Fuck this gay Earth. My desktop computer just broke: 800 gigas of content gone. I'm sure I had at least 200 gigas of VNs, doujins, etc. that I haven't read yet.
I'm now stuck with my very old laptop and ubuntu ;_; (and not enough money for a new one)
I really want to cry.

Friendly advice: dig in your backlog.

Do not panic yet my friend... you could always go and get a USB drive enclosure for your Hard Disk... unless your HD is the one that gave up in life... then you can still pretty much access your treasured data... do not give up yet!

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 28 05:29:58 2011 No.8046282 >>8046280 This. If you want you can even skip the enclosure and just buy the cables for, like, two bucks.

>>	「ロリアキ」 Fri Oct 28 05:30:58 2011 No.8046285 >>8046267 Pretty good odds the drives are sata, while the laptop uses ide/pata

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 28 05:33:29 2011 No.8046291 >>8046285 Then it has to be a quite old/shitty laptop. Poor OP probably suffers with 256mb of RAM and a single core.

Was wondering if that would be enough for lower-end Touhou games under Wine. Probably not, but more interrogation!

- What does glxinfo | head -n10 give you?
- What version of Ubuntu is it?
- Try out PrBoom or Chocolate Doom if you want more games.

Also you might want to look at Xubunutu 10.04 LTS or Debian Stable depending on your Ubuntu version.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 28 06:08:05 2011 No.8046363 >>8046348 Nope, I'll try different things progressively. Thanks for the advices.

Then it's most likely that your hard drive is still intact. It's probably the motherboard that's broken. Replacing it isn't all too expensive if you do it on your own.

I was in the same situation recently, just bought a new motherboard this monday after a couple of months relying on my old laptop only. Cost about 60€.
