost data, every program i use said error reading partition or similar message. i was like "oh, sh*t".
So i did a full format and here i am, trying to re-build my desktop.

it went fast because you didnt set it to save the krnl dump file to disk

oh, ok, but what if i did save to disk, HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO READ THE DUMP ?,
considering after the BSOD my pc reboots.
edit : it reboots even in safe mode, apparently my C was corrupted in read as "raw"

Well next time, don't switch off your Anti-Virus...

Did you loose all your files or you had backups of pictures, videos and music?

i didn't switch it off, if i used one, for no apparent reason utorrent crash, i made a thread concerning this, but no one could help.
so i decided to run a week without AV, turns out this wasn't the smartest of ideas

Did you loose all your files or you had backups of pictures, videos and music?

didn't have much stuff on C, only a few torrent files about 2GB+,and oh i lost all my windwaker stuff, avatars, music etc.
thx god i had a D partition with my music,videos, & personal work stuff on there
