Hi folks,
I'm posting this on the message board & sending it to all my forum messengers so people who are waiting for tracks from me will stop thinking bad things about me. ...I hope.
The bad news:
My PC suddenly decided that both hard drives 350gig & 500gig (backup) needed reformatting and wouldn't read from either of them.
I tried putting them into an external case but neither my laptop nor my friends computer would read them either. so formatting was the only option and lost I lost nearly all my midi files & other stuff..not to mention half completed work files etc...and guess what...no other real backup. Luckily I use minidisc for my gigs so i was safe enough there.
Now the good news:
I've run recovery progs (partly successfully) and got stuff from old cd/dvd's and from friends & I have recovered most of the midifiles ( I think) but I have still lost all my records, MP3's, Wav's Doc's, lists etc which i can't retrieve.
So if you were waiting for me to send you a file...please contact me again giving me a list of what it/they were and I will get them to you if i still have them although it may take a bit of time.
As you can imagine when you are using tracks for recording and performing their loss is devastating and i thinks it will take months to get back to where I was before this happened, but onward & up wards.
So if you are waiting for a file from me please do contact me I hate letting people down if I can avoid it.
