How to Wipe Your Hard Drive: a Geek Squad 2 Minute Miracle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewisIDG-K-E

 

This really is dragging along - I think I know how a opiate user feels when they've not had a fix !

Andrea spoke to the IT Company today and they have just 20 minutes to go before they have pulled all the data that was left off my hard drive and then its a case of putting it all back on my hard drive. Apparently it's the biggest recovery job they have ever done with over 1 Million images saved

Anyway the good news is I should get my baby back tomorrow - Just in time for my five days off

 

Good news Andy.

Out of interest would you mind keeping us informed of roughly what precentage of data was recovered (and what lost) and how much the recovery cost?

 

Will do, I think the initial cost was expected to be around £80 - I suspect this may have gone up a bit. Not sure I'll know how much was lost for ever by transferring that one image on to the HD to see if it still worked

 

Delayed to Monday now - I'm beginning to think they are taking the obvious !

 

Nah this is how you really bugger up a hard drive:

 

Not that I need to worry but I did wonder if they have a legal obligation to check each image just in case

 

Silly thing...that is why they ask you TWICE.

I'll be quite honest with you, Drew, when this is all over for you, I will be laughing quite heartily at your indescrection. But not for too long...maybe.

 

Holy Shit....I can go and collect my hard drive !​

​

Fingers crossed.

 

OK Hard Drive now at home with a LOT of images all in one folder called 'jpg'. They are all random though and don't appear to be in any order - any ideas on how I can get them into some sort of order?

 

I've tried that and it seems to be sorting them in order by the first six digits but the last four digits seem to be random. I know from when the images were taken thos numbers were in numerical order so I assume that would apply to date taken.

I'm assuming selecting 'date taken' works on the time taken as well? Or is it just the date which would explain the last four digits being random rather than in order?

 

What's the difference between 'Date Created' and 'Date Taken' ?

 

Hello Andy

date taken (as It says)
date created (date when you created on your PC)

 

BRB !
