Hello all

Just had the hydro guy come and put the stupid smart meter in and he did NOT tell anyone before he shut down all my hydro.
I came home to a computer that was no longer bootable under any circumstances.
Had to reformat and install again.

Lost entire cache of AP and Multibeam V7

Back up now.
Again very sorry.
Did have some prime words for the meter installer who toasted my OS

I came home to a computer that was no longer bootable under any circumstances.

Had a similar problem today. Spent the week at CERN, for meetings, but my main home cruncher (with the GTX 560 and GT 640 GPUs) crashed just a few hours after I left last Sunday. Absolutely miserable trip home (about 7 hours, CERN to Seaview Cottage, two of which were in indescribable queues for checkin and security at Geneva airport) to find machine was having disk problems. Have a Mint install on HDD and a dual-boot RHEL7 on SSD; best I could do was get a non-graphical boot from the SSD.
Started pulling things, the SSD, the new DVD drive... Finally pulled the HDD and put it in a USB caddy -- and it booted! Running like that for now, but need AP workunits as it's not set up to run GPU MBs at the moment. [Edit] I have compiled the MB GPU code, but I'm running stock, not anonymous platform, for the nonce.[/Edit]

Hallelujah, AP's just started coming down the 'pike!

xm...i think, if you do not have "windows crashed, all workunits lost", you can choose linux OS and software RAID 1 :)

multiuser OS, who has can been destroyed from user account is crap.

All is back up but the destruction came from sudden power loss while machine was crunching. Probably in a write state while it had power loss. I tried a Linux live disk to try and get it back but every time I got to the project directory the copy failed meaning disk errors occurred.

Either way it's a done deal
