I swear the evil RNG is not letting me get that one last skillup in tailoring! I'm using my second PC to post this.
I was about to get going on my main to farm some more shissar scales but I was having a hard time logging from trader to main and getting out of bazaar. Zoning time was well over 10 minutes and I kept getting booted to character screen. I figured a corrupted file so I /exit the game and started the pather.
The patcher took about 5 minutes to check the files... not a good sign as it usually gets done in under 10 seconds. Then it became stuck in downloading loop redownloading the one same file over and over.
I went to check EQ directory to rmanually remove the "stuck" file only to find EQ directory is missing a lot of files. Every files and folders starting with E to Z were not in the directory. Including the patcher, which oddly the short cut still works.
I did a chkdsk with /r and I was instructed to reboot.
That was almost an hour ago now. The scan is only 1/3 way in the first step, the past hour was wasted in non stop scrolling of "File record sugment xxxx is unreadable." with a few "Deleting corrupt attribute record (128, "") from file record segment xxxx" in the mix. I figure 2 more hours before stage 1 gets done.
Must find a crying towel... and a well insulated room for me to scream out.
It especially blows that the warranty on this 200GB hard drive has expired some months ago. Unless WD changed something recently, it was 1 year and some month from date of mfg.
So if it's faulty hard drive and not a horrible and freaky case of mass corrupted files, I'm screwed.
Once the scan gets done, I'll salvage what I can, then do a reformat and use WD diagnostic to see if the ailing hard drive is still useable and if so, what is left.
