Hard drive dead :(  
This month hasn't started well; first food poisoning and now it looks as if my external hard drive is dead. :( Gone with it is all my "fun" stuff: screen caps, Photoshop *.psd files, textures & brushes & a thousand downloads for Photoshop, videos...100 GB of cool stuff. *sigh*

I'll be buying a new one -- and it's not as if I lost valuable work stuff -- but it's my "Having Fun" drive. Damn. March has not been kind to me thus far. Sure hope it's done messing with me.
 
 
Current Mood: disappointed

Re: Freezer trick?
Hey, you! Very, very, very good to hear from you. Put your feet up; stay awhile. :) This drive gave me one warning that it was failing but since everything came up fine after a reboot I didn't recognize it for what it was. Now it powers up but doesn't spin and the CPU doesn't "see" it.

Freezing is worth a try because I'd be grateful to not have to start over from scratch. I have absolutely nothing to lose and I'd like to keep my money. I actually want to get a new CPU soon-ish and I'd rather spend computer bucks on that instead.

Today is a new day and a very cautious approach to food has me feeling a million times better. :) Hope you're staying warm. It looks to be wickedly cold and miserable up your way today. Hugs to you and to M!
