I lost all my work.. Very important.. Please read
🕑 Added 2020-04-07 01:51:47 +0000 UTCSo as most of you may know, I have had a brand new PC that has basically been a paper weight for the past year because of moving. I haven't had time to just transfer my HDD and install all my programs so I could start using it. Everyone kept bugging me to do it, so I finally decided to do it yesterday..
Although I had my friend walk me by step by step, sat on video chat with me to make sure I did all the proper things, something went wrong and the HDD, that has all my years of work on it, malfunctioned. And somehow with it, the brand new PC also crashed.. Me and my friend aren't sure what happened. I did everything right, tried to fix the issues every way I had available, and nothing was working.. there was no power surging through the HDD anymore..
I asked my friend to make an hour long drive to my house yesterday despite Florida being on strict stay at home orders to take a look at it (he's AMAZING with computers. It's his job.) and try to help me fix it.
After being here all day, trying to recover the HDD in every possible way aside from taking it apart (need to be in a clean room and have the proper tools to do so) we were not able to recover any of my work.. He was able to reset my new PC and gave me a new 6TB HDD (fucking bless) to hold me over until he can take it apart and try to recover the files that way, but until then.. All my files.. all my work over the years.. projects I was working on.. including my new Mitsuri set.. was gone.. just like that..
Today he was able to help me restore photos from my SD card so I was able to recover some of my Mitsuri photos. But since I format my SD card after every shoot, there wasn't much to recover and it took hours to even pull the photos that we did.. But at least I can work on these Mitsuri photos for you guys hopefully get them done in a timely manner..
With that being said, if any of you have been a $100 Patron for a long time and have my old photo sets, if it's not too much to ask, could you make me a ZIP file, or google drive link so I can retrieve my old sets? Because there's no telling if I will even be able to recover my old content..
I'm very sad and this is a very hard lesson to save everything to the cloud.. this is a very expensive mishap and if I have to send my HDD to a clean room, it could potentially cost my thousands of dollars :/
Sorry for the long read. But it's very important that I keep you guys updated because this involves all of you since it's my content for Patreon that I am mostly upset that is gone.. I didn't even get to edit last months Makeup and photoshop videos.. and content I was working on for other cosplayers.. Just.. gone..
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate you. I am doing my best to fix the situation. I love you all.
