OMG you people suck :p

 

There has to be a program out there that will retrieve your deleted files, they won't have been totally removed from your hard drive yet. First though, do a search of your PC to make sure you didn't accidentally move it anywhere, and check your recycle bin

 

Here's a couple

They're only trials, but will probably work for now so you can get your TDU file back.

 

Oh, and DON'T DO IT AGAIN!

[ExplosiveGoats]

Restore from your recycle bin.

 

EDIT: Dam Randy beat me to it! :mad:

[hesonly5]

Restore from recycle bin.

 

Assuming it's still there. Pressing Shift+Del bypasses the recycle bin.

[Baltoman]

Well I did download a restore file program but its not helping

[hesonly5]

Oh, that's not good... What did you download?

[Baltoman]

PC Inspector File Recovery, I found some files related to the ones in the folder Test Drive Unlimited but it looks like the files have spreaded out

[Baltoman]

I have an Idea, randy go on msn and pass me your Test Drive Unlimited file and Ill just rename your name to my name

[eleKtro]

You done a search for it?

 

 

Look in C/WIndows/RegEdit

[Baltoman]

tried regedit, got lost 0o

[ShadowGT]

Only one thing left to do. Stick your head between your knee's & kiss your ass good bye :D

[Andreas¹]

Can't you copy it over again from you DVD?

[Baltoman]

[hesonly5]

He means his savegame folder, not the game files :p

[Andreas¹]

Meh, I thouhgt he meant the TestDriveUnlimited.exe

[Baltoman]

Well, went to see the "guy that fixes computers" and he said he'll have to extract all the deleted files from my HD and then try to find the file I want.... He also said that he doesnt garantee 100% that he'll find it.

 

Im feeling soooooooo sad right now

 

Dunno what to do..

 

Well, Ill be known as [OPD]OfficerBalto ingame until BaltoACR comes back.

 

I just hope I'll find the files, Im so depressed

Remember, it's only a game

[Baltoman]

I spent over 400 bucks on the PC rigs + 100 bucks for the original copy of the game + 2 months of hard work to get to champion level and have all the things I have now

 

Yes its a game, but it carries 45% of my happiness with it

[Iced_Bullet]

Can't OfficerBalto help solve the mistery of the missing savedata?

[Baltoman]

nope, He's just an Oahu Traffic Control officer

[Baltoman]

Update... Forget about the officerBalto thing, Im still BaltoACR

 

thats all, still didnt recover my file
