So after getting my new disk installed (which was my "data" partition housing My Documents/Music/Pictures/etc...). I transferred over enough to login to windows and my game saves from a backup. The only game files I was worried about were in Borderlands and since that had Steam sync, I was not thinking clearly. As I fired up the game, I saw in my library that steam was syncing, and I thought cool. This is like gmail, I do not have to worry about it.
Well, I had transferred over the backup from a week ago and steam was actually syncing the other way. I replaced my level 34 toon, that we were MPing with, with a level 20 earlier version. Not my idea of what sync should do, but I guess it is logical enough and I can imagine being pissed off if it went the other way and I did not want it to.
So the dead disk went into an external usb enclosure and on/off/on/off for about 40 minutes until finally windows asked to format it. Somehow, through the right click explore function in the disk management window, I was able to navigate to and get my sav file off the dead disk. Wheh.
end of rant.
