Dammit, Packard Bell. >(
I got myself a new External HD, with 250gb. I could come pick it up last Saturday morning, and was all happy (of course).
I used it this Saturday without problems and sunday morning as well, before I shut everything down and left for the brother's housewarming party.
And then I came back Sunday evening. I booted my computer, plugged in Yassan (my first external HD), and tried to plug in my new one, tentatively called Maru.
And it's dead! I think it's the cord, because it has a light in there that didn't work when I plugged it in, but that means my new piece of shiny isn't working either.
I'll be going to the store this afternoon, demanding a new cord. I've already transfered almost 100gb to Maru so the dad could have his external back, so I don't want a new one. I want my Maru alive!
Maybe it was a bad choice of name after all. *shot!*
[Edit] It was the cord as I'd suspected, and everything's working just fine again! ♥
