Oh, and technological issues, while I'm at it
Hey, flist!
Can anyone help me with this? I got an external hard drive in January, and it started malfunctioning in February. Then I got sidetracked for a while, and yesterday when I plugged it in... nothing happened.
The thing itself is working. The blue light goes on when I plug it in (although it doesn't flash the way it did when it was "connecting" before), and I can hear it whirring away in there.
So at this point I'm willing to call the HD itself a loss and replace it, but I would ideally like to recover the nearly 50GB of stuff I have on there, which took a lot of time and trouble to accumulate.
Is this feasible? How would I do that when I can't get it to connect to my computer?
Halp!
