Aw FUCK!!!

I know my PC's laughing at me right now. I was ripping the first 2 seasons of Transformer DVD and I was about to get started on 3rd season when the hard drive holding all the completed rips just up and ate everything. The first 40 episodes all gone! Every utility I ran shows nothing is wrong and every undelete and unformat program didn't find anything. It's as if someone ripped out the original 80GB drive and installed a different 80GB drive.

Fortunately most of the temp ripped files are still on my other hard drive so I won't have to re-rip second season. Just encode and convert to avi and rip first season.

The irony is I have a DVD burner and I had planned to archive all of the Transformer episodes tomorrow before I started ripping the third season.

I'm sorry. You'll figure something out. It'll be ok.

To answer that question, that one offending hard drive is about to be pumped full of lead. I had finished ripping the 4th season of Transformer and had almost everything burned to disks when the hard drive once again went bad and deleted half of everything. I have since then stopped using that hard drive (it is now unformatted for some reason) and I just never got around to taking it out of my PC.

I have a soluthion to this kind of problems.
I take somthing hard like a chair or vase and with wild screams through it out the window. You wont belive how relaxing it feels.
