Dieselpunk + Steampunk Culture
My main hard drive is clicking the click of death
Remember my hard drive in your prayers tonite.
It started clicking on Saturday night and it's been locking up like crazy. Its replacement won't be in until later this week, so I may be a little behind on my Dieselpunks content until then.
For those who don't work with computers, the inside of a hard drive looks like a metal record player. If there's a clicking noise coming from it, that means one of the "records" isn't balanced correctly and is striking one of the other "records" or the "arm." There's no way to fix this once it starts happening.

Ouch. I hope it's not nothing too serious.

It's dead, Jim.
My Windows installation, including all of my programs need to be completely rebuilt.
Thankfully, I keep my user data on a separate drive.

I know that sound all too well.. I hope you're able to retrieve the crucial info before it dies..
