Harddrive failure maybe... no worries

[Ziroc]

Well, Lightning hit nearby yesterday, and at first, nothing looked wrong. Then, I was outputting my soundcard to the TV, as I do each day for Big Brother sometimes and music, and there was NO SOUND!. (The digital out is dead) and NOW, the F: drive is clicking every hour now, and it clicks once, and the light stays on (HD Light) and you hear it spinning up, then the system locks hard.

It's a SLAVE drive, so C: is fine. But I must place it, because I have way too much stuff on there. Thank god I just did a backup last week of EVERYTHING (nearly 30 CD's).

But EfU will be back up in an hour or so.. I am doing a diskcheck now. Hope it's not the I/O controller on the motherboard. [img]smile.gif[/img] Naa..

Um, any donations are welcomed! Shit.. I hate Florida weather. ugh
It's a 40GB, but the 60GB's are like 80 dollars (90 with tax), so any help is welcomed)

EfU will be up in an hour (around 4:30pm Thursday) [img]smile.gif[/img] Hope that was ALL that went wrong. ugh
