    Now is the perfect time to upgrade! Get an SSD hard drive, they are better. Preferably a 1+TB one.

    Not all my data is lost. Plus it already was a 1TB SSD drive. My E and D drive both shared the same drive (the 1TB SSD drive space was decided between the two drives, both had 500GB). Luckily only the hard drive for those two drives burnt down. My C drive is still doing good. The computer support said that since the computer still loads up we can repair you D and E hard drive. And we agreed since new ones are a bit expensive to buy. I’m upgrading my C hard drive to a 512 GB one though
    Good thing most of my data was on my C drive…
    But beamng was on my D drive so it’s deleted….

    RIP BeamNG ata...

    How old was the drive? I still suggest an SSD of large size.

    Looks at it more positively. You can redownload beamng if you still have your steam account details and you can start fresh with all your configs and mods which you were overflowing with and can improve.

    Instead I made some slightly more sensible configs

    To be fair I had like 983 mods… I guess you’re kinda right about a fresh start, I could do that..
    IF my paid mods & data on sites like Gumroad or Ko-fi doesn’t get deleted. They said it probably won’t happen since my drive C is untouched and not harmed and because all the data of those sites gets saved on the user folder
    They said they’ll just repair the hard drive for
    My E and D drive. So it can kinda look good…

    Well, maybe the SSD tech has gotten better, and also make sure to do your research so this doesn't happen again.

    Come on no one replaces their hard drive each 2 years! (Okay some might do but not alot of people do it this oftenly)
    And they just said the replacement kit and the other C hard drive (the 512GB one) will arrive Friday, they are gonna give us the computer Saturday or Sunday and my suspecting is that either some option is disabled that shouldn’t have been, or it might have gotten a virus. Funny enough except my game caches (BeamNG and ETS2) I only had some random music and backup files in it, drive E was almost empty anyways too, so i was ALMOST ALWAYS using my C drive for everything basically, so I don’t know what might have caused the problem except those 2 theorys

    Maybe the hard drive was flawed to begin with. Also, your having a shop do this? I don't think it's that hard to put in another hard drive, and you have the assurance that the shop isn't screwing you over somehow (not that yours is).

    The shop is not ours but the manager is the guy i bought the PC from and we have stayed In contact since then, and we have took it on there for some minor problems to there to him since that time, (this is the first major problem in my pc I’d say), and they never screwed up one time. They’re quite talented in my opinion, I do trust the guy too. And about the replacement being possible at home, I was aware of that before I took the thing to the shop, but I don’t really want to risk screwing up something since this is the first major problem in my pc. And I’m pretty sure the hard drive didn’t have a problem from the start, since it would’ve showed some signs of problems along the way or do something to the files stored in it or not work as it was intended to. So I’m almost confident that I got the problem along the way

    Every Arima is actually a Toyota rebadge, no styling changes whatsoever
