| magespawn | Not sure I am bit out of the way | 18:25 |
| Kilos | the monkey and nuvolari supposed to be making plans with you hey? | 18:26 |
| magespawn | That was the idea | 18:26 |
| Kilos | oh i thought you said you gonna make the trip | 18:26 |
| Kilos | saw in the list mails intel has a new chip out for desktops | 18:26 |
| Kilos | 13 quad core processors in it | 18:27 |
| Kilos | must fly | 18:27 |
| Kilos | and cost a fortune | 18:27 |
| magespawn | I was going to see if I could but I do not know any of the details | 18:30 |
| nuvolari | o/ magespawn, uncle Kilos, superfly | 18:31 |

| nuvolari | gaan dit goed? | 18:31 |
| magespawn | Hey nuvolari | 18:31 |
| Kilos | wat beplan julle vir n release patrytjie | 18:31 |
| Kilos | ja dankie nuvolari | 18:31 |
| nuvolari | I'm a bit out of the loop, and from what my eye caught there were talks on Kloof | 18:32 |
| nuvolari | which is way out of my planned reach | 18:32 |
| Kilos | oh ya thats on the road to maritzburg | 18:33 |
| Kilos | what does william walter kinghorn say nuvolari ? he was involved a few releases back i think | 18:34 |
| nuvolari | Kilos: I think he was talking 'bout that | 18:34 |
| nuvolari | but I've not really had time to read *all* the emails :-/ | 18:34 |
| Kilos | i havent seen any about a durbs party yet | 18:35 |
| Kilos | maybe i dont get all the mails | 18:35 |
| magespawn | I did not see anything either | 18:35 |
| Kilos | get lotsa libre office help needed ones though | 18:35 |
| Kilos | bad to be doff at times hey? i struggled most of the day to cd to a partition on my drive called /storage | 18:41 |
| Kilos | tried /home/storage /home/miles/storage | 18:42 |
| magespawn | Okay, what was the problem | 18:42 |
| Kilos | then media/storage and /dev storage | 18:43 |
| Kilos | ended up i just had to go /storage | 18:43 |
| Kilos | sigh | 18:43 |
| magespawn | Lol | 18:43 |
| Kilos | hehe | 18:43 |
| magespawn | Most obvious route | 18:44 |
| Kilos | its a lekker 40g partition full of movies and mavericks packages etc | 18:44 |
| magespawn | Cool beans | 18:44 |
| Kilos | want to empty it to put precise repo in there | 18:45 |
| magespawn | Brb putting fish 1 to bed | 18:45 |
| Kilos | but takes forever to watch the movies before deleting | 18:45 |
| Kilos | k | 18:45 |
| magespawn | Back | 19:01 |
| Kilos | wb | 19:01 |
| magespawn | You can't get another hard drive? | 19:01 |
| Kilos | i have the 40g external as well | 19:02 |
| Kilos | but thats also kinda full | 19:02 |
| magespawn | 40 gig? | 19:02 |
| Kilos | yeah but its like 36g | 19:03 |
| Kilos | oh sorry gig yeah | 19:03 |
| magespawn | You always lose a bit because of system files etc. | 19:03 |
| magespawn | That is pretty small though | 19:03 |
| Kilos | but it also works now and again so first want to format and fsck and make sure it is good and reliable again before i save important stuff there | 19:05 |
| magespawn | Good idea. | 19:05 |
| magespawn | There arentwo things I seem to run out of all the time, plugs and storage. | 19:05 |
| magespawn | Are two | 19:06 |
| Kilos | lol | 19:06 |
| Kilos | i got a 200g seagate drive here that just goes click click and dunno where to even start looking | 19:07 |
| magespawn | Considering getting another 2TB of storage, but have other plans first | 19:07 |
| Kilos | ian brings all his scrap here | 19:07 |
| magespawn | Sound like stuck heads | 19:07 |
| Kilos | whew what do you save that needs that much storage | 19:07 |
| Kilos | i opened it and the heads actually moved back and forward for a while then just stop | 19:08 |
| Kilos | pc doesnt even see it | 19:08 |
| magespawn | Most of my dvd i store like that, so that when disk is damaged i can still watch them | 19:08 |
| Kilos | ah | 19:09 |
| magespawn | Could try the controller board if you can get a spare | 19:09 |
| magespawn | Kids tend to wreck dvd 's quite quickly | 19:10 |
| Kilos | that little board inside it? | 19:10 |
| magespawn | The one on the bottom on the outside | 19:10 |
| magespawn | The one the controller cables plug into | 19:10 |
| Kilos | oh that big one. not must chance of getting one of them. unless ian gets lots more scrap ones | 19:11 |
| magespawn | That is usually the problem with drives no spares | 19:11 |
| Kilos | modern electronics is so advanced there isnt even much one can test anymore\ | 19:12 |
| Kilos | chips with 100 legs etc | 19:12 |
| Kilos | when i was still working with electronics 24 legs was a massive chip | 19:12 |
| magespawn | I think they use white lithium grease for lubrication maybe try that on the head | 19:13 |
| magespawn | Yup | 19:13 |
| magespawn | Progress isn't it fun? | 19:13 |
| Kilos | the heads are those like wipers on either side of the disks hey | 19:13 |
| magespawn | Yup | 19:14 |
| Kilos | progress is good but everything is moving away from manual repairs | 19:14 |
| magespawn | But the grease goes at the point were the little pivot is | 19:15 |
| magespawn | Brb | 19:15 |
| Kilos | ah. but it seems to pivot fine thats what makes the clicking noise | 19:16 |
| Kilos | eish | 19:16 |
| Kilos | wb | 19:16 |
| magespawn | Touch keyboard was freaking out | 19:17 |
| Kilos | sjoe | 19:17 |
| magespawn | The grease must not go on the actual heads but on the arms at the pivot point | 19:17 |
| Kilos | ah. but it seems to pivot fine thats what makes the clicking noise | 19:18 |
| Kilos | but will try anything | 19:18 |
| Kilos | would be lekker to have 200g of storage | 19:18 |
| magespawn | Maybe the board works just enough to get that going then fails | 19:18 |
| Kilos | i will experiment | 19:19 |
| magespawn | Does something like gparted see the drive? | 19:19 |
| Kilos | i forget now but will check again and let you knopw | 19:19 |
| Kilos | know | 19:19 |
| Kilos | but dont think so | 19:19 |
| Kilos | if gparted sees them its normally the mbr that corrupt | 19:20 |
| Kilos | fixed some like that by zeroing them and then installing | 19:20 |
| magespawn | If that does not then I have no other idea, there is a linux program for recovering info called photoimage i think | 19:21 |
| Kilos | photorec | 19:21 |
| Kilos | and testdisk | 19:21 |
| magespawn | Thats it, that worked when gparted did not | 19:22 |
| Kilos | got great data recovery tools but drive needs to be seen first | 19:22 |
| Kilos | actually blogged about it once | 19:22 |
| Kilos | ty for the chat magespawn night all | 19:25 |
| Kilos | sleep tight | 19:25 |
| magespawn | Night kilos | 19:26 |
| magespawn | Ooops slow typing | 19:26 |
