ACCESSING 2000s Computer Data of Abandoned Company 

New part: Accessing Abandoned Production Computers - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v2D9i4GxKOU.html EDIT: I appreciate everyone suggestions! Next time, it will be useful for me to explore those old drives! I'm familiar with VMs and other tools. I just wasn't ready and not expected to find games on the hard drive. I already have other places where I will explore old computers, so see you soon!

Me: *goes to work* Sanivle: This house looks abandoned. Let's check it out.

FYI: the reason some apps on that drive say they aren't compatible are because they are 16bit applications, and you have 64bit Windows 10. If you had 32bit Windows 10 you could install the 16bit compatibility feature (if it isn't installed by default) and then run those games. The ones that ran were 32bit Applications, which obviously do run on 64bit Windows 10.

Dude didn't recognise bootleg Tetris. And also forgot that DOOM has daemons.

Definitely do more of these computer files explores. This is exactly what I wished people would do but in a way that doesn't divulge any sensitive information.

"Where did you get your DOOM 1 and 2 wads?" "I found them in an abandoned gas station"

Expectation: Super secret company’s data Reality: *N o s t a l g i a*

This feels like the beginning of a horror greentext you would find on 4chan or reddit.

8:18 you’d mentioned later in the video that the station closed in 2006. If you look at the uninstall file shown here, it has a date of 3/29. It’s likely a that file has a list of file paths added by the installer, so they prob. added that game not long before they closed.

Great video, absolutely fascinating to learn and see more, a real personal peak into what was actually going on. I would love to see more. I know others have already recommended a virtual machine, but I just wanted to say I got mad respect for you particularly at the end when you put the HDD back in the computer and reconnect everything as if you were never there. Nice one!

This video made me intrigued to look at more of your stuff, im sure ill enjoy it especially if you bring that computer around usually, and show us cool stuff!

Someone could make a good horror game based on this video

Good video this. Interesting. Good to see you left it as you found it. Respect.

Dude went into abandoned place and got Fallout New Vegas level of a loot. Meanwhile if I went into some abandoned building, the next thing I know my liver is missing

Isso o Alanzoka não mostra

Showed up on my recommendations, future looks bright for this video best of luck man

its crazy to think that there are so many old abandoned crt monitors, considered junk and people still sell them for £100. surprised that hard drive still functioned, poorly designed cases of the early 2000's saved the day.

if this was in my country , nothing would be left! a hotel closed down a couple of years ago , people came in to strip copper from wires .

@sanivle Thank u for respecting abadoned places - in Poland lots of places like this was completly robbed (steel, cable, electronics) and rest of them like any glas or furniture destroyed.... "leave only prints of shoes, take with you only a photos" ~ Explorators of Poland

Even his laptop is old

Wow, this hard drive has all the 90s classics, so much nostalgia.

It's all fun and games till you get a computer virus from the mid 90's...

I always wanna go back and play the Metro and Stalker series after i watch these kind of videos.

I loved your video, thanks!

Interesting content, I would like to see more of this, Subbed!

Yes you should do more this kinda thing is interesting asf

bro made a good decision to lock himself, i imagine if he had to run but windows still was on update

I think you should be prepared more with the software side of things in your computer (also maybe upgrade to better battery or make/buy big power bank). My suggestions are: a) install some os in Virtualbox (DOS, WIN95, WinXP maybe even Linux). This way you can keep win10 on your pc (because of drivers etc.) and at the same time use older software. b) use DOSBox. This program can run programs written for dos (also for win 95). Win XP would not help here, because this pc was running win 95 and that system is based on DOS. Win XP is NT based system. It may work with compatibility mode, but I think DOSBox/VirtualBox on windows 10 is a better choice. Also, I love this kind of content. It is interesting to see, what is left behind in old computers and dug into it.

Very interesting. Would have been nice to sse whats on the other PC :D Maybe next time get a Power Bank which is capable of charging your laptop. Actually there is one directly from DELL which also should be compatible with your laptop :)

"I mean, you know, sometimes you dont need to go you know, to big factories to find something interesting" Your voice looks like Farengar Secret-Fire from Skyrim(tone and accent) :P Great vid

now this is the content i want on my recomended

Please do more this was really interesting :)

This channel is so interesting... bet it'll blow up

sanivle goals is beyond our understanding

this is cool content dude ! :)) the intro looks like escape from tarkov lol

Everything is so old me: how the frick is the toilet paper and the detergent and sht around that place still intact

did you sharpie over all the key caps? :D also, look into something like virtual box, so you carry multiple vintage OSs on modern hardware

Hey man, great content!!!

Cool video, look forward to watching more.

Dude, post this games some where! they are gold!

Great job!! This is most interesting, greetings from Argentina, new sub

what a fascinating microcosm of urbexxing, as a computer nerd myself i applaud your efforts. Only thing i would do differently is do a drive image copy so i could bring it back locally and mess with it in a much more convenient environment. That and possibly take the hdd to destroy it depending on whats on it. Though its iffy on whether you should do that or not.

This was such a good video!

Good video man. Very interesting.

That graph looking game is actually a puzzle where you fill in squares using the number on the left and top to create a picture. Almost like connect the dots but harder

Hey dude, I recommend when you check out the hard drives, you should copy what you want to open into the laptop before opening, because when you open the programs directly from the drive, some of the files change and you basically overwrite them. If you want you can delete them after, but this is just so you don't modify the original drive

this looks like something out of a post apocalyptic movie or game

2021 archaeology: recovering data from 1990 computer.

That was interesting to see. Never expected to find a place like this and people didn't steal everything.

That's a great collection of games.

I would recommend to have a power bank to power drives like that so it wont drain your laptop battery, also trying to boot the drive, not reading the data from it, this will give you the experience they had back then.

11:32 *Christmas tree, wonderful* :D

EXCELLENT VIDEO BROTHER, GREETINGS FROM COSTA RICA!

Happy New Year Bro 🎉

In Mexico all those things would have disappeared long time ago. Even the doors, the windows and the pumps. A few meters from my home there was a convenience store which later was closed. Everything was dismantled in a matter of months even the structure of the roof.

Wish there was an abandoned company building still full with retro tech like this where i live at...

I turned 2 years old when the folder was modified and quake 1 and 2 was my all time favourite pc game.

Doom and Duke 3D.. this gas station operator was a cultured man

go back and flip all the switches up! thats how you do it EVERY SWITCH and you got power

feels like a Fallout quest :D

Neat video! What kind of laptop is that?

"Woah, there's nothing" Made me cry, lol

Stalker 2 is looking amazing!

5:23 Wait a minute, I had this exact case in the early 2000's! I still remember that the Power button is very bad (it got deeply stuck).

Damn those older computers are worth a lot used online. I'd take them with me!

Hi nice work 🙂Greetings from Poland 🙂

The title should be: Trying to play old games in abandoned gas station.

Good video buddy 👍👍👍

those keyboards looked like mechanical ones, i would for sure have taken one with me.

daaaamn! 1992/2006 28/29 years later and you've explored it.. it might have been worth checking to see if the company still existed, maybe they closed that gas station due to issues but the company still exists and some of those files and documents might may be useful.... also you know doom and quake but not the tetris knock offs? =p

by watching this video i noticed that the most important part of a computer is actually its hard drive and thankfully normally this is the part that lasts the most, unless for, you know, physical damage if your entire computer is wrecked but the hdd is still alive, and you get another computer and set up your old hdd there, so it is more likely that you basically did not switch computers at all so any processor can process stuff, any ram can deal with the same stuff generally speaking, but what keeps the story alive, what has the precious information is the hdd

Tip: You could try to run the apps on compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3 or older, there's a great chance it will work (because I've tried so)

old hard drive: chilling, doing nothin this guy: zdrazvuytye

3:14 "Everything's so old, it's stuck in old times."... *Then proceeds to look at a fax machine which businesses still actually use.* lol, just shows you how old that technology actually is.

Man, please share the windows XP installation video!😂 and also the overview! Those days were cool.

I would have cloned the disk instantly. You could have than explored the other PC aswell.

you could boot from the bios screen into the orginal operating system from that hard drive

I would have lifted those computers, I'm obsessed with old hardware

Right-click on the game icon then go to properties and then click on the Compatibility tab and then select the OS that you want to go with.

It's very amazing this hard drive is still working in a bad climate and has files from 1992. Probably don't need expensive backup options. Just store the old hard drive and never use it. You can use DosBox to run these games.

It seems like most of those games are DOS games, maybe try to bring a version of DOSBox and try to run the games that way, or better yet, bring a version of PCem and try to boot the drive as an emulated old computer.

i wonder if those people who work in the gas station still around and still remember the place

everybody: Tetris a bored gas station employee from 1992: BRICKS

you can right-click properties and compatibility and run this program in compatibility mode for

See's cut in footage while heading to the back of building, no water damage or water in building with door open.

Will do you do a video trying running all the archive of the past ? To use windows Xp

8:35 You need either a computer with MS-DOS or DosBox or Windows 9x which core runs on DOS.

imagine finding the rickrolled video on that drives

What cords did you use to get the power and the data from the old hard drive to your laptop? Could you provide a link to them?

I would 100% yoink that fridge

It's like Tarkov but no guns and scavs and PMC xD

i love how he describes doom

great video bro love it! greetings from luxembourg

8:12 DAAAAMN! This is one 90s treasure chest!

Great video as always

So there were no screws on the back of that tower and no screws holding that hard drive in but there were screws holding in the drive above it? MonkaHmm

Nice video! try to use Dosbox to play the games of the hard drive, it emulates MS-DOS

you can get a VM set up and have different versions of legacy windows for different applications, then all you have to do is pas through the Hard drive and the software will work!

Nice abandoned find just a friendly trip you should carry a older laptop with you like windows XP’s or windows visa in case you find old computers like this

i think finding doom on a pc shuld be a level up...like a collection...have a counter ya know
