[QUOTE="RandyDSok, post: 159721, member: 201"] After my parts for my work computer came in yesterday afternoon, I started a prep on the original Windows install ( the one before the original MB failed ) to be moved to the new hardware. It's a basic set of steps that just uninstalls any propitiatory installed drivers ( ie audio, chipsets and/or video drivers as an example ). After I rebooted, the drive I had connected that I used for all of my main backups ( including my recent ones after this last failure ) decided it needed scanned and that something was wrong with it. The scan is stuck at 70% and isn't continuing. Luckily I didn't reformat the original boot drive ahead of time, so I didn't loose any info from that but all of my other backups... including various ISO images of previous versions of Windows for various computers ( ie propitiatory copies for Dell, HP and the like ) as well as different versions of OEM Windows were/are stored on this drive. I'll try getting copies of what I can but it's not looking like I'll be able to recover everything... hopefully what I can't recover will be the less important files that I kept despite not needing them often.
