Reinstall order of events...additional help needed...
ZephyrZodiac:
I'm so sorry to hear that! I know what it's like when your hard drive crashes into oblivion. I was lucky when it happened to me, the second Hard drive was unaffected, and I had warning that things were going wrong so I was able to move stuff across in time. Even so, I lost all my emails and my favourites file with all my links - made it very difficult when I finally got everything rebuilt as I couldn't help people to find sims1 stuff any more (and that was my main responsiblity at sim Freaks then) and I had to rely on my memory. (My copy of SEOM was ok, but since my HD had a new ID, I couldn't get it to work without the hassle of trying to get a new unlock code and without the original e-mails....)
DrBeast:
Seems you have to give that hard drive a viking funeral then Ivy. If you get a second drive, try using a RAID connection from now on if your motherboard supports it. And, of course, better luck from now on! 8)
Ivy:
Yeah, I had no warning...one minute working fine, the next minute *poof* they were both gone... :-\ After much fighting and fussing with it, finally got the first one back up (limping indeed!) but the second one will not do anything at all.
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks it'll be all fixed again. Either a new hard drive or drive(s) will replace it all. Then I get the joy of reinstalling everything all over again :'( What a pain that is! I've already gotten a lot of what I want off this drive saved to CD now in the event that it crashes out again before I get the new installed.

ZephyrZodiac:
When you get your new drives, it's worth checking that your CPU and Power Unit are up to the job! That's what was actually wrong with my PC, the drives (which were nearly new) were fine, but I did have things shunted around so I could have two computers linked with a KVM switch.
witch:
I need to take heed and do some backing up as well, I had a motherboard die a couple of weeks ago and I'm still getting my system back to the way I like it. Mind you I load so much crap on I have to do a re-install about 4 times a year as it is.
I have re-installed the sims so many times now, I usually boot the game first after loading - to let the game create all it's folders, then exit and add my n'hoods & downloads in one hit.
