Random Rants

[Finn666]

looks like my external hard drive is fekked…with ALL of my stuff (pics, music, movies, vids, etc.) on it!

anyone ever had problems with the computer not "finding" your external though it is plugged in and running?...
IIRC it dropped on the floor the other day and now, it somehow doesn´t work anymore!

is there any chance i can get it running again?...

[Finn666]

owning this one from WD btw.!

I have same one… Well, a couple of those... If it's still running, I wouldn't be too worried... Try plugging it in another computer, perhaps?..

Trusting all your backup to a single external drive is a recipe for disaster, mate. Personally, I would supplement it with an off-site service. I use both of these and think they're both excellent:

Definitely try it on another machine though.

My cousin who is a photographer has a saying…if you don't have it on two places, you don't have it.

Waiting for Injunjack to post a rant about the snowstorm that hit us starting yesterday. 6 inches of snow at the moment and counting…

Jii, IJ hasn´t got time for writing rants…he´s outside shovelling!

[injunjack]

I'm so pissed off about it that I have to refrain posting…this is a familyfriend forum...

And Jii, if this makes you smile, you're welcome to do some serious snovelin' after 16.00 hours when it's full dark, no light

Sorry, have to attend the company's Christmas party

To be fair, I live in the city and my work is at the other end of the street I live in so I'm a bit spoiled…

That's an announcement not a rant (unless you fecked it up)…..

IH Jacket cant be fekked.

I guess Im fekked..posting it in wrong thread..

[Megatron1505]

Yeh, expand on that one man. I did mine with no issues  :-\

[Friday]

No problem at all Mega.. The thing is Ive tried looking specifically for the one you suggested, i.e. silicon based for canvas(tents etc) but couldnt find one.

So was adviced by this guy at the store to try the one for textile *not silicon based) and so I did. Have sprayed once and  waiting for it to dry a bit and gonna spray it for the 2nd time just to make sure.

[Megatron1505]

Phew thank god for that. I thought you'd followed my advice, and ruined it….glad it's working out man

Finn I have the same hdd and same problem. When I can actually open the hard drive it usually crashes after about 10 seconds. Or of I try to move/copy files. Just out of curiosity are you using FireWire or USB?
