did you try cold state recovery...

my boss did it once and he manage to recover all the data

this is what he did...

put your HDD in the freezer for 1 day

take it out and quickly transfer all the data

shortly after transfer all the data the HDD will be dead... but hey he got all his data!!!

the HDD is beyond repairlah.....

i think the HDD circuit is burn (IO Error)...also all the files is corrupted. also suddenly bad sector all over...

anyway i have send it to samsung office in PJ and awaiting for new replacement....they told me around 1 month or more...

btw xtreamer got new gadget mean for iphone, ipad and ipod.

no wonder no software updates.

been there, done that...and nope, it didn't work for me.

Firmware Beta2.5 is released to beta testers:

A new beta has been released to the testers today, it introduces the new Xtreamering option which holds all the community projects under one section:

1. “Xtreamering” menu added replacing “Movie Jukebox” .
- It contains almost all user created packages like Jukebox, xVoD, xLive, XTPhotos, Kartina TV, Rodno TV, Games etc along with online channels provided officially, News, weather and photo sharing sites
- “Xtreamering” is auto upgradeable online package
- Each sections which should run from HDD is auto downloadable.
- User can auto upgrade each section by just selecting that particular section and pressing “1” button, even you can upgrade “Xtreamering” package by selecting “Disclaimer” and pressing “1” from Remote control
- There is a section named “Online Upgrade” which also provides upgrade functionality along with Firmware upgrade
- As Xtreamering runs from HDD/USB (sda or sda1 partition), if no HDD/USB present it will auto redirect to “Internet” section (previous Internet menu)

2. “Internet Radio” moved to main menu replacing “Internet” section

darn...IMHO thats not firmware upgrade but merely an extension or additional plugin..

they should have concentrate on the actual problem like HDMI issue, the TrueHD in MKV, 1080p in 60HZ issue, HD sound that has serious compatibility issue with certain AVR (buzzing sound) etc

Sometimes just use windows scan disc to fix errors can work.

My whole profile folder gone....so i lost all my files under my admin user profile. This really bad. I just want to recover the pictures. Some is not yet back up.

Sorry to hear that. Btw what OS you using? Did you try any recovery software yet?

win7 ultimate 32bit.

The HDD still working fine. How to do recovery? Really noob on this.

I still using the ancient Win XP . But the problem is the more you use your computer, the less chance of recovery because the missing files space might be overwritten by newer files.

You accidently deleted the profile or was it due to some corruption?

You need to find a recovery software to see if your files are still there. Get one of those free trial software, just to see if the files are still visible (trial version will only list the deleted files for you to see, but won't allow you to recover) . Then later you can decide whether to get a full version or not.

But right now try not to use the computer if you can.

after my family member use it, this problem occur. not sure why...

i think chances of recovery is slim as i use another profile at the moment/

What format are your picture files. If jpg , then have you tried do search for all the .jpg , could be they are still not deleted, just hidden somewhere.

Yeah....I will try this method. Hopefully it will pop out.

thanks
