My lost file Experience...
Well I tried to get some answers to the crazy mess my files ended up in, but have received no respond..So here is my final word..
After using recuva to retrieve my files, I discovered some disc's would come back but with tracks missing, some would come back with all the tracks or only one track.
My thought is kinda like throwing out a handful of salt, then trying to pick up all the grains and bring them back..haha...fat chance!!!
Now our good Admin posted: Critical : to be able to recover lost files do not delete more, import anything to hard drive.... well oops, that could of been my fault because I went right away and downloaded the next version of hoster..
Anyway things are as they are...So then I use my hoster and pull what files I found up by "add songs to data base".
Some of the found discs were brought up...others hoster ignored...In testing a few of the files now in hoster I found songs with no music, or no words, or just plan coming up as Error.
I had to end up checking every single file to see if it was going to work or not.
What a pain!!!
After seeing the weird stuff going on, and since I didn't get an answer on some questions I had asked, I went back into where I had saved my funky retrieved files and deleted all the ones that hoster would not recognize.. I figured it probably knew more than I did, and I'd rather use the discs again then to have to check each and every one of those songs also...
So after retrieving over 1000 files, I ended up with about 600 that were keepers..
Now I'm worring about figuring out what tracks I have to reload because they were either never retrieved or messed up. I thought I'd have to go through each disc, right down the tracks I need to replace.etc etc..But DON'T BOTHER WITH THAT!!! Hoster takes care of it for you...
I was so happy to find if say disc 3 came back with maybe only three tracks, when I but disc three back into my lap top, hoster see's it as disc 3 and shows me what files I already have...WOW NOW THAT WAS GREAT!!!
So hang in there, brush out the bugs, we're on a roll now!!!! And:
BACK UP !!!!! AAAAAAH!!!
