I am too dizzy GKR I don't remember the English grammar lost is the verb not losted anyway GKR...............

What happened:
I decided to upgrade my previous system.
But the mainboard (Gigabyte) has only one IDE connector and 6 SATA.
I had an IDE 80GB (backup disk) and a 160GB SATA (the main disk).
Well I setup the new AMD quad core but during the overclocking process I was playing with the old fashion PC.

I have no idea I formatted the IDE disk without doing backup to DVDRW!!!!
When I finished the o/c process I converted the SATA to RAID.
The SATA disk had the source code of OcBible, Guidemania and much of my engineering work.
Usually I backup the critical files every 2-3 days to DVDRW but the last week I was very depressed; working like mad....
When I understood WTF I done I tried to recover my data with a friend's assistance (he is computer man professional) but we did not recover much files....
I went from home but I was a drunk (a bit).
Driving fast I crashed the Mercedes.
The Police came there they understood that I was drunk ---> I paid them to avoid troubles with law.
I also paid some of the customers, I bought new car......
After this disaster I bought also 6 SATA II disks (2 are RAID on Gigabyte's connector, 4 are RAID on nVidia's) and 2 USB external disks.
New PSU Hiper 880 Watts and I am waiting a top quality UPS....
I CANNOT THINK HOW I CAN START AGAIN WRITE SOME OF THE PARTS OF THE SOURCE CODE.....

So simple guys I must go offline for a couple of months........
Be careful please life is very dangerous sometimes.....

I am very sorry to learn of your recent troubles. tis bitter and a fearful thing to lose so much so fast. I have known such losses. We recover, not as we would wish we could...but we recover. I wish you grace in your recovery. I hope the damage is not as extensive as it now appears to be....

Think, some where you may have something that will help you now. Perhaps left with a friend to work on or on a drive you no longer use...an older version set aside..?

In any case this is a real loss to many. I hope your time away will be shorter than it now seems it will. Best wishes.

What a terrifically bad day, I'm sorry that fate vomited on you so forcefully! Try not to beat yourself up any more about this, you're way too black and blue already!

Here's to hoping that things will start going your way....and there is no need to dwell on things that are done. Look ahead and keep going.

I too accidentally formated my backup drive once but I got back 90% of the data.
How?
OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional
It has recovery of formated data. Worked really well for me.
Took about an hour and a half to do it.

I guess there's only one thing to say about these kind of things.

"***** happens".

See you on the flipside, gl

OK boss as you wish but you realize that I am too sad/confused/impatient, damn I still haven't found what I am looking for.....

I mean that I don't have family (children)....

Let's explain WTF is going on with me:
I was a young student at University when I bought a CD by U2.
Its title is "The Joshua tree".
The third song is With or without you which I have listen much times but I did not feel its depth.
Folks let me post its lyrics.....

See the stone set in your eyes
see the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you...
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
on a bed of nails she makes me wait
and I wait..... without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
you give it all but I want more
and I am waiting you

With or without you
with or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
and you give yourself away
and you give
and you give
and you give yourself away

My hands are tied
my body bruised she's got me with
nothing left to win
and nothing else to lose

With or without you
with or without you
I can't live
with or without you

Gentlemen (any AOA ladies???? I think no; we are a crowd of males) obviously you understand that I am fall in love with someone....
Her name is Maria (Mary in English) she is 28 years old (I am almost 36).
Maria is seeking for a better work.
I did not know her before....
Her brother Bill met my father first (OK it is too hard to explain it more) & discussed with him her problems...
Later my old man (geros in Greek --> g is pronounced like y in word yard) saw Maria & said to her "John may help you to find a better job"....
Then Bill called me at mobile & asked to help his sister....
Cos I am a very sensitive human (I love to help people; I think that I have proved it helping lots of member in many o/c forums; don't care for opinios about me at some ******* Greek forums which I AM PROUDLY AUTOBANNED) I replied to Maria's brother "give to her my mobile number to call me to discuss if I can help"...
I was away from home so at the sunset of 7 of August came back to village to enquire my father what's up...
Geros said to me "Hey behave like a real gentleman cos Maria is a very pretty girl don't go to f_ck her" LOL...
I replied to geros "Man stop talking bull**** if I want to XXX I know many bitches around this world. Don't forget that I had relations with beautiful girls in the past thus I don't care if Maria is a pretty woman"....
The next day (8 of August Friday was) Bill called me at mobile & we decided to have a dinner on 9 of August here in village with his sister.
I woke up on Saturday morning but I did not go for any work I just drunk coffee & played Deck to PC & perform some engineering computations.
Moreover I spent the time in front of PC tweaking the cardgames (mainly Jack & Preference).
Well Maria came here with her brother & his mother (OK I was impatient to see her if she is pretty).....
When I saw her I had complex!!!
She is 165cm (or 5.41 feet), 53Kg (117 pounds) blonde & green eyes....
Her face shape and look seems Nautica Thorn (XXX babe Google it for photos)...
As about me I am 5.97 feet but I am fat like hippo (F_CK this life)......
Yeah she is a very sweet girl like Virgin Mary!!!
After dinner I pleased her to go for a walk.
Not away from home to the forest but somewhere alone under moonlight (LEET remember the song "Moonlight drive" by Doors).
WOW a romantic drive!!!!!!!!!
The others left at home & were chatting.

Dialogue:
- Maria I wish to help you but it is not easy. My father knows some guys & we can contact to them when a competition will arise for your interests, but you must realize that it is not 100% guarantee...
- OK Yiannis (my name in Greek) don't worry. Thank you very much again for any effort.
- The main problem with you is that you don't have a good degree like me. The arena outside is very hard cos many people have good degrees but they don't find jobs easily.
- What's your occupation??
- I studied Electrical Engineering at University of Patras (folks it is a town 220Km away from Athens) & specialized to Telecommunications mainly. In addition I have a background to electrical machines & electronics.
- Interesting Yiannis I wish to be a Mechanical Engineer but I failed for first time so I did not try to take exams again.
- Wrong!! You must try always again & again!! Beside of them Electrical Engineers find works easily & gain more money than Mechanical. I know this since I work almost for 7 years.
- This means that you are a well paid engineer???
- It depends on what do you mean Maria. For example some people pass fine gaining 1000-1500 Euros per month or other feel poor gaining 100000 per year.
- I agree with you.

Then I looked her green eyes (LOL I was feeling like a baby!!!!!!!!!!)

- Maria I am trying to recover my missed self confidence. This means much for me & of course I want to be a good paid engineer as in the past. I had some troubles. But it is a bitten story. I don't want to extend this issue now.
- Hope to succeed Yiannis!!! I want this from my soul!!! Believe me!!!!

WTF she means I thought........
Man is the time to attack to her????
Go on the love is next to you!!

- Maria would you like to work for me if you don't have any other choices??? You must not afraid me!!!
- I wish to do this but I don't know if I can help you much. I don't have any background of your activities (and she hanged her head)...

Damn I thought again I made I **** up...
But I must tell to her my feelings!!!!

- Maria I am also seeking for a woman who can support me to be strong again. Would you like to be my partner???

The babe did not reply & look me for some seconds!!!!
But she smiled kindly (damn she has honey lips also!!!!!)

- Yiannis I don't have any relation at this time of speaking but your purpose suprised me so I cannot answer now..
- Maria you are a very sweet girl so I wish to be your husband!

LOL SoF (XtremeSystems) & Gorki (ABIT-USA) told me that "Sean you are crazy!!"
dsio LOL again you are very right!
Remember you said me someday at MSN "Hello insane man!!!"

After this I took her & we came back to home...
I have met her 2 times just for a coffee.
Of course we have discussed for her future (I promised to help Maria) but if I succeed very soon I will ask her to start have a serious relation.
Now I am not ready as you read above.
Guys I don't want to touch her, believe me I behave like an immature boy....
Maria understood my feelings & said to me "You are a very romantic man but you must be slim again!!" LOL......
Buddies during one week my weight from 232 pounds ---> 224!!
That's why I don't eat much & I exercise myself for a couple of minutes every day LEET!!
But I am smoking more (10-12 cigarettes every day).
I don't sleep much......

Percy Sledge sang
When a man loves a woman,
can't keep his mind on nothin' else,
he'd change the world for the good thing he's found.

Is Maria my destiny??????? (Paul Anka)
I have no idea..........
Time will tell (Bob Marley).......

Folks I must stop here.
I will surf other day only to continue the discussion.....
I cannot program anymore in C# for OcBible & cardgames my brain does not work...
Of course I don't post to other o/c forums around the world.

_dangtx_ (PcPer) your Greek brother is hurt inside
