About 300 GB. As embarrassing as this is, I plugged an incorrect power source into it, left for about 5 minutes and came back to a smoking heap of burnt plastic.........

This is so fucking easy to do with a bunch of audio hardware it's unreal... shit needs to start using kettle leads as standard rather than having external power adapters. Or at least have unique power supplies that can't be mixed up, like my Lacie drive.

I mixed up my Korg MS2000 and KAOSS pad the other day, turns out they have different voltages on their supplies, thankfully nothing exploded.

I once put a 220 adapter on my printer's plug, we had transformers but I wasn't thinking. I heard a sound, the lights went out and then I smelled smoke.

England you might want to consider storing your data on something slightly safer than a hard drive. The cheap, practical solution is an array of hard drives. The expensive, bothersome, but pretty much invulnerable solution is putting that shit on tapes.

Yeah, I actually make backup DVDs with all my shit when I remember, but I still didn't have 50% of it backed up. I bought a new computer with a 500GB internal drive, so now I'll have that + an external drive for safety.

The hard drive had every piece of music I own, every photo I have taken since I was 12, music I have made, etc., etc. It could have been cheaper, but no one could get the disc to spin because the logic board was fucked. I used a fairly well known company to do everything..........the damage was abnormally severe given the circumstances.

Yeah, the majority of my music (well over 100K tracks), was not pirated, so $1600 was a small price to pay, considering.

Yeah, I had similar information on my drive .. but I can see why it cost so much now after reading about how it got damaged. My drive just randomly crashed, there was no physical damage to it.

But I would recommend you dedicating a couple days to just sit down and back up all your information onto DVDs. It took me a couple days to back everything up and about 80 DVDs, but it was worth it.

fuck

someone insisted I download 'virtual dj' said it's cool for fucking around, maybe just make a mix to play in the car. So I get it off oink, install it. Serial code works, program opens. But music wont play, track progress bar thingy is not moving. So I get mad and close it. Open itunes and now none of my music plays, same thing. No sound, no movement in bar. WMP pops up and says it doesnt have access to the file (tried like 5 now). Not all are mp3's, I even tried a couple different file types.

But, I can hear solitaire sounds just fine.

WTF.

edit: windows update last night I think, my computer was restarted..and I dled the newest AIM, which now prompts some .Net framework error whenever I open it. Ugh.

[onemancult]

virtual dj is wack

fix your shit.

[Guest DUM]

system restored before the update last night, that was the problem. fuck windows.

[innit]

[Guest DUM]

[onemancult]

superconfession: i think almondcrush hates me and i wish i knew why so i could make it up to him with sexual favors.

[Guest DUM]

Don't remember, sorry. And I don't have any invites. You don't get any until you become a Power User+ or donate a little. Well, I'm poor and my ratio is subpar. So you'll all have to wait if you want one from me.
