My hard drive was starting to give me disk errors, so I bought a replacement HD and used Ghost to restore an image on it. Unfortunately, I was not crunching the current CEP WU, when it did the back-up -- and I had a little bit of problems using Ghost due to "spotty" instructions. The CEP WU is now marked "detached", and it is trying to send out another copy to someone else.
I need to plug in the old HD to get a few files that weren't on the backup. Can I get files for BOINC to finish running that WU, or should I give it up (it was one of those long monsters)? (I guess I'll just unplug the network cable so BOINC doesn't try downloading another WU on the old HD.) -Thanks |

Give it up. It has already been sent to someone else, and recovering lost work units is disproportionately difficult.
Thanks for thinking of it, though. Very considerate of you to offer :-) |
