  1. All depends on the system they use to format/partition the hard drive and encription of the gamesaves.

    But atleast you have an easy connection to start with lol

    It's supposed to be built on linux anyway no? (Stated - I think - by Sony along with there vicarious remarks about supporting homebrew)

  2. I go Wiiiiiiii

    I go Wiiiiii

    Wiii in the presence of....

    Sorry old 80's tune there :oops:

    Edit besides what is the point in 360 since they anounced Vista will be Live capable and there will be simultaneous PC/360 releases starting with Halo 3

  3. I think thats just for Mechanical failures... since it seems this is just a few clusters it's probably going to be magnitised discs... or I could be wrong but wouldn't a drive head screw up generally knock out a whole drive platter?

    Oh and the freezing thing is good for batteries :)

  4. What about USB soundcard/Speaker... I've never used one though myself but maybe you'd get better sound quality out of it.

    Mount it in a picture fram and use a picture screen saver for when it's not inuse.

    Man I need to remote up an entire house lol

  5. my favorite informational site: www.crackspider.net the only problem is that its spyware bonanza.

    Arn't they all thus if you like and use a program... BUY it... that way the creator will add more too it or make more! and if you cannot afford then buy it when you can... oh how poor we (well I am) lol well probably rich when you compare how much this lot is probably costing the Hak.5 crew

  6. I think regenerator only works on internal drives (aka last time I used it, it was internal only via boot disk as I recall - been a while)

    If I were you though I'd get a secondary system (something old ish) or remove your good drives from your PC when you try this stuff and plug the drive in internally

    1) Because you don't know if the USB circuit is having a problem (or your drivers for such (unless your bios recognises USB to boot from)

    2) The drive may have a power problem and well you want to minimise any loss here.

  7. Probably best if you clone the drive sector for sector (I think Drive image will do that) then you have a copy you can play with - not sure how that will effect your data resoration of corrupt sectors with some programs though.

    Anyhoo don't just throw the drive when your done try this:

    http://www.dposoft.net/ - HDD Regenerator

    It uses the drive heads and basicly trys to remove the magneticly polarised cluster.

    Also you can just resize the partitions on the drive to leave the damaged sectors unused (that got me 2 more happy years use out of a drive once - dang IBM drives - Edit that and resoldering the power connector :roll: )
