God-FUCKING-dammit.

The title is my mild reaction to a 3TB HDD's only partition getting corrupted. The bad is that all jpeg images (my art and all that derives from it), all game screenshots, videos, game setups, software setups, legit software keys, study material, etc. Losing all that is fucking annoying, but I can live with it. It's an opportunity to filter stuff anyway.
But what really, REALLY sucks is that all my unfinished PSD files were also in there. Mainly Kogi's and SandyN's commissions. Especially the former's comic page lineart, which was 90% done. Rrrrgh.
I'll try one last attempt with Parted Magic tonight to recover those lost files. Which is pretty hard to figure out, since the system is linux-based and keeps wanting to save stuff in /root. Where that is, I have no idea since the files in there don't exist anywhere in my entire system if I boot in Windows. But it might be because I had to cancel the recovery process twice and it didn't finish (takes 20+ hours to go through an HDD that large on regular USB, it seems). If that also fails...I'll have to try and play around with the few WIPs and screenshots I still have.
On a separate piece of news, I'm also playing around with Daz3D for art planning/posing and such. Only used it in two pieces (that are now lost. fffff) so far, but plan to use more. It's pretty rudimentary.
(Examples: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zmessc9yn.....Final.jpg?dl=0
and this shitty one https://www.dropbox.com/s/dv16d8alp.....ndGun.jpg?dl=0 ).
On top of that, bad grades in college and the return of the evil kidney pain. My, what a week. -_-

(Not sure if this helps, just thought I'd let you know.) I hope things improve for you soon!
Most of the time i repartition to much smaller sizes with any HD over 500gb. Some i even put ent13 (old linux) or fat 32 for windows and if the partition fails it's usually easier to recover than something with NTFS or GPT.
Even as recently as today if i had not made the person's recovery partition fat32 i could never have recovered it. The NTFS recovery partition was totally scrambled.
I've done it to a few Western digital and Segaate external HD's in the 2 to 4tb range. Also add on controller cards (pci/pci-e) with often not read a drive correctly either so the best is to hook up the HD to a desktop computer's primary sata hd controler and power cable that way the partition software has less to contend with.
Sorry to hear about the kidney pain too. Talk about kicking when down!
Hopefully you already know that and have your files back by now!
Too bad for the lost work!
This project is doomed! :o
Sorry to hear about your evil kidney pain again! :s
'Hope it won't get any worse!
