any update on that big chunk of Indy stuff you were working on?

Do you know that it's all still sitting on my hard drive? *sigh* I'm going to get to it...I swear. There's so much of it.

lol, I know exactly how that goes. I have a few projects just sitting on my HDD waiting. Anyway, looking forward to all the Indy stuff whenever you get around to it :)

Is there any kind soul out there who can tell me where I can find these:
DF001: The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark
DF002: Great Movie Stunts: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Was it ever posted in alt.binaries or rapidshare? If someone knows, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
We want you to be aware that we have no plans—now or in the future—to restore the earlier versions.
Sincerely, Lynne Hale publicity@lucasfilm.com

Craig, couple questions for you...
I was going to work on some cover art for combo cases to hold some of your releases (need to save some space on the shelf). Are there going to be any more Jaws Archives releases? Or is it just going to be the two?
Also, any news on the Indy discs? sorry man, hate to be a bother, but just curious. Love you other DVDs. I was also going to put together a combo case for those. thanks :)

Yeah, speaking of the Indy discs, you had asked me to make menu art a while ago. Do you still need it?
My outlook on life - we’re all on the Hindenburg anyway…no point fighting over the window seat.

A little while ago a new Temple of Doom dics was to be released. Is it still happening?

Wow...that is absolutley HOT!
Thanks!
So....I've got some potentially devastating news. The Indy 4 discs may never happen.
Last night...I turned on my desktop PC to do a favor for a friend.
Guess what?
Dead.
I either get a flashing curser or a note that says "bootable disc not found."
I went inside the computer and I don't hear any problems with the drive. it's spinning up. I'm not hearing any clicking. But I'm guessing something went wrong somewhere.
The only thing I can figure out is that I had a usb card reader plugged in when I turned it on, although I don't know how that would affect it.
I tried a hard drive enclosure and, although I can still hear the drive speed up normally, I never get any sign that it's showing up.
So now it's off to data recovery. I got a quote of $590 for everything...if I decide to go with it. :( This was the explanation of what they think happened:
Your hard drive most likely has firmware corruption. Typically the drive spins up fine, doesn't click but never show up in the system or shows up with 0 capacity. It's a very common problem with Seagate's new 7200.11 family - we receive several requests a week with this issue. Data recovery in such case requires use of specialized equipment and experience to access firmware on the platters and repair corrupted modules.
So now I have to decide which place to send it to. I'd just like to know if it's there or not.
In other news, I've ordered two new drives from Newegg and they should be here tomorrow, I would assume. I'm going to buy a program that will clone my OS drive and install both of them. That way, if this should happen again, I'll be covered.
Let this be a lesson, boys and girls.....

The firmware is NOT on the platters. Doesn't sound like they know what they're doing...maybe get someone else.
I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.

Yes it is. Check out any thread about the Seagate 500gb drives. I can give you the version # when I get home. All of the drives from that line are crapping out. :( Here's a link with info: http://forums.slizone.com/lofiversion/index.php?t33993.html
Anyway...it was sent off. $600 if they can fix it. Waiting to hear back. It arrived there yesterday.

@ DigitalFreakNYC
Do you have an PayPal account? If so maybe we all can throw in some $$$ to support your data recovery.
I enjoy your work over here so i don't mind to help you out, i hope i'm not the only 1......

LMAO NO NO NO The FIRMWARE is on a IC CHIP on the PCB board inside the drive.....NOT on the platters. computers 101 folks.

this is true. but the problem could INCLUDE corrupt/etc. data on the platters that a new firmware may be able to ignore and boot successfully.

LOL! A person would think so, huh?
"Firmware Area (or System Area) is a reserved space dedicated to hard drive's own needs, such as: storing SMART logs, defect reallocation tables, program code (overlays) and so on. "
"Flash EEPROM chip contains only a little part of the Firmware; its primary role is to spin up the spindle and unpark heads so that the drive can read the rest of the firmware from surface. "
Hard drives seem to be designed to make repair as difficult as possible. The platter's portion of the firmware takes expensive equipment to access. That epuipment had to be designed by reverse-engineering data that manufacturers wouldn't provide. And what's often stored in EEPROM? - why the defect table that has the manufacturer's chunk of the bad-sector->spare-sector remapping info that's unique to the drive - so - you can swap a bad circuit board, with an identical drive, but a lot of your data will be corrupt, because the drive is looking for many of the wrong sectors - so you have to transplant the EEPROM first (assuming your EEPROM didn't burn out). (And that means, of course, that the firmware area, on the platters, could become corrupt, even unreadable, without the EEPROM's remapping info). Of course, model numbers aren't enough to tell you what's an identical circuit board, because different plants crank out different boards for each model. (And the off topic rant could go on for quite some time).
One day I found... 10 years had got behind me. Next day was worse.
Download shows from Cable DVR (Updated! Yes, it needs a rewrite, but it's worth slogging through, anyway).

Condolances, and best of luck.
I'm with that Paypal idea.
I hope that family doesn't include any of my models. I haven't yet bought enough drives to back up all my drives. I've researched how to deal with a lot of drive issues (a drive I couldn't afford to fix), but the platter's firmware is definatelly not DIY.

Guys,
I want to thank you all for the kind words and the paypal offer.
As much as I don't want to take you up on it, I just may. At this point, i don't even know if the material has been saved. if it has, I will let you know and we'll take it from there.
As a thank you, I would promise to get the Indy discs out immediately and I would give early download links to anyone who contributes.
I'm also planning on re-doing the original discs for the first 3 movies as well.
I promise to keep you updated.

your best bet is to get "raid edition" drives, which are designed for more usage regardless if you use them for raid or not (i.e. WD RE3 drive, NOT RE4-GP which is a green/low power model). the seagate 7200.12 drives are good, too, but i wouldn't be surprised if you are opposed to them...

I'm already up and running with 2 Western Digital 620gb drives. They'll be cloned so no worries about losing info again. :)
