Tachikoma: fix my HD T_T

Few days ago, suddenly my partitions were gone on my 1TB Samsung HD103UJ (which I bought for my bday 6months ago)
It will boot up but it’s not accessible anymore, my system now recognizes it as a 8gb drive.
I only used it for storage, but what I lost exactly? I have no idea…
I do know I had a partition of 500gb worth of asian DVD’s, but titles? I couldn’t name them.
the other 350gb were anime shows, j-drama shows, american tv-shows and stuff I don’t remember now.

I tried anything, placed it in my other rig – no go
I tried to format it – no go
even Tachikoma couldn’t fix it…

then I tried several data recovery utilities, the only thing I could salvage from the drive were (don’t laugh) a few JAV-movies XD

In total I think I lost around 850gb of data. But for some reason I don’t feel too sad about it. (maybe because I got other things on my mind?)
Once I said: I’d rather buy 2x500gb drives instead of 1 larger drive, cos if it dies, the loss will be less painful.
That’s so true, my main rig has/had 2x500gb+1x1TB.  The other 2 drives have been working flawlessly for 2-3 years now.

Oh, don’t you just love Tachikoma? ^_^
I’m a huge GITS fanatic, it’s definitely my alltime favorite anime. (not to mention, Motoko is like the only female character I worship hehe)

Update: I got my HD back from RMA, well not the drive that went bad ofcourse, I got a brand new one. Now to find time to set it up… Not sure if I will put an OS on it this time.
