Crashed Hard DriveSubmitted by Michael Tapinsky on April 11, 2008 - 3:19pm.
I logged into Thunderbird portable. The data is saved on our network, not on a memory stick. My hard drive crashed mid-session. Now I cannot log back in from any other terminal. ( categories: )

rab040ma - April 11, 2008 - 7:37pmYou cannot log into the network? You cannot log into another computer? You cannot load Thunderbird Portable? Please clarify. (Thunderbird portable doesn't really have a "log in" function; it just runs or not. It may ask for a password when it tries to get your mail; is that what you are seeing, a prompt for your email password?)
Did you see an error message? What did it say?
Running Thunderbird Portable from a network is not really supported, at least not in a multiuser environment. If you are the only one running TBP from that folder, you're probably okay. It should just work. If not, we'd need more information to figure out how it is set up. If you really want support, copy the TBP folder(s) to a USB drive, and run it from there, then we'd know what is going on.

Crashed hard drive - log in problem
Michael Tapinsky - April 13, 2008 - 8:49pmWhen we run the .exe file, there immediately appears a message saying there is another session open and that must be closed first before another session can be opened. So the software never opens.
Any thoughts?

Michael Tapinsky - April 14, 2008 - 9:21amThe folders containing the mail are stored on our server. The computer on which I was running Thunderbird crashed mid-session. That computer is now gone. When trying to run the .exe file from another computer with my account info, it says the session is still open. There is nowhere to "close" the session.

you probably need to delete the file 'parent.lock' in the Data directory

Could you
take the crashed computer off of the network and retrieve the data from the disc with a knoppix cd? I mean if the hard-drive isn't totally fried? I read about using knoppix as a recovery disc, wondering if this was possible?
Now I look back on yesterday, wonderin' what I've done,
did I help somebody along the way, or did I just look out for number 1?
