Tech quiz!

  1. Who has two thumbs and a HD with read heads stuck?
  2. Who knows the dreaded "click-klirrrrrr" sound all too well?
  3. Who had wisely set up a system to monitor HDs, yet received no warning when shit came raining?
  4. Who at least got lucky when it was the secondary HD, not the primary HD, and all the losses can be accepted if some gentle percussive maintenance doesn't unlock the read heads?
  5. Who is going to get annoyed if the word "backups" is mentioned, since this HD was mainly tasked to do backups? But as luck would have it, it also had some content which was not backupped elsewhere.
If you answered "you", congratulations! You win a pounding migraine and some scathing rage fresh from the source.

Since I already once managed to unlock the read heads from their parking (but the main HD was powerless, so I couldn't do a backup) and show up in BIOS, I still might have a chance to recover at least some stuff. Worst case scenario, there's a data recovery shop in my city. But ARRRRRGH. Now I have to buy a new HD so I can get my stuff in working order. Entropy, I hate you.

rage, whining, windows, computers
