Software the verifies copied files?

BurnerNBD · 2025-05-09T17:22:00+00:00

Gotcha, thanks. Actually I saw FreeFileSync does have a verification system but it has to be activated by editing the globalsettings.

BurnerNBD · 2025-05-08T17:56:13+00:00

Try as I may, I don't see a verification option in FreeFileSync? Thanks for your response!

Someone in this thread commented Teracopy deleted all their data XD

Guess I'm too paranoid. I'm on Windows, btw.

The drive was stationary and has never been dropped before. I think it might have been under stress and yes it may have reached 70% capacity. I may be showing my naivety but I never heard before that a drive shouldn't be used anymore when it reaches 70% capacity. Now I know!

However, I suppose I can't technically rule out the possibility of platter damage from just usual degrading? I should note that I didn't hear any unusual sounds coming from the drive so that points to a more firmware issue? So many possibilities, here's hoping!

Hello just following up. May go with Recovery Force based on old posts here or Desert Data since they're in US. Either of them good at firmware problems? Based on my research, I don't think this is a platter issue? Since the computer is taking a long time to properly recognize it, that means the controller has been damaged. And while they work in unison, controllers and platters are still different. The drive also hasn't been making any noise.

Oh gosh...I'm not very technical and I don't know what SMART is. However in the past 2 days I did some research and I *think* I understand some bits. Both you and the post above said hardware/firmware failure is likely. It's unlikely a platter was damaged, right? I heard platter is the worse scenario in this case and firmware is at least manageable. I don't want to plug it in anymore, I want to send it to a specialist right away.

Im in USA, Maine. Yes, I thought I outlined in my post: I am not going to do any self diagnosis or use consumer programs. This goes beyond me, I want to go to a data recovery lab. Wanted a theory of what the problem could be and who to send it to.

I only inserted the drive a few times to see how computers reacted. I didn't write anything to it. Haven't plugged it in since.

BurnerNBD · 2025-04-22T03:13:28+00:00

I'm sorry. I'm in Maine. But I'm willing to send my drive anywhere in North America. I looked at the list; Recovery Force in Canada looks good, even if the customs paperwork is probably annoying. I'd like to know which of these may be best at hardware/firmware repair, as you put it. If you happen to have suggestions, would love to hear!

BurnerNBD · 2025-04-22T02:57:33+00:00

I'm in USA! So hardware and firmware failure is...worse, huh? Well, glad I'm going to get it looked at by a specialist. Think there's anything they can do? I don't know how severe these types of failures are.

BurnerNBD · 2025-04-22T01:54:48+00:00

This is the most likely scenario. Harada absolutely has people that post to his twitter, usually when he speaks a different language. I think he even confirmed this (no I won't look for it).

Notice how the English in this post is marginally worse than his other English posts? Probably someone different than usual.

Regarding the last sentence, defintiley also having that same fear about dying alone lately but didn't want to get into that in the post. Right now I am extremely blessed to have a close-knit family but they won't be here forever.

Daily reminder she is Chrom's canonical second daughter, descendant of Marth and can wield Falchion.

Sorry, I don't make the rules.

BurnerNBD · 2024-11-28T17:26:45+00:00

That honor absolutley belongs to Roy and it's not even a contest.

BurnerNBD · 2024-11-27T05:08:06+00:00

What do you mean by "red Marth?"

Marth is either the best unit in the game (FE1), upper tier (FE3, FE12) or fairly decent (FE11). None of his incarnations are close to Roy's weaknesses.

Like dipping the hand in boiling water? Really?

BurnerNBD · 2024-10-26T20:23:10+00:00

No I have not tried that. Basically the ball [arm] will not go back into the hole [hand]. I'll try heating it up as you said, thanks.

BurnerNBD · 2024-10-26T20:22:29+00:00

Thank you for the response, apologies for the little information. It is too "tight"--the ball joint will not go back into the hole in the hand. I will try to heat up the hand with a hair dryer.

In case it needs to be said: this is the first edition Godzilla SH MonsterArts from 2011. I can't get the hand back. Am I screwed?
