CHKDSK saves the day, once again.

I canceled the ongoing CHKDSK/r process after going strong for AT LEAST 60 hours, and thought I’d try CHKDSK/f (before I got out my Linux LiveCD and tried saving as much as I could).

CHKDSK/f fixed everything.

And it didn’t even take an hour.

So I’ve wasted so incredibly must time and effort, just because I typed /r instead of /f. Goddammit. Well… guess it’s good, but it’s annoying. I’ve bought a new 500GB external hard drive, and I’ll be sure to back up everything to that one from now on.

Anyway, thanks for all the helpful and well wishing comments! 🙂 See you guys Friday.

OK.

WHAT THE FUCK.

Just…. WHUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

1 PERCENT COMPLETE.

I’M SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS, ONE PERCENT. YOU GUYS. IT’S BEEN GOING FOR OVER 60 HOURS AND IT’S ONE PERCENT COMPLETE YOU GUYS.

WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS  I DAMN YOU!!!!!!

(Don’t worry, I’ll fix this. It’s no big deal. I’m ok. Worst case scenario, I’ll just format the hard drive. There’s not to much important on it… However, I’m not sure how I should cancel the CHKDSK in the first place. I’ll keep you updated.)

Hey guys, which you might know, this computer I’m using is well passed its prime. I’ve gotten Cyclic redundancy error on the D: drive before, and fixed it with CHKDSK, but now I’ve got it again, and I got it bad. It’s – like we say in computer lingo – fucked. However, I’m running CHKDSK again, hoping it’ll solve it, but it’s literary taking forever. And I mean forever. Like, I’m not expecting it to finish before time as we know it has ended, and the sun has exploded. Cause, you know, It’s been going for more than 8 hours already. 8h is damn close to infinity.

So, because of this, I’m trying to not use the computer at all right now and just let Checkdisk finish. And that’s why there’s no update today, and for this I’m sorry. Guess it’s my fault entirely too, apparently I shouldn’t have formatted that drive. I really think that these hard drives are living on borrowed time, so I’ll try to backup as fast as I can.

(And if someone says “get a Mac” I’m going to KILL MYSELF…) 😉

EDIT: Status update, +24 hours and counting and CHKDSK’s still going. I’m starting to think this was a bad idea.
