Hope for the best, prepare for the worst

[nekokoban]

Okay, uh. SO.

Some of you know, because I have cried a little at you, but--last weekend, my external drive took a fall and is now ... borked! As in ELECTRICAL ERROR MY COMPUTER NO LONGER RECOGNIZES IT. AND THAT IS. S-several years worth of. Stuff. And rafr. And. And.

SOME of it I still have saved--on this computer, on my old machine (though I can only keep it on for ~fifteen minutes at a time), plus a secondary external, BUT. But. There are a few things I don't have backed up anywhere, s-so!

If anyone can get me these files, I will be forever grateful/do favors/would you like my firstborn:

- Pandora Hearts (raw) chapters 1-9
- 07-Ghost (raw) chapters ... s-seven through current (45) <--THIS IS THE BIG ONE SOB
- the Avenue Q soundtrack
- tactics raws (ANY AND ALL)


Th-the rest are. Personal things that I really hope can be salvaged, even if nothing else is.

uwah.

Uwahhhhhhhh ;o;

The last link was the one I tried first, but it looks like the batch links are both dead. :x S-so I have to do the slow painful process of EACH CHAPTER INDIVIDUALLY b-but sob, I will do that. THANK YOU.

I'm sure by the time I get back to my own computer you'll have most of this stuff, but I have a bunch of 07-Ghost raws and the Avenue Q soundtrack if you still need it then. Hope you can get stuff back!

[nekokoban]

I might still have to take you up on that! Dero linked me to a bunch of them, but some of the links are outdated and no longer working, a-at which point I may have to harass you, yes. :x

I really appreciate it♥♥

OKAY so I apparently...deleted my 07-Ghost raws orz, I might still have them on my external, but I don't get THAT until this weekend *facepalm* Sorry!

I've got the Ave. Q soundtrack uploading - gimmie 15 minutes and I'll have the link up.

Pandora Hearts (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=dea41887f1967a580c814df2efeadc500ce7bcdcce023d345be6ba49b5870170) Chapters 1-8 raw! For some reason, I can't find Chapter 9, so I couldn't upload that, I'm sorry! Still, I hope this helps! Good luck with your computer, and I hope you can get a lot of things back. ♥

lksdjroesjlr ♥♥♥♥ THANK YOU s-sob. I will download them when I am--no longer at work, but that helps a lot, omg. ♥

The external drive is in the shop right now, but when I dropped by earlier I got a very solemn face and a "we're not sure, it looks pretty bad" s-so. SOB I WILL KNOW IN ABOUT A WEEK. ;o;

Um, I think I've got a bunch of tactics raws on my other computer, I can upload whatever I've got to savefile later tonight! (Presuming of course no one else comes to the rescue before then)

[nekokoban]

IF YOU DO I WILL BE SO HAPPY. ;;b I, I was in the process of redoing some icons for my RP and while THOSE are lost, a-at least I could. Remake the bases, perhaps. :x

THANK YOU FOR THE OFFER♥

If you need someone else to harass over 07-Ghost raws, poke me when I get on IRC.

[nekokoban]

THANK YOU, SIR. :(b I suspect some of the files may be outdated from the links Dero gave me, BUT I WILL SEE IF ANY ARE MISSING.

If you have a techie friend who can help you recover those files, it's probably do-able. Same thing happened to me, and my brother managed to salvage my stuff. Not 100%, but enough to make me come down from the roof.

[nekokoban]

It's actually in the shop right now--they have a fairly decent reputation and were recced by the UBookstore, s-so. I went by earlier today (I dropped the drive off on Sunday) and he was fairly neutral about it, but told me I could call on Monday again and see how progress is going. .____.b M-mostly I'm worried because I have some personal files/information on that harddrive (contact info, photos of my friends and family, etc.) that I would--really really hate to lose! Plus a metric ton of anime, though that at least I have mostly on my other external. We'll have to see. ;o;

[uminohikari.livejournal.com]

I would help, but...I've never had any of those on my computer orz :(

[nekokoban]

It's okay. b>: A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE AWESOME AND HELPFUL a-and I've almost gotten all the downloads finished. ;o;b

Ouch, that sucks. I keep hearing about this stuff happening and I still only backup my main drives every not-so-often. I'm probably lucky that my drives have lasted years without problems.

Most of my data tends to get phased out and forgotten anyways, except for the occasional Tenkuu no Escaflowne .rm files I still watch when I'm bored. And the other stuff that SHOULD be easy to find but is impossible to find! ("Tenchi Muyo Lighthawk Wings" avi clip, old KH OSTs, etc.)

Speaking of that, I've never heard of any of those series. Aside from the *cough* squeenixy name, Pandora Hearts sounds like a dark fantasy romance along the lines of Weiss-Kreuz-Ouran-xxxHolic. Pretty-boy high schoolers with black wings, pentagrams, and roses as red as their eyes. Just a guess. :O

Ah, forgot. Just this week, someone in school had a WD Passport external drive fail. Scary just thinking about it! There is no coincidence, only hitsuzen.

Sorry about your drive breaking... *hugs nekokoban*

[nekokoban]

Y-yeah, I'm still really hoping the shop will be able to recover some of my data--really mostly I want my personal info back, and I'm looking into online backups as well as the drive backups that I have been making.

Funnily enough, Pandora Hearts runs in G-Fantasy, which is part of the Square-Enix empire. XD It's actually nothing really like that at all, though--it's about a young nobleman who ends up getting involved with the organization of Pandora, memory loss, political intrigue, etc. |D There's not much in the way of wings or pentagrams, and the only roses that showed up were black.
