The drive is dead, long live the drive.

Posted on July 27, 2004 By admin 8 Comments on The drive is dead, long live the drive.

 

After trying every trick I knew, I still can't boot onto that drive. I vented my frustration on it. Sadly, I only had my leatherman available at the office. I could have done more carnage at home. Still, this'll have to do.


Just a side note, when was the last time *you* did a backup?

    impressive! i'm sure it won't misbehave again… infact you can be sure it won't be doing anything again, and from the sounds of it, thats not a bad thing!

    you could try… say something like, it kept taunting boris and as such was defective prior to any damage being inflicted up on it, and young cats should not be taunted to any degree…

    alternativly you could say it came it like, and you took a wild guess that it no longer worked…

    alternativly you could just say it came like that…

    alternativly you could take it home and inflict further damage, missery and pain up on it…

    alternativly you could just put it in the bin…

    whatever works for you really ;)

    I just wish I had a hammer and a large pair of pliers at the office. Then you could see hard-drive art :)

    I can just see the face of the customer support rep when he sees the picture and reads “my cat did this… does this void the warranty?”

    I should do it, just to make them laugh. Poor buggers.

    Ever seen 'Office Space'? We could take it out to a field and go crazy. Catch it on tape for posterity!
