    You're in the military. You'll get some.

    Also, you're in the military. They're not going to you; they're going to your supervisor.

    Oh give it time. My website's pretty benign and I still get hate mail regularly....and my topics are cliche. Good luck, soldier.

    yeah, apparently the first person in the chain of command being the one you have a problem with only applies if you want the problem to stop. Unfortunately, the only thing the bitter assholes in the military want is for someone to be punished.

    That wasn't that bad of a review but i could see how it would piss off some crazy fans. Then again its not hard to piss off crazy fans.

    Perplexingly, sometimes Linux can read a disk other operating systems can't. Try booting up a livecd to see if it'll read it. And if it can, back it up immediately.

    Thanks MKR, I'll give that a shot. I'm fairly sure its a mechanical or power malfunction within the drive, but I'm up for anything at this point. Honestly other than losing my music, its not the end of the world, I would like to recover that work though.

    I should probably look into backing up more stuff online, or at least getting a stable drive to drop my shit into.

    What they're charging $500 for is to do (usually) two things:
    1: Find a replacement logic board if that's the problem, and if they can find one
    2: Hammer the crap out of every byte until it comes out (reading each sector over and over)

    Linux's disk drivers might actually try #2 more than other systems, so that might be why it works.

    If you can manage to find an exact match of the drive (same part number), but one that works, you can try switching the logic board yourself. It's pretty easy. Only a couple of screws and a ribbon cable. I have saved a drive by doing this on occasion.

    the wd5000aajs is pretty damn common, and looking online its going rate is like 50 bucks now, so I guess that's another option. The thing is making a very very low hum and nothing else. no clicks or wrrrs. I'm worried that the damn thing is having some sort of catastrophic failure and cant move.

    Never before have I worried that I would have to pick and choose what to keep in my portfolio and what to leave out...I always thought I'd have "too few" pieces...hmm

    For a print portfolio, I'm sure "have between x and x number of pieces" absolutely applies.....but I've seen both "thinned out" online portfolios, with maybe only 6 pieces in them, and "fuller" online portfolios that have like...30 pieces in them.

    Hmmmmmmm....when I finally post stuff, I'll ask you guys what you think I should keep and what I should remove.

    The hum just about has to be the disk spinning. The lights are on, but no one is home.

    That means it might just be a fried logic board. :rotate:

    It used to make a much louder peculating water sort of sound when it was "thinking" or accessing data before, though. That sound is entirely absent.

    That's probably the sound the head makes when it's seeking, which would be absent if it's braindead.

    http://www.datarecovery.org/hard-disk-components.html

    The motor under the spindle makes the hum, and the actuator arm can be very noisy when it's moving. You can also see that it's extremely simple on the inside, which is why a logic board failure is almost always the problem.

    Speaking of movies, I watched the SyFy (blugh) original Alice last night, and it was remarkably good for a SyFy (hork!) original!

    Like, the acting was actually pretty good, and the special effects worked well within their budget.

    On the same logic, I wonder if I could make megabucks on a book about a romance between a chubby guy and a gingerbread woman.

    My landlords show everybody what petty dicks they continue to be by trying to swindle the Italian guy who stayed here for four days and then left due to stress with them over many minor issues about which they were being unreasonable out of about 150 euros of his security deposit or whatever for something which possibly shouldn't even cost that much. Of course, the main issue is that he didn't do what they're claiming he did, since the landlord told one of my other housemates that the problem (a broken tap) was even from before the Italian guy ever came here. They're obviously just trying to con him out of money because they love money.

    Thank god he's going to fight it. Fuck, I'm glad they fucked off to Belgium.
