    I think the SSD controller is calling it quits or the partition table saved in the controller is corrupt. dd_rescue could probably work but you'll need to create a bootable Linux media with dd_rescue included. I'm not sure how comfortable you are doing that. Clonezilla might be able to make a bit-for-bit copy. Same with EaseUS or Acronis.

    Catapult deck under construction. I used the Italeri deck kit and elements of the Macross deck kit as reference to make this one up out of sheet stock. The italeri had certain parts doubled that won’t be needed in that build and I’m still debating using BDs from the resin kit or scratch building them.

    This would have at least been better than the actual Godzilla x Transformers Collaborative.

    Ok, I can get it to show the problem disk, with the proper partitions, if I use a SATA>USB adapter and treat it like an external drive. So I assume it's not 100% dead. Still can't view folder structure. However, trying to do Xcopy of folders I know are in there, gives me "invalid drive specification" (it's currently showing as F) My current theory/goal is to clone the main partition to another drive, then see if I can "open up the folders" and grab my files. Best way to do so? Is that even a viable theory? ::edit:: Hmmn, 100% free space. That doesn't seem good... Of course, if it was "just" 100% empty, then it should quickly be found/calculated and not cause Windows to have a fit just trying to find it... Here it is at the moment:

    @Thom Can you make me a Zentradi action figure that scales with my HMR VF-1?
  16. Papa Rat
    The ARII 1/100 VF-1S is ready for action. love this little fella. All these old kits just need a little love and patience.

    After War Gundam X wasn't out-and-out cancelled, per se. Its broadcast run was reduced by one cour partway through production due to lower-than-expected ratings and sales of plastic model kits and a move to a different time slot at several networks. Gundam: Reconguista in G was always a 26 episode series from the earliest stages of its development. Director Yoshiyuki Tomino deliberately restricted the length of the series to two cours, as he felt that was the limit to what he could do at his age and with the current state of the industry at the time. The series was poorly received, though not so much so that its run was affected. The Witch from Mercury, for all its many flaws, was also always planned to be a two cour series and was reportedly reasonably well-recieved in Japan. How long GQuuuuuuX will end up being, I have no idea. The last UC TV anime, Advent of the Red Comet, was just one cour... but like its predecessor Re:0096 it was a re-edit of a pre-existing OVA. I think I'd be pretty OK with GQuuuuuuX ending as a one cour series. Studio Khara has made such a mess of it that I don't think there's any saving the story... it would probably be better to tie off the bloody stump of the story and move on.

    I suggest keeping an eye on New Elementary.com, as they are, to wit, the only LEGO fan site that keeps astutely abreast of all new and recolored elements on a continual if obsessive basis. I've found them to be an excellent resource, as I'm always interested in what new parts are being introduced for my MOCing needs and they are generally on top of new releases with both set reviews and parts breakdowns. Disclaimer: I have zero affiliation with New Elementary beyond being a fan, but, like Bricklink, they are a huge resource to FOLs and, IMHO, deserve to be recommended at every opportunity. As to those parts you pointed out, I agree. I, too, wish they'd make more types, as well as versions with studs. My parts wishlist is long, but LEGO has really been pumping out interesting and useful parts over the last few years, many of which were only available before by buying other "clone" brands, who in many ways, were way ahead of LEGO for years in their parts innovation. I still wish they'd make plates with studs top and bottom for simplified SNOT building. LEGO's playing catchup, but themes like Speed Champions are driving the addition of long sought highly useful wedges, slopes, tiles, etc and I hope that trend continues unabated.

    Disney is just LucasFilm's parent company. Their only involvement in its day-to-day operations is appointing the members of its Board of Directors. The development and production of new Star Wars stories is managed within LucasFilm itself by its Chief Creative Officer (Dave Filoni) and the various producers working under him. Dave Filoni has brought characters back past their use-by date, as noted previously, but that's effectively a fate reserved for Filoni's personal stable of action-friendly Creator's Pet characters that he used heavily in his Star Wars: the Clone Wars series and its spinoffs. As a non-action girl and a non-Filoni original character, Dedra Meero is profoundly unlikely to make a comeback at any point. 🤣

    Current theory: Windows just has drive letter assignments all borked up, and is getting very confused. It actually works to put the old "D" drive from years ago in (my backup-backup at the moment), but it freezes, works, freezes, works, and repeats, until it eventually figures it out. Transferring what I can while it's working. Noticed that if you open drive manager THEN plug it in, it has a decent chance of reading it. (can't boot that way, so can't really USE the drive---but can at least scrape some files). Will try that method with the "just borked this week" drive later. (having to copy via USB 2.0....) It's like---it knows of multiple drives that have been "D" and it hates that it can't reconcile the differences and just freezes up when it encounters "any variation of a drive that has ever been D". (yet it doesn't have that problem with C, or most USB drives)

    They're wearing Captain Commando uniforms.

    Not necessarily. Unless the SSD controller chip decided it had enough of you and shot itself. I've seen it happen. Windows kept crashing on a computer until it stopped booting and eventually disappeared from the BIOS. SSDs have that tendency that when they die, THEY DIE. Not the slow death of spinning rust. And it's usually the SSD controller that dies first before the NAND chips. The only other time I've seen something like this was when I was trying to flash a 980 Pro's firmware. It would show in the BIOS but wouldn't detect/mount in Windows nor would take the firmware flash from Samsung Magician nor bootable media until I found another computer that I could install only the SSD into. Got it to take a Windows install then finally flashed with new firmware. Behaved afterwards.That's why I said, try it on another system.
  25. David Hingtgen
    Well, it's looking worse and worse. Bios doesn't see the drive at all, Windows11 has it "briefly appear drive F, freezes for a while, then unfreezes with the drive disappearing again". Samsung Magician can't see it. (and it used to). Did it just up and 100% fail, overnight? Only 2-3 years old. Though I swear it showed up in drive manager once, fairy early in this saga. Last dying breath?

    Just started watching this with my son and the thing that jumped out to me is that the Special Forces group are wearing the TCTF uniform from the game Oni. Or at least armor inspired by that game. Is there any crossover? The similarities in design are just too much to be a coincidence to me.
