So I decided to upgrade my home machine from 13.1 to 13.37.... In every update I all ways take out all of my hdd and leave the one I want to write too..... This time I decide to leave it alone and just choose the correct disk and just be care full.... That didnt go so well... LOL
I for got that I had my usb back up drive connected and confused my usb back up drive with my internal storage/backup drive and lost everything on my internal drive....
In top of that I have no clue why I let lilo during install recreate the mbr rewriting my primary mbr and making me loose my chain.... BURN on me! ooo well lesson learn.

rofl!

Not as bad as what I did once, I mounted a 1TB drive temporarily in tmp and then forgot it was there, later I decided to do some house cleaning and decided to clear out the tmp folder using rm -r and yes I forgot to umount the drive! I don't ever want to try and recreate 1TB of data ever again!

I feel your pain. Though the data was important to me it was not that important for me to recreate the data.....

For the sake of this story, lets assume that I had 20k+ family photos, music, etc... on a hard drive.

The hard drive went a little loopy and had some bad sectors, but it still worked, so I ordered the replacement, which turned out being a "We will send you the new one, and you put the old one in the box and send it back."

Well. I did.

But I never backed up what was on the drive before I sent it.

Ouch. No software's going to get that data back.

w0w that hurts.... :/
I even feel bad... I dont know why but I want to say Sorry...

Man!
next week I will upgrade my Slackware too, thanks for that warning,
it will help me to pay attention about my data files.
