My dumb ass....
My dumb ass.... Posted on: 23.06.2012 by Shantae Faile So literally During the same week I told someone in here about my raid setup on my MacBook pro, and how it was so stable, I end up getting a disc failure...It wasn't so much because the raid, it was more because I had the disc spinning vigirously and ended up closing it shut and shaking it up (from picking it up and putting it in my bag). So now of corse I have a dead drive, meaning tHat the whole raid is fuc***d, and don't know how to save it. I currently have the drive in the freezer hopes it gets works long enough to back up. But I really need to get my info off of there. I got about a years worth of stuff on that that isn't backed up. All my newest sets, and sets for upcoming gigs, my tsptutor stuff, all my marketing materials for my clients, etc. Anyone able to provide some help? | |

| Brunilda Kora 23.06.2012 | It's a lesson we all have to learn. Unfortunately, some of us (me included) have had to learn it the hard way. Best of luck to you, mate. |
| Lorna Hagerty 23.06.2012 | http://www.xyber.com.au/ sad to hear that man, but I know you'll back up everything from now on. |
