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

It powers up. I hear the disk spin up, which it had stopped doing in the old enclosure.

Windows knows I've plugged it in (again, this is better than when it was in the old case) but I get the following error message:

USB Device Not Recognized
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.

Well, just arrange to get me the drive. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. I don't need the USB enclosure, just the drive itself. Maybe Joe can give it to me when we play St. Pats weekend or you can give it to me if you come out.

I was planning to attend the St. Paddy's Day show so I'll definitely bring it with me. Should I also bring a pack of blank DVDs or something to burn content to? (I'm thinking positive here.) While I couldn't care less about the backup info in the first partition, the graphics files and Photoshop resources would be lovely to have; I think that I have about 80-100GB of data on that partition. Let me know and I'll bring it all with me.

Thank you!
