May. 13th, 2005 02:39 pmOk, so it turns out that once i'm done eating, i'll have to go help that weird guy that couldn't stay with one language. So not looking foward to doing that...
And another kinda stupid thing... While i was gone, a customer brought a system for data recovery at work. Data recovery, especially from a partially defective harddrive that lost it's partition table is something that isn't exactly easy to do. And since the data is already lost, you can't do a backup before trying stuff in case you screw up. But on the good side, we usually make 100$+ from it.
But the boss gave the data recovery job to one of the interns. Who had no idea what program to use, or how to do it. So he ended up overwriting the beginning of the disk, where the (lost) partition table and FAT are, with a MS-Dos boot disk. So now the chances of being able to recover stuff went from 90% to about 10%.
Very bleh...
