How can you trust only one computer to keep your most precious datas... ?! I can't understand.
I originally had them on my computer's hard drive and an external. The last week of last semester, my computer's logic board took a dive, and I had to get it fixed by Apple who, in their infinite wisdom, decided to wipe my hard drive completely. So there goes one copy.
For some stupid reason, I never copied the mixes back over from my external to my computer's HDD. This came back to bite me in the ass yesterday when said external decided to just stop working. I also lost all the files to my nearly-completed Star Wars edit when this happened.
And Moth3r, if you could RapidShare the 77 mono/stereo mixes and the '93 mixes and PM me the links, that would be fantastic!
ah, it's an external drive. You may be in luck then. Is it a 3.5" external? If so then take the drive out of the external housing and pop it into either another computer or into a new external drive housing. Many times when an external drive dies it is actually the controller board in the housing that goes and the drive is fine. Even if it's a 2.5" one you can try it in a new housing (or if its a SATA drive this can be tried in a PC too)
Every external drive that died on me, and other people i know, it was the controller board in the housing that was at fault and the drive was fine, or just needed a drive scan to fix any problems.
