Just when I thought all was good!!!

[gremlin1812]

G'day All, well stone the crows my main pooter broke, it dicided it could not find the boot disc. I have tried a few tricks but to no avail so I will use this as an excuse to install a new SSD and attend to a few things that have been on the backburner.
Luckily I do not have trainz on the C drive (and never have).
When I do my first restart I will just start with the C drive plugged in and see if that helps if not I will just reload windoze and go from there.
It's funny how things happen just when you think all is well and you start to enjoy trainz.

Mines been faffing about recently, try a boot time scan. Sorted my adware out.

G'day, well I sorted out the boot disc problem and windoze is going OK now but it appears my external backup drive (2gig) has lost or damaged allocation table and I am in the process of doing a recovery and should know how it has gone in 4-5 hours, so fingers crossed as there are some virtually irreplaceable files there. Between windoze and trainz it is a wonder any of us have any hair left and are not residing in a mental institution.

G'day, the data recovery process reports that there are 9,490,660 files found and the copy process will take 4 days, by that time I'll have trainz withdrawal syndrome and be climbing the walls.

Daft reply coming up, why not usb the old and new external to a lappatoppa and let that sit for 4 days.

G'day fran1, I don't have a lap top and my old PC is too sllooooooowww. I can wait the important thing is the restoration of those files and once that is done the important ones will be burnt to DVD's. once bitten twice shy.
