Show us your.......newbie progress!

[Nigelnaturist]

I am trying to recover some data (bike data is ok though), got the original images on dvd and other drives but not the work I have done, I have just got another 1TB drive to back it up just not got to it what with strava, tried alsorts so far, just haven't been able to extract the raw data from the drive yet, you scan showed every sector as bad, unless something wrong with the logic board. So stuck in the bedroom with two computers going, this one has been over heating so I have lock down two of the cores, the fan on the graphics card melted, so working off the onboard graphics.

Good luck Nigel!

Give me a route map and can create a history file for you based on your average speed if you want, time on strava will be a bit screwy though. Use rwgps to create the route.

Thanks Nige - have done what route I reckon we did - flatter than I thought (the legometer needs recalibrating by the sound of things). I'll pop it thru

a tcx course file is best, it might have to wait a while, don't want to do much while the other comp is scanning.
@SpokeyDokey thanks, looking to get another HD, the one I got is a portable 2.5" from a portable device that the usb interface f'd up on, its ok for storage but wouldn't want it has the primary drive as its a bit slow, I have 7 drives in at the moment, though a couple are only small.
If you send it as an attachment rename the tcx bit as doc or txt

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Seems I can't recover the data , the scan only showed something like 110 files, out of something like 30,000

Edit
Well took the HD out connected it to this computer, and I am trying a digital media recover, instead of fixing the F.A.T. its been at it 20+ mins and found over 6,000 files, so there is hope yet, however it will take another 3 +hrs.

 

[Nomadski]

Good luck with that @Nigelnaturist, I know what it's like to lose digital content and the relief of getting it back!

 

[Nigelnaturist]

@Nomadski I have most of the images on flickr but I can only get them back as jpegs, and not as a the working copy, I have all the original raw files from the camera, backed up.
I am looking to put together an AMD 8 core system based on an Asrock Extreme mobo, however I will need a psu, and ram, and new graphics card as the mobo doesn't have one on-board, the AMD cpu can live on it till I can afford the 8 core, but before that I need a 2 or 3 new drives and set up some raid system on which ever I use as my main system, this system (my intel quad core) will support 6 s.a.t.a. drives but has space for at least 7/8 HD and an optical drive, so 4 1TB drives op sys and progs on one with possibly 2x1TB (possible 2TB if cost comes down) for data and then those mirrored, the other drives I have in it currently can go in the new build till I get the new cpu/mobo then I can just transfer the data drives to that, once I have installed the op sys/progs, but its a long term project really, not likely to happen fully till next year.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Well it did the scan showed 60,000+ raw media files but then wouldn't safe them, doing a slight different scan, this so far has shown

So I will let it finish this about 10 tonight and then see.

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Well this seems to be working

146,882 files altogether, just guess I will let it get on with it, it will probably take longer to copy to the other drive than it did to find them all (4 1/2 hrs)

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Well its still copying them across, some 10hrs later.
Done pictures recovered along with a load of other stuff I wasn't to bothered about, but nice none the same. No wonder data recover is so expensive, I have ordered another 1TB drive, need to see about migrating the os to one of the 1TB drives or copy the data from the d: partition to another drive then resize it to 1TB

 

[Stonechat]

Went over to RIchmond Park to do some laps
Like a daft idiot, I went there through Hampton Court (while the flower show is on - traffic was bad
Did two clockwise laps and two anticlockwise.
Used to think that clockwise was much worse, but didn't seem so much difference now
Went home a quieter route through BUshy Park

Lap time for Richmond Park now about 25 mins (edit just over 24 minutes), less than the last time I went

Been meaning to go there for some time but wanted to avoid Sunday when it is so busy

With the outward and return journeys and the 4 laps of circa 6.7 miles
52.62 miles @ 16 mph - not bad speed I suppose though held up
1755 feet climbed

[SpokeyDokey]

Got out early before the heat builds up and the excuses begin.

28.17 miles / 2982' ascent /14.1 mph - quite a good effort for me.

Highlight was a long (3 miles-ish) switchback country lane where I gaily swooped up and down with not much effort.

One disgusting smelling decomposed badger corpse spotted.

Got a creaky something going on at the back of my bike - possibly wheels/spokes flexing as it happens when I pedal hard up a hill with a little bit of bum sway. I will fidddle and swear later in the day.

Right then where's the juicer hiding? I need a slurp of banana/strawberry/ginger.....

Have a good ride all and stay safe.

Great ride. About the same climbing as me this morning but over a shorter distance so your ride must have been tough.

@Mo1959

Actually it was a piece of cake Mo' - I have legs like Oak trees!

That's me dreaming there - haha.

I'm slowly getting better at hills and really quite like them tbh. I wouldn't say I actively seek out extra hard ones but if I stumble upon a 'goody' I almost get giddy with excitement!

Mind you, this is me at the keyboard talking - whilst I am huffing & puffing up them I'd probably say something entirely different!

Much over 12-13% I find hard but then I used to find 5-6% hard- so I am improving.
