My less then 1 year old 200gb seagate harddrive. I had it in my computer as a slave drive. I had my music backed up as with tons of programs and pictures.
gone.
Thankfully I didnt lose a lot of my music files, Im not 100% sure what I did lose. all I know is I lost 100% of my samples (used when making music) I have about $800 worth on CDs the rest were riped off the net wink wink.
either way. another one bites the dust, and in this case. the drive wasnt even 6 months old!
Its under warranty or I should say it was before I pulled it apart to look for anything obvious that was wrong. I was just hoping to get it working long enough to pull some data off it. ohwell. Chit happens.
I didnt want to do a warranty replacment on it becuase of data that was kept on that drive. from riped samples to random programs. I'd rather just buy a new one.
plus 90 bucks gets you a new 300GB drive with zero wait and no hassles.
