Aaanyways, update for you wunnerful peoples.
Note…There is no attachement(s) to this reply…
Reason Why:
After downloading RogueKiller (having to translate the page to English first, so I knew WTHalibut was what
) I copied it over to the messed up HD, then proceeded to reboot the computer, pop into CMOS and switch the boot drive around <IE: BACK to the “old” messed up one)…
I Ran RK and WHAMM-O! it unhided myne filez! So I could see everything again <well 99.9% anyways>. So the HD isn’t dead/dying, it just got phukkered up somehow with multi hidden attributes on files and folders…
However, Just to be safe, I copied the files I’ve been wanting since thinking my drive went Ka-Putski onto the New Drive and am in the process of putting them where they belong. After I have all the files I can get that I want/need onto the new drive, I’m going to format the Old one and use it as a secondary drive and backup system <One that’s sure to be used regularly as it’ll be automated this time instead of “update when remember to and have time”
So, Thanks for the point towards RogueKiller, Essexboy, 'Twas a lifesaver…So I had no need for running the OTS I also downloaded.
As additional thanks, I did run across a nice little file sync program that I thought I’d share in return. Quite useful I found, for comparing 2 folders and making adjustments… IE: Scanning main Music folder against backup music folder/archive…Seeing what’s new and adding just those.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/
Enjoy…and thanks again for all the help.
PS: Be Thankful it’s been a while since I did all this…I’m not hyper-hysterically happy, bouncing and wanting to kiss another guy with the veritable “I love you man!”
