RIP my old gif folder :(

[Swish]

My laptop died last week, it selfishly destroyed 1000s of gifs as it waved and flipped the bird.

I'm not coping well pals, there were some real gems in there...gifs that were as good as a best friend, who could cheer me up when I was feeling down. Some that I was sitting on for when Lron admitted he liked men, or when some true drama hit RnF.

Some cat gifs that were too good to post to Reddit, and some "play on red" gifs that would have shifted the balance of the blue/red server pop.

I'm trying to be positive though, I'm thankful I managed to keep the majority of gifs I post on these forums uploaded to imgur.com

Before I make a new folder, start over and look ahead... I look back at some of the better recent ones that weren't lost forever (in no particular order) ...

Unless the hard drive itself physically failed you can probably still get all your data off it. Without knowing the details of your laptop and how it failed I can't tell you what to do, but if you take it to a competent computer person (ie. not the Geek Squad) they should be able to extract your gifs, and anything else you had on it.

[DeruIsLove]

Swish, you're good peeps. If this actually caused you an amount of suffering then you have my condolences.

[LulzSect]

Naez will totally save your home made nudes for you. Free of charge.

SMH, some of you need some anger management meds ;)

I particularly like that Tiggles forgets I ran my cleric to Permafrost to rez him and a couple of pals, and turned down a 1k donation for the trouble. Then said he'd help me with Ragefire for my cleric epic and blew me off. Granted this was a couple of years ago now.

Thanks Tiggles, stay fresh pal.

I'll rebuild, and keep it backed up this time. Lesson learnt ;)

That's when I thought you where my old pal Swishahouse not some random name thief.

[Velerin]

Damn that sucks. I mourn the loss of those gifs. You got some great ones.

Swish was my name on live...and you thought Swishahouse was both still playing AND played a cleric? lol.

Some pal you were to him.

I know this is R&F and we're not supposed to be helpful in here I believe, but making a few assumptions this is likely to get your data from the failed laptop's hard drive on the cheap:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182221

This assumes:
1) $15 is a reasonable investment (risk vs reward) to retrieve data from the old disk
2) Your laptop was built some time after 2004, where SATA was essentially standard
3) Your laptop has a 2.5" SATA hard drive in it
4) You're able to remove it yourself (you'll probably also need a Philips double zero screwdriver, recommend hardened steel tip; just the tip, etc)
5) You can figure out which way the plug for a USB cable inserts into your computer.

Good luck!

To add to this, try using gddrescue.

You will rebuild. Stronger, faster, better.
