Is there any chance of the data from the wiki being tarred up and released to the community? I suspect most of the people that added data there expected it to be freely available, and depending on who buys the domain this may not be the case. I for one would love to have a backup of the wiki whate

Hello there guys, My joggler sadly got knocked off the counter at the end of June, and I haven't had the money to get a new one and probably won't for some time. I feel like I am neglecting the wiki because of it and have a lot of part-time work to do for university so can't keep maintaining it. T

Sounds more like the disk is pretty much dead, not just the MBR. If you can't make changes to the disk, either the controller or the disk are broken. If the disk doesn't work on a different PC, it sounds like it's the disk. I suggest you try a different HDD in your main laptop. Cofion/Regards, Nei
