grimoirebbs down, computer crashed

Post by Shalafi »

So the PC I was running the board on crashed, will not proceed past bios screen and load windows. It won't even let me in the bios. Going to try and see if I can find a fix. Will keep forum posted.

So I took the hard drives out of the computer, will be giving them to a shop to get the data out. In the process of purchasing a new computer.

Might be a bit before the BBS is back up and running.

Just purchased a new computer (well old computer with windows 7 pro so I can run virtual XP). I took the hard drive out of the old computer. It has a SATS 2 hard drive so hopefully I can find a shop to extract the data.

If not, I have a full backup of the hard drive that is 2 months old.

Sorry for the frustration.

These things happen with old hardware.
