Howdy, I'm Carcitypilot31, I'm a cartoonist and creator of such videos like Charmin Basic Supermarket Madness. I might not post a lot on here sometimes, but I'll post something every now and then...

Update Regarding My Computer

Posted by Carcitypilot31 - 2 hours ago


If you haven’t heard, Sunday night my computer crashed and started to have issues. You can see that here: https://carcitypilot31.newgrounds.com/news/post/1507855


Today, I went to a computer repair shop and told them about the issue. They said that something that helps it start (I forgot what it was) is corrupted and the only way to get it fixed was to do a fresh reset which will cost me $100. This means that everything from the FLA files to my cartoons, unpublished art and animations, my MUGEN creations, and other things will be gone! Although, they can save the files before resetting it, but it’ll most me more. Another solution was to just save up money to get a fresh PC. But this doesn’t mean I won’t be making art anymore, as I’ll be active on my art thread. Or course, I’ll keep you updated if anything happens. This is Carcitypilot signing out!

There is hope. Burn a linux Live ISO such as linux mint to a DVD or USB, you can then browse your computer and salvage whatever can be saved.

To elaborate further, what will happen when you boot from the live ISO is everything will run in RAM (Random Access Memory) and will be forgotten if it's not saved on the drive itself when you shutdown the computer. It should be able to work even with the BIOS (I think it may be BIOS) failure.

If it makes you feel a bit better, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars on a new computer unless you do a lot of 3D rendering and need the GPU acceleration, or also use it to play the latest triple-A games from Steam.
