I BROKE MY COMPUTER!!!!!

needs a new HDD. the problem is, a tech person is going to come in, take my old HDD and give me a new one, which is bad because the majority of my data is pirated. i have three options:

-buy a new HDD and transfer my data to it (advantages= no FBI charges, i get 1 tb space [old HDD was 320])
-let him come in and pray he doesnt get the old HDD working (advantages= free HDD)
-buy a mac (advantages= no FBI charges, better graphics, memory, larger HDD, this problem wont ever happen again, no BSoD, i wont have to talk to a Hindu guy for over an hour, better visuals)

Wow, that sucks. I think it would take too much time and effort to transfer all of your files to a new HDD, just get a mac.

i could use “ROBOCOPY C:\Users\REA\Desktop\ F:” to move my files but i forgot what the path for an external device is. i also have a Linux tower right next to me but i dont know how to transfer from one internal HDD to another.

You could share the files, then delete them off of the original computer. That would take about a day or so, depending upon how many files you have. Or burn everything onto cds, then burn (literally) the cds to get rid of them. Or use a 128gb flash drive.

well, i just got good news and bad news:

good: the people who take the HDDs dont even care about piracy and wont report it
bad: i cant get the files off my HDD so i lost everything
bonus good: all i really wanted to back up was my anime and manga i have saved (30+ gb) which i can download from torrents (i made a list on a different forum with all the anime and manga i had).

Wow i don’t know about you but If i lost everything I would literally cry. I have approx. 80745 items in my Itunes. Money isn’t the problem (if it was i would have killed myself) but the hours i put tranferring all my CDS into one computer… the time i spent on limewire/napster, and the few hundred dollars i actually invested in itunes store… it sends a shiver down my spine just thinking about it.

im just glad the majority of the music i have is on my Zune so i can just dump them off of it when i get my new HDD. the only problem is all the creative things that ive made that i never uploaded (file type icons, photoshoped pictures ive made, etc) are gone. i can remake them, but its just like having old memories burn away…
i feel a little teary eyed now =’(

EDIT:

ALL FIXED! a guy came in and gave me a new one. now for reconstruction. im going to need keygens, cracks and torrents ASAP!

wait, REA I thought you were a computer?

And do NOT get a mac Pro. They suck.

She’s not. It’s just for fun. (rock)

Wat?

REA isn’t real. It’s…what’s the word? Similar to publicity stunt.

And your Ruining it!!!

No, it’s common knowledge that REA is a russian robot set to spy on us.

Shows what you know.

Lol@piratedsoftware.

If you’re used to Windows, then get Windows 7.

Way ahead of ya.
