I recently had a local disk problem and lost my entire BOINC directory. Looking in my RESULTS page, I see I still have some <b>in progress</b> work units signed out to me. How do I get them back to me so I can reprocess them or how do I tell the server that I'm no longer working them? <img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-858.jpg"><img src="http://boincview.amanheis.de/boincview_small.png"> |

Sadly, there is no way of asking the server to reallocate the same WUs to you. The only way to go back to them would be if you had a backup - and if you had you would not be asking the question :( |

Each project has the same problem and each is now processing a new set or WUs. My problem is that I do not know enough about the <b>client_state.xml</b> file to attempt modifying it to merge the new WUs and the old WUs. <img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-858.jpg"><img src="http://boincview.amanheis.de/boincview_small.png"> |

So far as CPDN is concerned, you could restore the backup of the BOINC folder and carry on, swapping it with the current WU, but when running multi-project that presents its own complications. |

fyi: I was able to restore the older WU and modify the <b>client_state.xml</b> file so that my current WU was preserved and my older WU is recognized and <i>Ready to run</i>. <img src="http://www.boincsynergy.com/images/stats/comb-858.jpg"><img src="http://boincview.amanheis.de/boincview_small.png"> |
