Another one bites the dust…
Well, I think my huge external drive just bit the dust. It won’t spin up or get recognized. There are (expensive) ways to save the data but at the moment a lot/most of it is just sentimental. Just when I got my leg up in other areas of life, I get pushed back again.
Still a bit numb, still a bit dizzy.
I haven’t internetted much recently, other then some videos and whatnot, at the risk of being a bit of an oversharer. Things have been a bit of a mess and I’m doing my best to keep it together. It’s been chaotic, but not all bad by any means. Some awesome things on the horizon so I can’t let this stuff get me down too far.

Put it in a plastic ziplock bag and throw it in the freezer overnight. In the morning, install it and start it up and see if it works.

Freeze your harddrive! I was able to temporarily resurrect one of my old drives that way.

Yup! That just happened to me this week. I am hoping and praying I can get it to run again just long enough to get my data. Has all my music and media.
