you cannot fail. it is not allowed.

simple post coming up:

hard drive errors made it stop working at all
tried transferring shit off
appeared to finally work after 3 days of transferring
reformatted
tried putting stuff back on
found basically all the files were fucked
found the hard drive was completely fucked
broke it out of the external, put it in the place of my CD drive, reformatted and partitioned dozens of times
put back in external enclosure
now have 200GB of the original 300GB space back \o/
lost pretty much everything that was on it but fuck it, i have over 200 albums that i own to tide me over until i can start to rebuild my collection.

no fucking hard drive of mine is gonna fail, silly bastard. you can’t die. that’d be easy.
