"After days of not being able to acces the start menu, other operating system files got currupted and PC would no longer boot. It was hard picking which files I can back up because of limited space left on the external hard disk (Having another 2TB HDD failing was really troublesome). As I noticed that I ran below 10GB disk space, I had to cancel copying the other files so that the whole ARK folder can fit in. In the end I had insufficient disk space and was unable to salvage most of what I wanted to keep. Finally I dumped the other 500GB HDD which was part of a striped volume."
