So my girlfriend just got her pc back from toshiba wherethey did a few things one of which was replacing her hd. While it was gone somehow her external got formatted too and she wanted all her pics off so we got a picture recovery software package and were running it. When the external got disconnected the program skipped to the internal and on a "brand new" drive starts pulling gigs upon gigs of porn off this thing.

Refurbished drive subbed in for "new" I guess?

MAJOR LAWSUIT.

10/19/2010 10:13:16 PM

I had to read the story like 3 times but I finally understand what happened

10/19/2010 10:13:29 PM

10/19/2010 10:18:39 PM

post em up

10/19/2010 10:44:02 PM

LOL @ gigs of porn...why do people save porn on their computer. IN CASE THE INTERNET GOES DOWN???

^^no, it's in case it gets taken down from the internets

more likely than you think

10/19/2010 10:51:58 PM

On a side note. I would be pissed to find out that they put in a refurb HDD.

10/20/2010 12:12:20 AM

who knows? maybe the hdd manufacturers are secretly sending out new drives with porn hidden on them as an easter egg?

10/20/2010 12:25:23 AM

When the apocalypse happens, the gods will be the ones with gigs of saved porn. It will be worth more than gold.

10/20/2010 12:33:57 AM

pretty sure if the apocalypse happens, you want guns not porn. Cause if you have guns, you could direct porn and would be considered gods in your clan... That and maybe save clean water... or condoms. Would seem a valuable thing to have to trade.

10/20/2010 12:37:54 AM

Clean condoms are generally a pretty big deal.

10/20/2010 2:26:37 AM

Not in porn.

10/20/2010 2:34:03 AM

^you are correct

10/20/2010 2:35:46 AM

you say that now, but the aids scare last week (was it?) might set the industry back a bit.

10/20/2010 8:21:09 AM

where does a "new" drive with gigs of free space somehow keep all these "gigs and gigs" of porn?


srs qstn

10/20/2010 8:41:05 AM

^ when a drive is "erased," it's rarely actually erased

10/20/2010 8:44:34 AM

The data is usually still there, the references to the file's physical location on the disk are changed to say that the space can be overwritten.

10/20/2010 10:57:56 AM

... or maybe your girlfriend just has a porn addiction she has been good about hiding from you in the past.

10/20/2010 11:04:38 AM

^ bingo. i can't believe it took so long.

10/20/2010 2:20:01 PM

Congratulations your gf is into porn. We should all be so fortunate.

10/20/2010 3:08:46 PM

lol yeah that wouldn't happen cause she knows i'd be cool with it.

Yeah formatting a HD just deletes the index not the actual information.
