How my last 3 days went....
So much unnecessary stress 😖.
What started as a harmless “video_tdr_failure” blue screen quickly turned into a full-blown disaster. One crash, and suddenly I’m stuck in a reboot loop, like my computer’s trying to win the "most dramatic crash" award.
Eventually, the partition got so corrupted that not even Diskpart could save it. Tried the usual tricks:
Windows installer? Nope.
GParted? Nah.
Ran chkdsk, bootrec /fixmbr, bootrec /rebuildbcd

basically threw every tool at it like I was in a bad action movie. No success.
It’s kind of amazing how a single driver error can transform a perfectly functional machine into a broken puzzle you can’t even put together with all the right pieces.
Anyway forcely erased entire disk and did fresh install. So there goes my #caturday.
Funny how i was fully prepared for #caturday stream, even prettified my streaming scenes (my last post), and this happened. And got it fixed after event ended 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Ya know, it is sad, that nothing can truly *prevent* those random (however rare) complete OS Windows crashes (involving some wild unrepairable partition corruption).
The only thing You *can* do is:
backup daily.
Do a complete disk image backup (and then set *AUTOMATIC* incremental backup for every day at a certain hour, i.e. at 18:00) - so, You always have the most up-to-date backup possible...... the whole system SSD to another drive, ideally to a rotational HDD.
You just need to have prepared a functioning… See More
boot disk (test it out after creating it - to make sure it runs Acronis and sees KB+mouse+all the disk drives) for the current HW (i.e. Acronis WinPE bootdisk - with slipstreamed drivers for your current MotherBoard chipset: incl. NvMe SSDs + USB drv.(for mouse and KB) + SATA storage drivers - for the HDD).
I recommend and I like using Acronis TrueImage software myself, because it contains a very simple wizard which guides the user step by step in creating such bootdrive with slipstreamed drivers for the current computer HW & it automates most of the steps.
GL HF!
Game on!

What does Hard Disk Sentinel say about the deive"s health?
Is it, perhaps, related with the Windows updates kiling SSD-s, that's happening these days?
