LOL, now I got it, you are co-relating tragic ending with GTA? right

My Windows XP got corrupted and I lost all the save games and lots of other game files. :crying: I have to start GTA: San Andreas and Prince Of Persia 2008 from the beginning. :52:

Yaar u could have booted off from some live cd of linux and could have saved the save-data to another partitions.

I know how it feels I lost my great collections of stunts, some where really amazing, like a motor boat hitting the top of palm trees, two police trucks blasting in air, some high bike jumps, i missed them so much

you used to save the replays? i have a huge collection of FIFA 2007 replays ... some amazing goals ...

yup, replays, how can you save a goal, i mean, if its a small video of shooting goal, that's fine, but how can you know from the screenshot that how difficult was the shot?

you dont play fifa na? we can save replays(videos) ... but not in any media player compatible format. the replays can be seen in FIFA only ...

yup, you are right, I don't play FIFA

vice city can be viewed as a lighter version of SA ... not much of a story there .. the game is shorter than SA ... in terms of missions and explorables ..

@danny, techie is right, I am playing mafia, and we were talking about mafia in regard to tragic ending.

@saurav, it is smaller than SA, but at some points, its better than SA, like the stunts, the graphic, etc. I have completed vice city more than thrice

yes ... the stunts are good .. even the music was lot better in vice city ... i also have completed it a few times ... was really addicted to it before

I think the cause of the problem was because the UPS stopped before the system could finish shutdown process. When I started Windows XP, after the loading process it showed me the BSOD for a second and restarted immediately. I tried many times, but the result was same. I didn't know what to do and I remembered one of your post about BSOD. That it could be because of faulty RAM or curruped system files/drivers. So I checked RAM with Ubuntu CD. And got in to the conclusion that it's the second problem. So the on solution I could think of was to reinstall Windows XP.

You saved me. :w00t:

The save data of is stored in NTFS partitions and normally it cannot be opened in Linux unless Windows XP is shutdown properly. Or is there another way ?

It was a habit of mine to make back up of save games. But I lost it after playing many small games like COD & MOH.

I also lost the all the cool game screeshots and videos from Prince Of Persia, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, GTA San Andreas Medal of Honor: Airborne. I stored them in Desktop and My Documents and forgot to move to other disk.

Hmm okies. But u could have easily accessed the NTFS partitions from within the live cd environment. Modern distros allow mounting of NTFS partitions..

But NTFS cannot be opened in Linux unless Windows XP is shutdown properly. Right ?

Before when I tried access NTFS disk in Ubuntu, it showed the message "Unable to mount....." When I google searched for a solution, I got the result to shutdown Windows properly and try again. And it worked. The same have happened in Kubuntu and Mandriva.
