So I got high and drunk last night. Turned off my screen, left the computer on though, made a phone call and left someone a message. All happy, relaxed and tired I put my head on the pillow and fell asleep.

Woke up at 1:30pm and as usual I thought I'd check my email. When I turned on the screen my heart paused for a few seconds...I can't believe the bitch died on me. Just like that, no warning, nothing. Ran the Maxtor diagnostics program...nada. I can't believe I had all that shit on it that I hadn't made any back ups of yet. In the past 9 years I've built many systems for myself and other people, but this is the first time something like this actually happened to me. Ironically only a few months ago I mentioned to someone I've never had a HD just die on me like that. Yesterday I got a spindle of 100 DVD+R's and was planning on backing up some shit.

Now I gotta run to the store and get me a new one. [color=red:804f07d3ef]So beware folks, don't fuck with me today, I'm not in the mood.[/color]

so...how did you post on the Org today?

Yes, I should have known, but one more day and I would have made my back ups. Spending the money on a new HD isn't even what pisses me off the most, it's the fact that the other one was only 18 months old and never gave any read/write errors and now I lost a bunch of data. I mean we're talking about approx 60GB of porn, appz and most importantly a bunch of pics someone sent me.

Oh boy. That sucks but I think I can help you. Let me walk you through a "Hardrive boot recapture procedure":

Disconnect the motherboard's databank from the RAM input valve and let it sit (be sure to label the wires: red is data influx; yellow is data redux); while this is humming you can re-Java your whole memory card and wipe the "event" clean for maximum eco-parsing. While you are washing your dishes let the tachyon strip charge and then the elements for a recapture event (or "recap ev" as we experts call it) are all in place.

Reassemble the components following the steps backwards (but switch steps 3 and 4) and it should do the trick. You won't be able to use it, but...

I'm afraid I can't get those pics.

did u check everything u assbag? ide cables and everything?...

TheRealFiness said:

IDE cables, power cables, controllers, master, slave, , Power Max diagnostics, nothing works. Even tried it on two different systems, bitch keeps "bleeping", which in this case sounds like a cell phone ringing. hehe No, it's not the system speaker, it's the HD itself.
