Out’a nowhere my 320GB External HD decided to die. Watch the little LEDs go back and forth, but the drive doesn’t want to mount. Argh! jbb
My twitter moment-by-moment assessment of the situation follows:
- awesome, my ext. 320GB HD isn’t mounting on my desktop. hopefullly just a cable glitch. Alas, all my music/podcasts are on the ext. HD. damn #
- Failed ext HD totally disrupted my normal morning routine, no podcasts or music. Damn #
- Things not looking good 4 lil’ ext 320GB HD, new cable, new hub, LEDs sweeping back & 4th but not mounting. Damn. “Not ‘if’ but ‘when’” Arch!!! #
- while I’m in the whining mood, 4 some reason I couldn’t pull down my podcasts from home yesterday b4 work, so that might still be down. ack #
- Important files on ext 320GB hd r backed up. need 2 backup the whole thing when i get home. thk god i ordered 320GB int hd 4 the mbp #
