Happened to me, happens to a lot of people.

Learn your lesson and backup everything you have.

Then back it up again.
 
what causes this? Im about to cop a external drive with all these thread popping up
 
I have an external that I cant get my comp
to read. Do I need a driver installed or something?
Any help appreciated.
 
Been there, and it's not fun. Losing a TERA worth of stuff is not cool

. Try using raid as a way of keeping your stuff safe. You'll have less space, but your stuff will always be safe.
 
I feel for you fam, lol. Out of curiosity, what were you doing at the time it crashed? And what kinda computer is it?

Happened To me Tuesday. Made a post about it. I don't know where your located but there are places that can attempt data recovery. I found one place for$300 and then there's always this one expensive #!% company called data recovery. They said they can potentially get it all back but for $300-$1700 so...But yea good luck. My data is almost irreplaceable (glad i had all my mp3s on my iPod) but I gotta get back all my pics...

I should probably backup some day. My OG black Macbook crashed one day... a week before finals, and I had all my notes on my computer. They replaced it and gotit back in working order for free, at least.
 
^lol. yeah man. it's not like some crazy tech.
a separate internal drive in the tower, and an external via USB (yeah yeah, I know)

I don't mess with the backup software...I just move files over on a monthly basis

- nothing 'causes' this. its just something you cannot avoid. statistically your hard drive WILL FAIL on you. the only.....ONLY remedy is to have morethan one, because statistically having 2 hard drives fail at once is like lightning striking the same place twice.

- just get another hard drive and periodically move all of your important files from one hard drive to the other......
