Dude, do you still have that drive that died on you, or did you throw it away already? I'm asking, because I have two external drives that I thought had died on me, but in fact it was the circuit board from the casing itself that had died not the drive itself. I removed the drive from the casing and put it in a new casing and voila, good as new. I still have both drives that were supposedly dead - data and all. An new external case can cost as little as $15. At that price, it's worth a try.
damn fool. hahaha. hope you didn't lose anything. must me something in the air because my computer's logic board died on me too around the same time. all is good now. But I feel your pain.
I started on Sunday and it ended today. My harddrive is alive and kicking again. i'm transferring all important documents to another harddrive for safe keeping. I used a program called SPINRITE.... Took long. I was doubtful at times, but it does work. I had to swap the hard drive chip because mine was fried from a thunderstorm.
oue, i caught this vid the first time around. and like i said back then, i am liking your singing! however it totally sucks that you can't make a full video because of that effin drive! :(
Man, I just found out they don't last long cause folks leave them on all day and eventually wear down. I think I'm switching to a solid state hard external. I think I'd DIE if my joint broke.
dude same thing happened to mine i lost over 4000 songs of classic hip hop :( but youll b happy to know you can pick up external drives really cheap like a terobyte of space for less than 100 bucks
Well, external drives are essential regular hard drives with a power supply. So, you can just open it up and try plugging it directly into your tower to retrieve your data (unless you're a mac user, then you fail at life).
I've had a Western Digital 1TB hard drive for quite some time now. No problems yet, but this has me a little nervous about all that precious porn--er, analytical essays, i have stored on it.
Don't throw it out yet! Put your drive in the freezer for a few hours. This causes the magnetic discs to contract and reallign. This should allow you to access (and hopefully) transfer over files to another source. Note that this works "sometimes" and isn't guaranteed. I've had an 80% success rate with hard drives using this method. Hope it helps, I mean it beats throwing the thing away no?
(In response to the description) Why would the loss of an external hard drive prevent you from making videos? Your videos are typically only a couple minutes long. They should each take up so much space that you need a separate hard drive to store them all.
I use an external hard drive to record onto and edit on, if I do everything on my laptop's main drive it tends to run too slow and get dropped frames and such..
Thank you for this.
