=VG= SemlerPDX Posted July 17, 2018 at 06:19 PM Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 at 06:19 PM Yea, that's how that happens. Impatience is paid back in data loss. Today you learned that an OS installation is specific to a motherboard, and any vast changes while the OS drive is removed from that motherboard will null and void the OS install. Good tip, if one can afford it, when upgrading PC's, keep the old hard drive separate and buy a new one for the new PC -- then install the old HDD into the new system as a secondary drive. Over time, once you pull all your data off the old drive, you can then re-format it for more space (deleting the WinOS files) with no data loss. Wish I could have told you that last week... I feel for ya, bro! It happened to me once way back when I deleted the MBR from my data drive by accidentally adding it to the RAID array - when I took it back out realizing what I did, none of the data was accessible due to the master boot record being wiped. All the data was still there, that was the most frustrating part. *On that note, there are tools to recover data from a formatted drive, but they can get expensive (or free but very risky or shady) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=VG= 0100011000101 Posted July 18, 2018 at 03:08 PM Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 at 03:08 PM I know that too well ^^ ... Since I process several TB of data in the month I have a lot to do with hard drives, and unfortunately I've already killed many. the most important thing about dealing with defective / deleted / formatted hard disks is always: switch off the computer immediately and do not shut down. The best way is remove the hard drive and think carefully what to do next. and in no case make anything that triggers a write operation. if there is no harwaredefct you can restore the data in 95% of the cases. except many raid systems. curse and blessing at the same time.^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
