Something strange

Postby Gunny04 » Sat Oct 14, 2006 7:16 am

Computers work in strange ways, I fried my old one, it had two HDDs in it, a 160 (OS drive) and a 120 (FS and storage drive) Now I fired up the drives in my computer, the 160 is exactly as I left it the last time it formatted before the comp refused to post.... not so strange, should happen..... but my 120 gig? Well I accidently put windows on it and cancelled it, and it still has all 50 gigs of my FS stuff on it!...... I am very happy..... I have my Addons back! YAY!

Cheers, Gunny
