And the Hard Disk died…
My hard disk died. Died. Just like that. I don’t even have the chance to recover files from it. Sigh~ ![]()
It was doing fine until late morning today. I was happily seeding the anime I just leeched since midnight. After that, I decided to stop seeding because my connection was a bit laggy. After I stopped the seeding, my computer starts to act weird. I was playing some song on my Foobar, but it jams every once in a while. I knew that there’s something wrong with the computer.
Then, when I decided to watch the anime I downloaded to that drive, my computer hangs. I heard a very uncomfortable hard disk sound coming from the CPU. “Bad… something bad is going on..”, that was on my thought that time. So, I ran check disk on the drive, and my computer hangs halfway in Phase 4. Since the HDD Led is still blinking, I decided to wait. All of a sudden, the BSOD pop up. Ouch! BSOD ON WinXP!!!
I reseted my PC, and this is what appears on my screen when detecting Hard Disk:

Don’t look at the processor’s speed. Look at the detection error.
It is officially dead. The reasons for its death are:
1. It is old.
2. It is old.
3. It is damn freaking old.
It’s a 4GB drive. You don’t see a hard drive has a capacity as small as that anymore. I guess this is a bad sunday for the hard disk. By the way, I lost 13 episodes of unwatched various anime. Looks like I have to redownload all the 2GBs of anime. And what’s even worst is that I lost all my designs files for my Clueless Dream revamp. Looks like I have to recode everything for my new theme. It’s a bad sunday after all.
So, now I declare that this hard disk is officially dead after years serving my friend and around 2 years serving me.
Sigh~ I lost 4GB of precious space on my computer.

hmm…it’s a bit odd, harddisks usually don’t just simply broken like that…
but, hey, just take it as a warning from the digital world: do as we say, buy a new one, never keep the old (old is defined as more than 1 year, in this case :p )
4 GB, eh? maybe we can a built an iPod the size of your dead harddisk

I have a working 420 MB drive here you can have.
Yes as in Megabyte. Still works fine and I can’t find any use for the thing.
