Progress report:

- New harddrive installed
- Faulty harddrive is being mounted as a 2nd drive for data retrieval to the new drive
- OS and Services are currently being installed

I will keep you posted as things develop

A few avatars is all that appears to have been lost from aw.net, and a few recent os4depot.net uploads

Nah, just leave them out and reset him to the status of "resident lamer".....

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

34 hours!?  If the system was backed up to tape it should have been able to recover in a fraction of that time with less manual work.  Perhaps someone needs to do some disaster recovery planning.

@adolescent

It would have been done in 4 hours if support had been quicker to replace the harddrive

Glad to see you're back online.  I know how traumatic it is for something like this to happen. Sorry for the beating you took over on ANN but I did try to help inject some type of maturity into the conversation.  Didn't help, but then again, sometimes the lack of maturity (and intelligence) shown by several in this community really, really disappoints me.  

Maybe I'm just getting old, or at least I'm from one of the last generations that was taught to respect other people and not kick them while they're down.

Welcome back.

Erm, has it just gone down again ... or is that just me?

I went there at about 4pm, and all was well apart from not remembering what posts I'd viewed (not unusual).
