I saw this tonight on my 200 GB external drive and my heart sank. This is the drive that holds all my my music, movies, document backups – EVERYTHING! It started out as a backup drive for my desktop but quickly grew into my primary drive when I travel. My desktop only has 120 gigs, so I started using the desktop as the backup for my external – I didn’t have the money to buy another hard drive for the desktop and do it the correct way.
We ordered a new computer from Dell this week with beau coup storage, and I had planned on backing everything when it arrives, like I should be doing . . .
I want to cry.
I’m hoping that it’s just the drive enclosure and not the drive itself. That I can live with!
Hey Saman,
That sucks – I can’t imagine. Its something I fear of big time too! I try to backup all important stuff on cd-r’s/dvd-r’s as well just to be safe, but honestly don’t do it often enough – if something happened to my 250gb external I would cry.
Let me know how it turns out – hopefully there is a happy ending to this story.
it sucks when the hard disk fail, but you can get your data using recovery program in most case
