FIX THE FUCKING TROJAN LIVING IN YOUR COMPUTER.

I get a dozen spams w/ attachments from you a day. 

WHAT FUCKING TROJAN

I got some virus mails from you too a while ago 

Can I have some 

is the trojan will scan the infected user's address book, and send messages "from" addresses in the book. So you can't tell who's infected.

I get a lot of messages "from" fingers and sock, and I assume it's just becuase someone they know is infected. At least, that's my theory. 

I get lots of 'your shit is undeliverable' mails about mail I never sent to people I don't know.

i love his new emo look! 

I picked up Guitar Hero I and II yesterday (so I have two guitars yay), and I'm saving II for christmas day but I've been playing the first one nearly non-stop since o_O

Holy shit this is fun - I suck having had no guitar experience before and I'm still stuck on some of the later songs on medium difficulty, but I can see myself practising until I kick arse.

I got into it because there's a bit of a Guitar Hero social scene at work with competitions in a local pub - some of the guys have some absolutely insane skills \m/~_^\m/ but I always sucked too hard to compete.

So yeah, um this game rocks. 

I thought those kinds of games were kind of lame until I played Donkey Konga over at a friend's house. Holy moly it was fun, and he said Guitar Hero was 10x better. BTW - Can you like get your own songs on there somehow? Or are you stuck with the stuff it comes with? 

the tracks have all had to be re-recorded just for the game so that the individual elements of the music can be associated with the key presses.

The songs in the game really rock though - it is a very well thought out selection :) 

Does anyone have the old Quake scene release (like in ripped and cracked) from RAZOR (Quake-RAZOR)in an good health? I want to have it but every copy I found so far had a damaged file (the 6th). I own the game like 3 times I think, so it should be ok to ask. :)

the laughing and crying byline still applies 

I have Windows XP telling me that my D:\ drive (second partition of two, on my master drive)has a problem:

"The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted"

I can read C:\ and load Windows but am running very slowly, and my other HD (G:, H:, I:) is also readable. All of my Quake mapping is on D:\!!

Has anyone any experience of any free partition recovery programs that they can point me to? All of my utilities are on my D:\ drive!!

I am accessing the internet via my laptop and can use a DVD to swap programs between the two. So if I can find a suitable repair program, I should be OK.

I have Norton, Zone Alarm running all the time so don't think I am infected with anything but at the moment my priority is to recover the partion.

Needless to say, any help will be much appreciated. 

or getmydataback, can't remember, was the only program that easily worked for me once. 

GetDataBack is the right kind of program but unfortunately it is commercial software - the free demo tells you that it can recover your data but (not surprisingly) doesn't put it right until you pay. I'm looking for freeware.

But thanks for the suggestion anyway. 

I just helped someone with the same problem.

Hey guys, can anyone tell me what the ftp site for the planetquake webspace is? I want to upload something and I havent connected to it in years!!! 

There's actually a couple of different ways to do it now...

Unfortunately this is another one where the demo only tells you if recovery is possible (and I already know the data is still there) but you have to pay to get the program to actually do the recovering.

I'm still looking. 

my Linux hacker friends also suggest GetDataBack for this kind of situation.

Recovery software (for windows, that is) typically costs money because it's a huge industry based off the fact that most people are too lazy to make backups.

In fact, I will backup my home directory right now because your story really scared me.

Perhaps a local computer store can help you. 

Someone said that you can use the XP install disk to repair your XP installation. It should check for an installed XP or something. 

I used a program called PC Inspector File Recovery, which does exactly what it says on the tin - and it's free - and recovered my Quake stuff. The only other important files were my music and they are already backed up to my laptop and to my Creative Zen.

So I could now experiment without fear. First I did a system file check using the XP disc, no good. Then I did a registry check, no good.

Then, and I don't know why I didn't do this first(!), I booted into Vista and it immediately reported that I needed to check drive D:\. So I let it do that and on completion Vista sees everything OK and I can access everything on D:\ drive as normal. Vista reported finding an error in a HalfLife pak0 file but I don't play that so I will uninstall it anyway.

I suspect therefore that I do have an XP problem and I am not interested in trying to sort that out due to the inordinate amount of time it's likely to take. Therefore, I will do a quick over-install of XP tonight and if that doesn't work, I'll reformat the C:\ drive and do a fresh install.

Or I'll just continue with Vista, which is pretty but I must admit that, apart from my XP problem, there is no compelling reason to buy Vista. Still, I've got until June/July before the beta expires.

Ummm..., that's if anyone is interested :)

Thanks for the suggestions guys.
