Hi everyone I'm not sure if this is in the right place or not so I'm sorry if it is lol anyway I'm pretty sure my old computer that I had all my petz on has died and I'm doubtful that it is fixable. It froze up while I was playing petz and wouldn't let me do anything so when I tried re-starting it, it just kept blue-screening and would not reboot anyway I tried it. All it would do is keep re-starting itself over and over again. I am so devastated and I'm not 100% sure it's not fixable but I have very few doubts that it is. I downloaded petz onto my other computer and got it up and going so am hoping some of you out there I have adopted petz from recently (or at any time really) still have their files? I'm pretty much having to start over but if anybody knows of any petz I have adopted from them and still have the files please let me know Thank you everyone in advance -Bec-

Oh no!! I have some bred/hexed petz for you in my e-mail that I can resend for you? I can also dig through my recycle bin to see if there's anyone's files left in there?

I’m so sorry that happened! I tend to keep backups of all the petz I adopt out, so I probably have the ones you’ve adopted from me, so I can resend those! And if you don’t delete your emails you can probably get a lot of them back from that! o:

Is your old broken computer a regular desktop? They have hard drives that are easy to take out and pretty easy to mount onto another device via a USB to SATA adapter of some kind. It could be the OS part of your drive is corrupted, but the files are still reachable (assuming the file system isn't destroyed). But if you want to give that a try you are welcome to ^^

So far I've found one pet in my email still that you've adopted from me, but also, are you the same Bec on The Flea Market that bought this pet from me, too? ( Prolly a silly question to ask but I have a horrible memory and I get names confused, especially when there may be multiple people with similar names lol)

Just to second Thor's suggestion on trying a USB Hard Drive caddy (they are fairly inexpensive) or if it will let you get as far as the boot menu (you normally see a message on screen as it starts up that says press F11 or something similar for the boot menu) If you can do that you can try changing the boot load order to load the CD/DVD drive first and use your other computer to create a Ubuntu Live CD. It's like a demo of the operating system without installing anything to the drive itself so no precious data is overwritten but it does have the advantage of letting you access the hard drive if it's still readable and moving files over to a back up drive/CD/USB drive etc. Also not a big deal but seeing as this is an appeal for your existing crew and not for newbies that normally requires a form I'll move this over to Petz Talk.

I still have some of the Petz I emailed you in my sent emails folder, so I went ahead and resent those emails. Sorry for the bunch of emails you just got from me lol. I don't think that's everything you've adopted from me, though; I don't know why only some of them were saved on my end.

Thank you all for your suggestions and for sending me the petz! I'm definitely gonna try that and I hope I can get the files from my crashed computer to my other computer. I'm afraid the hard-drive could be the problem tho but never know. Nostalgic I don't remember any of the letters or numbers of any petz I've adopted from you sadly. I'm gonna look thru the PUGS posts on here tho and send you pics of ones I have adopted from you. I will probably e-mail you with them if that's alright and thank you in advance -Bec-
