Sorry to here that! It's too bad they can't recover the data.
I recently had a hard drive die on me, but thankfully had backed-up everything a few hours before.

Don't get discouraged, I know this means a lot of extra work, but life sometimes does that.
Also, being a new computer, is it still under warranty? It can't recover your data, but they should replace that hard drive as three months is awful quick for something like that to go out.

Ouch.

Consider backing up to a cloud service (drop box/Google etc) if size limits and performance is not an issue.  I wouldn't use those services for private information but I think they work well for a few thousand zipped up images/frames.  It also opens up options for collaboration if someone joins your team.

I am so sorry!  Don't worry about the delay.  We all understand.  Just take your time and, as funmi said, you may like the second version even more than the first.  I'm sure we'll all enjoy it no matter when it comes out.

The same thing happened to me with my Jango Fett video. Really sorry for you man.

Dropbox gives you 2GB for free, which probably isn't enough. Google Drive, however, has 15GB of free storage space, and you can actually upgrade to 100GB for $2 a month.

That's terrible, I hope you can either recover the files or have very smooth filming for the rest of the episode. It is a really good idea to purchase an external hard drive or some DVDs to back up files such as these, just in case this happens again.

Man thats terrible and especially for a computer thats only 3 months old wow man, you must have been really shocked and upset considering the situation and given circumstances. What I was wondering is why they couldn't recover all your data? That sounds very unusual. I had a situation where my laptop fell into a bath destroyed the whole computer however I managed to save all the data. Thank God.

I'm sure there is a reason for your case just sorry to hear you were unlucky it always happens to the best of us.

I wish you God speed on your re-shooting hopefully it'll be better than the original man I actually watched a few episodes you got some funny stuff going on and great VA man I applaud you for that.

Sincere regards,
Divine.
