Be carefull all those of you out there that dabble with the security settings of your Windows XP installations!! I nearly lost all my work! I had made the 'My Documents' folder on my pc 'Private' so that no other user could access it. It is also on another drive for when I reinstall Windows on drive C: my data will all be there waiting for me! .....until today! Reinstalled Windows, 'cos 6 months of installing shit had made it run like a dog! I sit back to relax, and click into the folder where my work is and 'ACCESS DENIED' ! ! ! ! ! ! ! "Fuck!!!" I thought.....nevermind, I'll logon as Administrator.....nothing, the same!! Now in work I'm used to using NT and I know that Adminstrators can take ownership of folders, but I didn't have the settings that the help files refered to!! I resorted to the Microsoft Knowledge base, and in fairness to them, I have always found the answers there to all my problems....and I have fixed my problem!! PHEWWWWWWWWW!!! "This issue may occur if the folder that you cannot open was created on an NTFS file system volume by using a previous installation of Windows, and then installing Windows XP Professional. This issue may occur although you enter the correct user name and password. This issue occurs because the security ID for the user has changed. Although you use the same user name and password, your security ID no longer matches the security ID of the owner of the folder that you cannot open." I had to untick "Use simple file sharing" from within the folder settings.....then it got me to the necessary security screens!! I shit a brick!!! Anyone else lost loads of data off a PC or come pretty damn close like this? |

My harddrives crashed a few times, my uncle was getting me shit IBM drives... I didn't lose anything of importance so in retrospect it was OK... I DID lose my songs I did in Fruityloops, goddammit! They sucked anyway. Lost some grade A porn, too. :-( Computers are such bastards. I've learned to be very paranoid using mine, I back everything up on disc and hold my breath everytime I boot the fucking thing up! I hate that. |

I've never had a single hard drive crash. I've only had to reinstall windows once on my old shitty computer. My new if working great with winxp, though I like win2000 more. |

i lost a weeks (6-hour-day) work of the first video-editing i ever made. it´s been the first half of the music-video of aphex´s "to cure a weakling child contour regard" some jerk came up and formatted all pc´s over the weekend in the room where i worked and all i ever did has been gone... i totally broke down and it took me some months before i started editing again (at home this time...) i still remembered all i did before and it was so much fun finally:) besides my homepc pissed me off(ten) i had several hard errors, there were times when my pc wouldnt start for hours demanding for system disk... new harddisks fulfill all dreams of a working thing... |

I never seem to have much by way of PC problems either. The PC I use now has been continuously powered up for 2.5 years (except for a 15 minute powercut) and the only thing I've had to do is replace the PSU fan 2 weeks ago. I often find that people who fiddle with their computers a lot seem to have the most problems ;) |
