... fuck....
still...perhaps I can finally get em to buy me a new one..:)...
gotta look on the bright side....
I feel like that Micael Landy...the artist guy who destroyed all his possesions ...I've lost sooooo much art work; hopefully it' something simple but maybe it's a good chance to begin again....
Fuck the past...

Its not very nice when you loose data - its happened to me. Working in IT I'm allways preaching the importance of backing up, and then one time I got careless moving data between two harddisk or partitions - and lost the lot!
I was stunned.....gobsmacked! There was nothing anyone could say or do for me. I lost 6 months worth of work. One consolation was, that second time around, the recreated documents were better....but its not the case is it?
Anyway, I hope everything is OK, and you haven't lost anything!

it's a lovely Samsung GT8000...
My little baby is ill...I feel like some parent whose child has dissapeaed...
Still...I'm gonna get this fucker working if it's the last thing I do...NO computer has ever been able to resist my tech magic....
Luckily, we have a new shipment in of higher spec ones....so I gonna grab one tommorrow and see if the HD works in that...
I think the HD is ok...it doesn't evne get as far as accessing it so I reckon it's something else and I can just pop the HD in another Laptop and go from there....
Thanks for the word of consolation, people...much appreacited...
Gonna take some sleeping pills now so I can forget about it for a few hours...

I reckon you can just pop a new hard drive in it and it should pop up instantly, none of my Mactops have ever crashed.
