Been a while

Post by Blood »

I play under Blood or Sgt_Enema. I had to reformat my hard drive after Windows 10 was forced upon my computer. I came home and heard this hideous screeching noise and it was my computer. I just recently was able to get DC working again and am in the process of sending info to Trench. Good to be back.

Perfect timing! We were just talking the other day about how "What this server really needs is a good enema!"
;)
Your info is now updated, and you should find you're able to connect successfully again. Let us know if you still have any issue connecting.

If the hard drive is making a physical noise, I would be quite suspicious that you have a mechanical failure in the making, and that it will only be a matter of time until greater failure. If its possible, while your data is still readable, I would clone that drive over to a new different hard drive. And just set the "screecher" drive aside, as a fail safe backup should you ever need to recover from it again, if its still readable at that point.
