To all my PBW games - Greybeard

Greybeard · #1 February 24th, 2003, 04:10 PM

Attention: I royally messed up my computer on Saturday. Can't even access the hard drive now after doing an MS-DOS scandisk while upgrading from Win 95 to Win 98SE. I have our company's computer guru helping me, but won't have a computer for SEIV until Wednesday or Thursday at the earliest.

Can my games be put on Last player upload until Thursday? If the problem is worse than expected, I will try to find substitutes or let replacement players take over. I'm currently in Smalluniverse, Networks, Homecoming, Capitals, Furball 4, and Newbie Galactic Combat (I think that's all).

Game hosts can contact me at work, [email protected], if you need to discuss anything.

Thanks...Greybeard

Networks is set to ALPU now. I'll watch this thread for further developments.

Update: My data is still on the hard drive. My friend is rescuing everything, and I should be back on line either Friday night or Saturday. Thanks for your patience...Greybeard

Sorry about your computer.
I'll hold the turn until the weekend in NGC2. At sunday Central European Time 12.00 (Lunch time) I'll run the run.
If you haven't uploaded by then you'll propably only miss one turn anyway.

Lession to be learned here.

If you only have one drive... Make sure you partition it.

ANd put all your data on the none OS Partition.

That way you only have to reformat and install the os on the os partiton and everything else is on the other part of the partition.
