And I think the D drive has bit the dust :( Not good as it was running so slowly that I didn't manage to get more than 1/3 of my stuff transferred off of it. Now everytime I try to open the drive I get the "this drive has not been formatted, would you like to format the drive?" message. Hell no I would not because then everything is gone. Does anyone have any idea as to how to get around that?

Sooooooooooo many movie/music files are going to be lost now. Le sigh. I'll be posting wish lists as soon as I can do a run down of the important things which are gone.

For now I'm off for the day to do something that does not involve my computer for a while. I heard my roommate get up around 10 and went out to say hi to her as she was having breakfast and she was all "oh you slept in finally!" (as I looked like I'd just fallen out of bed I'm sure) and I had to tell her that no, I'd been up since 7 as well as getting up several times in the night to try to transfer more files. To which she replied "oh... then you look really really tired." Clearly I need a break from all things computer until tonight :)

Ouch ... I got that message when my hard drive crashed. Luckily I didn't lose anything, since I'd just been given the computer used, but I have no idea how to bring it back at that point. I had someone look at it who knows much more than me, and he said the hard drive was completely fried -- can't even be reformatted. :-(

Actually everything is still on the drive, I've been having great sucess using a program called Active File Recovery :)

I have a similar program for my Mac, although I've never needed to use it -- yet. *crosses fingers*
