Dont want repair shop to see porn

I have a ton of porn on my pc, like loads, the PC is failing and I suspect it'd the hardrive, found a good repair place that's cheap, I'm afraid as part of the diagnostics and repair process that they will go into my desktop screen and be 1 click away from fucktons of pr0n, like it'd all in my documents and super unorganized, can't be missed. Is there anyway I can stop them from seeing it? Tell them explicitly to NOT go into my documents? Idk

ya talk to a psychologist about your porn addiction

We don't have time to browse your shitty files. Sorry to disappoint, we just don't give a fuck. Unless, of course, someone tells us not to look. Curiosity and cats, y'know?

can you leave kid

This.

Just buy a new hard drive then.

Well they said that if the drive is failing they can just transfer it all over, the problem is I just want them to run diagnostics, they don't need to go into my documents to do it, just hook the thing up, run a scan, tell me what part is failing, replace the part, the end

Fix your own pc retard

We always check hard drives for shits and giggles. You wouldn't believe the amount of people's nudes i found throughout 4 years of fixing PCs.

If you don't want people looking at your shit just take the hard drive out. We'll know that you must have had a shitton of porn or questionable content on it, but at least we won't get to see it.

See

>Tell them explicitly to NOT go into my documents
This is a great way to make sure they do go into my documents

What diagnostics? You can easily do all that on your own.

Maybe this will teach you to have all of your porn in one place. Maybe even encrypt it but have it a little hidden. You seriously have it just strewn about in your documents? lel

I dont know, I always check
More often than not there will be lewds

So are they gonna go in there or can they do everything without checking my documents? Also if your gonna be weird and check their stuff then don't give them looks when they come back to get their px

Why the fuck do you need someone else to fix your pc?
Man up and do it yourself faggot, even a 3yo can swap parts.

Nobody fucking cares.
I'm not going to run around town telling everyone you like sucking dicks. I want your retarded ass back in my shop so i can sell you more cheap hdds.

They can do everything without checking your documents
but if they dont have much work to do, they will probably go thro it anyway for giggles

this tho,
they wont give you looks
Unless youre into really weird shit i guess

We honestly don't care what you have on your PC. Unless you have a folder labeled cheese pizza on your desktop, they're not going to go through it.

Also, save yourself time if you think it's just the drive. Get WD Data Diagnostics (free) and do a full scan, that's what we use to check drive health.

>not keeping your porn in an XP virtual machine on a virtual drive in an encrypted ZIP archive
ISHYGDDT

Create notepad file in folder with porn and name it "you have been pranked"

I don't think they care

And in their line of profession they've probably seen weirder shit you can't even begin to fathom

Enjoy prison, short eyes.

If it's not kiddie porn they won't give a shit

I remember I once had a job fixing PCs. Me and the other guy made a point of always searching everybody's computer that came through there for porn.
Found some pretty interesting stuff.

That's great but my PC won't start beyond saying insert boot disk, so idk what to do

Well, create a boot medium/disc on a different PC and run the diagnostics from that boot disc.

It's really not magic.

I keep mine right on my desktop.

>hiren's boot cd has Xp installation preinstalled
>download WD Diagnostics from XP
>run
>figure out what the fuck is wrong with your shitty PC

how is this so hard for you

This

You delete it all and when you get your PC back you copy your porn back from your backup.
How hard is that?

he's probably too stupid to keep a backup
the reason repair shops are still in business are because nobody backs shit up

I've got another PC I can use, but what lime do I connect the two with a cord or what, I'm Sup Forums illiterate, how do I into boot disks, what even is a boor disk

you know what
fuck it
you're hopeless
swing by my shop and cough up the $200 it's gonna take to fix your sorry ass

Then OP deserves to lose everything.

Sup Forums is NOT your personal tech support team or personal consumer review site.

For tech support/issues with computers, use /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests or one of the following:
startpage.com/ or duckduckgo.com (i.e., fucking google it)
stackexchange.com/
logicalincrements.com/

Now kys piece of shit.

/thread

Go to a repair shop with asexual service

just go to a tech support sight for the blind.

If you suspect the hard drive is failing, just download crystaldiskinfo and check the smart stats. If you really want to take your PC to a repair shop to run "diagnostics", put your files inside an encrypted 7z archive (enable filename/header encryption too, so they can't even check the names of the files inside the archive).

If the two are on the same network, the easiest thing to do would be setting up a network share and copying files over LAN. It's a built-in windows feature, you don't have to install additional programs. Alternatively, you can remove the hard drive from one machine and put it temporarily in the other, to copy the files.

the only time you should care is if the porn is of you or illegal.

repair shops by me as standard practice assume your shit is loaded with malware and do a format regardless of what you want unless you pay for data recovery.

a few years back I had an issue with my computer that I was unable to diagnose, if the problem was simple, I pay under 200$ for my shit to be fixed, if it wasn't, and it wasnt, I end up buying new hardware because replacement parts were not worth it for the cpu+motherboard combo

just give them the pc without hdds, if they ask why, tell them you have lost too much data in the past because they formatted the drives, once they fix the hardware issue you are going to put a new one in to install windows.

Cant believe you anons missed this!
OP is actually from /x/ and said 'porn' to throw you off, and worried about their /x/ folder??

So user, we were fixing your laptop and we just couldnt help but notice you have a fascination with:

-leprechauns...
-demon summoning spells...
-and we found a shit load of jpgs of you in your wizard's cloak.

>ha ha -f-funny repairs guys, you found my
p-porn..(loud enough for the shop to hear)

No wizard boy, we found your weird Sup Forums paranormal /x/ folder

I only check if my customer is a qt gril. Don't really care for other files. Sometimes I also get nice warez, doesn't happen too often now though.

what's wierdest shit you've seen?

Granny pics and jb. Sometimes gore. Nothing too extreme you wouldn't find in a 5 min search on ddg. Private porn is 90% poorly filmed or photographed and 40+. Good private pics are very rare. Most of the time I don't even bother looking at any files except there is an obvious movies folder. Don't really care for passwords or any private data as it's mostly boring stuff and reading / browsing through it is pretty much a time waste.

I believe the expression is "curiosity killed the cat", but at least you tried.

> not doing your own diagnostics
You deserve whatever you get

>2018
>Still not encrypting your hard drive by default
What the fuck man

Lol whenever theres porn on your pc we just laugh and move on. This guy had us backing up terabytes of porn the other day, no one really cares.

STOP WATCHING PORN

Remove old drive, or don't drop the soap.

>he lets another man touch his computer

...

>what lime do I connect the two with a cord
Put the lime in the coconut.

Nani?!

you shouldn't be on Sup Forums if you can't maintain and repair a computer

ree

>my PC won't start beyond saying insert boot disk
So insert boot disk you fucking faggot!

can anyone say who is taking shots of that fat fuck?

This shit doesn't happen if you go to a good place instead of relying on shitty teenagers to fix your stuff at the cheap places.

I've never looked through anyone's files, and if I catch any of my employees someplace they shouldn't be they're out the fucking door.

We're trusted with people's lives every day, we don't give a shit about your porn

One of my older customers had a bunch of videos of his wife getting plowed by random dudes and then he would fuck his wife after with no condom. Was actually filmed really well and sometimes with more than one camera. Never looked at his wife the same way.

Another customer gave me his password that was "12inches" or something like that, then went on to tell me he was in porn. When he came to pick his computer up, he logged in and checked it all out then popped up a video of him and showed it to me... I didn't ask for a display he was just like, "this is what I do, check this out." video of him banging some white girl.

i removed my HDD before i sent my laptop to get repaired, sorry to disappoint you but i did that cause it had personal files i don't want anyone to see (ID,Passport...etc) i don't give a fuck about porn

>some white girl

Why did you need to specify that, dumbass

This is what autism looks like, folks.

Because he's non-white

stop watching porn

what the fuck happened there

user who worked in computer repair for over a decade here.
As far as diagnostics are concerned it's not like we don't care – we *negatively* care and actively avoid going through user crap. Sure, it's fun to go through shit for shits and giggles for the first few times when one is new in this field, but it gets old and immeasurably boring after the first half of first day at work.
Where I worked, we sometimes had people asking to "reinstall their PC, but make sure all my valuable files are intact". For that, we'd go through a few common places where valuable files could be and that involves inspecting, which sometimes I mean often yields pr0n. Other than "hmm... I don't see any valuable files.", our reaction is basically none. Although there were a few times I stumbled on some gay pr0n, but that only made me stop looking for files and just wipe the data and reinstall.
That said, if it's the hardware you want checked, nobody's gonna care.
Even moreso: when suspecting a hardware issue we'd generally wouldn't even boot to their OS and would not touch their filesystem at all.

When my friends asked me to fix their computers I sometimes go through their files and see nudes of them or their gfs/wives etc.

I have done support for friends/family/neighbours as well.

Weirdly enough never stumbled over anything "interesting".
Granted, didn't go out of my way to find anything. Simply fixed the problems and went home.
Probably better that way anyway. Where do people save that shit in your experience? ~/Pictures? ~/Documents?

stop telling me what to do

Run chkdsk you stupid nigger

>fsck yourself you stupid nigger
FTFY

%appdata%

I'd also do this with dedication if I had this kind of job. Porn is something I can check if people are worth it.

>the guy digging through my personal files specifically to find something I don't want to show other people has decided I'm not a worthy person

shit business you must have

nice reading comprehension you must have

Only thing of interest would be actual unpublished lewd imagery. Like pics of your sister with a dildo in her ass or something. No one will bother with porn they can acquire on the internet themselves, that's not worth anything. Prime quality lewd imagery that isn't easily found on the internet is gold.

If you suspect it's the harddrive replace it yourself. Or take it out before you give it to them. It's not rocket science retard.
