So my external hard drive got knocked over last night, and now refuses to appear on my computer. This means all my video files, backup system stuff, backup music stuff, saved work, and all games are gone. About 50GB of data, which is already proving to be a real bitch to replace.

Which is awesome.

I'm going to take this thing over to the computer store and see what they think I should do. Typical luck, isn't it? I schlepped this thing all over the place this summer and first week back here it gets trashed....
