Default I get to work with Billy!

Well Zwan anyway. I've just written a mini series called He Kills Coppers and (rights permitting) we're using the cover of Number of the Beast over a climactic battle between police and hippies at Stonehenge. Rock on!

getting the drive replaced after work today. thankfully it's under warranty, so i'm not out any $$. If I had $100 to spare, he'd recover my lost data for me. If they let me hang onto the dead drive rather than having to send it back to apple, I'll pay to do that at some point in the future. Thanks for thinking of me pal.

i'm just sad that i lost the song i was working on
maybe i can get it all back though, I'll keep my hopes up for it.

this is a lesson to me to always use my external drive for my music. I should've been doing that anyway.

Ooh, yeah. That's crucial. I had an extra drive to keep my recordings (project files and finished WAVs and whatnot), but I had let my recording software save the audio data to the default location rather than the folders I made on the other drive. So, when my Windows partition had a severe hiccup one day and I had to reinstall it, I forgot to copy the audio data over and lost everything. I mean, I still had the songs and project files, but it didn't do me any good to work on them because I lost the individual tracks. So now I've got a 500GB SATA drive where all that stuff goes directly, lol.

Actually, I don't think I've really touched Windows much since then.

Also, to answer SlingeroGuitaro, Western Digital is great and Maxtor is good too.

Western Digital makes the MyBook which works great on Mac and Windows.

If he is only charging you 100$ to recover the data then it must not be that hard to recover the data. You would be better off just buying a copy of spin right for 80% and doing it yourself. I always feel like I"m ripping off people for PC repair, but man I really need to charge more. 100$ to recover data, damn.

i have 1 mybook, but it doesn't write fast enough. i guess i should have specified- i use the harddrives as a recording medium, not just to back stuff up. i have an 80g maxtor that i have had for about 6 years. i think i paid close to $200 for it then.

Might want to look into replacing that drive. 6 years is getting towards the end of the life span of any drive.

I have a 30 mb drive that came in a pc I bought about 15 years ago that still works perfectly. Every now and then I'll use it if I'm having trouble getting a PC to boot.

Billy gave me a song for a project I was working on, but unless he has an input on your project it isn't really working together is it?

I made the mistake of putting 'worked with Billy corgan' on a press release for it, only to be corrected later on.

Basically you get to pay Billy to promote his song.
