You might not see any UFC related art from me again, the hard drive with all UFC, covers, labels, templates & pictures died on me yesterday as I was finishing off Fuel 5.
Got some tips to take out the HD, will have to see how things turn out. Seems this is boring to ChoudderBoy, I guess if it isn't kings of leon, killers, kasabian or pearl jam we all need to get a life. Funny that he comes on here and thinks we make covers for his benifit and if some thing goes wrong, why should it bother him. Copied from shoutbox:- [20:57] ChoudderBoy: do me a favor [20:57] RobertM: Of course, you have to like solving problems,.. and helping others. [20:56] ChoudderBoy: get a life m8 [20:56] RobertM: Rescuing an HDD can be quite a thrilling experience. [20:54] RobertM: Actually, losing an HDD is anything but boring. [20:52] ChoudderBoy: boring or what [20:49] Dack: k, laters [20:48] RobertM: Anyway, try swapping the enclosure first, then come back if that doesn't fix the problem. [20:48] RobertM: The HDD control board is attached to the HDD, but it is not a hard job to remove/replace if you can find an identical match (same manufacturer and model number). [20:47] Dack: ahh I see said the blind man, thanks again [20:47] Morpheo : yes that would mean your HD is still fine [20:46] RobertM: The external conroller is in the external drive case, so not part of the actual HDD itself. [20:45] Dack: whats a external controller [20:44] Morpheo : I've had that problem a couple of times and it was always the external controller... fingers crossed Dack! :) Remember that external drives are just a regular HD in a cheap enclosure. The enclosures can be had for little money, and it is easy to swap one HD in an enclosure for another. [20;41] Dack: will have to try the swap tomorrow, see if i can sort another hdd [20:38] Dack: I like the sound of cheap, and I really like the sound of EASY [20:38] RobertM: My first suggestion would be to confirm if the external drive bay works. Try putting a know good HD into the enclosure and see if it reads. [20:37] RobertM: So it could be the platters (bad news), the HDD controller (maybe fixable) or the external drive controller (cheap and eaxy fix). [20:36] Dack: yes [20:36] RobertM: Is this an external HDD? [20:35] Dack: I would have no clue, how would I find out, tried in another laptop and it woudn't recognized it [20:34] RobertM: Are you sure it's the HD, and not some other part of the data chain? [20:33] Dack: thanks for the reply, I was trying to finish a cover but photoshop kept freezing. thats when I found out it was the HD [20:33] RobertM: If the board seems OK or you cannot find an identical match then your only option is probably to send it away for extraction. [20:32] RobertM: If the board is bad then you can try to find an IDENTICAL drive and swap the boards. I have done this before successfully. [20:31] RobertM: It could be that it is only the control board that is fried. Remove the board from the drive (usually just a few screws) and see if you can see any burnt traces or components. [20:29] RobertM: Depends on how "broken" it is. There are services that will attempt to extract as much as possible, but they are not cheap -- imagine >$100 for starters. [20:00] Dack: anyone know if there is anyway of getting stuff off of a HD that has broke, if not no more UFC covers as I will of lost all |

my laptop is ok, photoshop is on my internal hd, just my link to my style of HD OR like this one Hitachi 1TB USB 2.0 External Desktop Hard Drive is knackered. gunna try and take it apart and see if the drive its self is knackered or just the encloser part. every thing UFC, covers, labels, templates & pictures

I'm on my laptop (not pc) as I type, nothing wrong with it, tried external HD in another laptop, and it doesn't recognise it, until I pull out the usb and for a split second the drive appears in My Computer's [Hard Disc Drives]. Got to wait until I can get a dock station too try it in.

was gunna try it in an old pc, but can't find the mains plug.
found the mains plug, but never got to use it. I found out the 1 tb Hitachi is SATA, the pc one is IDE. |

just had a look at your link, seems complicated this one was the one I was looking at. it was about £13 when I looked, no way I would or could pay this for this, as they are cheaper other placed, just incase. how does your link one work, is it usb, seems very complicated. there's this one but i have no clue, unless its usb. |
Dack, not sure how feasible it is to rebuild your materials if this drive is completely gone, but I do have some custom/rare fonts you sent me. UFC, Autumn, and maybe 1 or 2 more. Best of luck with the recovery.

If i can't get what's on my hard drive the way I feel I would be gutted and I don't think I could make any more. I would have lost every thing I have made (ufc) up to ufc 154 but without event pic's. If you look at all the ufc covers i've done you will see I have had to cut out nearly every fighter, even ufc 152 it's more or less a poster but the fighters have been cut out, with my own background to match UFC 152'S, Bisping and Stann have the bodies of Lyoto and maynard, UFC 145 has GSP's arm I just would not be able to make the hi quality covers people are accustomed too.
|
I understand the heart break associated with that. For what it's worth, you still do have the JPGs of all the covers since they are here. I know it wouldn't be easy, but you could recut fighters from the covers stored here on customaniacs that you would need to use in the future.
For what it's worth, I'd love to see you continue making UFC covers. I hope you reconsider. |

with 22,000 positives I wouldn't sweat it.
Dack, what I'd recommend for back is putting all of your stuff on DVD-Rs as well. They hold 4.7 gigs which is a lot. That way if your HD ever does crash, you'll have the DVDs available to restore what you had when you made them. |

yeah valid points bawllin29 it's just the lass, that's got me looking at that stuff. i remember halloween just found a lot of the posters (of fighters) on another drive, and I should have a disc with the cut outs some. remembered after finding fighter posters, it just a case of finding the disc (or discs). I just got a new 16gb usb drive as well. oh woe is me:76
|
I'm really glad to hear that Dack. I was really bummed out when I read that you might be throwing in the towel.
I found some good cutoffs (.png files with transparent backgrounds). I'm not sure if you've seen these: http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o...010/KenFlo.png Jon Fitch picture by Blacksburg2010 - Photobucket Here's the album that has about 20 of them, tons of baseball/football players so you have to sift through: Pictures by Blacksburg2010 - Photobucket |

I remember Blacksburg2010, probably the first hi res pic's I used for covers, there was another guy Friartown (same type of deal as Blacksburg2010). The towel still could be thrown, it all depends
|
WOW is all I can say about Friartown's collection. I just added around 100 pics to my materials. Thank you very much for that. I'm going to redo some of my crappy early UFNs. It took me too long to realize that I'm not very creative, but I can copy ideas pretty well. I need to redo a lot of them and these new pics will help out a ton. Thanks.

made a template (best I could)

I can pick up where Dack left off on the Fuel TV, Fox, and FX events, but I won't be doing labels and I won't be doing PPV events. I plan on doing UFN 15-25, then redoing a few of my earlier UFNs, then doing WEC 4-53, all Bellators, and Strikeforce covers that Dack didn't do. I will continue with the free TV UFCs as well when possible. This will take me a very long time to do...

my other 1tb hard drive just died on me, but i unpluged it from the multi usb and plugged it straight into the laptop and whew it recognised it and started to work, the hitachi didn't but there were times it recognised it so that gadget may be the solution, fingers crossed.
