All too often I see the same scenario “I ran CHKDSK and now my data is corrupt”.
The wrong way
The hard disk is physically failing, and you let CHKDSK /R or CHKDSK /F run on it. Running CHKDSK on a failing hard drive is basically suicide for your data. CHKDSK is not a data recovery utility. [...]
So here I was at some forsaken mall at Cheesecake Factory.
While waiting for the order, I figured why not go check out what\’s new at [[Hot Topic]], which is one of my favorite stores.
I spotted a new CD by [[Judas Priest]], a double-CD release for $16.99. Now, that was cool. I haven\’t bought a CD in who knows how long, but this I had to have. The cover advertised a free ticket to the show.
I looked at the back, and much to my surprise, there is a date on August 31, 2008 at Shoreline in Mountain View.
The pleasant surprises continued at the cash register. The CD was actually only $11.99.
As a result of a supremely boring dinner, I got a reason to block off my day for August 31 with my free ticket to see Judas Priest live!
The last time I saw them was [[Ozzfest]] 2004 where I was a sponsor VIP. They absolutely stole the show!
I am excited!
This is rather interesting.
All my life I\’d been testing as ENTP. Now that I finally figured out all my business strategies and began to successfully execute them, I\’ve become an ENTJ, according to this test.
That\’s rather fascinating because apparently as you move from having an employee\’s mindset to having a business owner\’s mindset, that changes the personality this much.
Hmm, however, I still feel that I am an ENTP.
I\’ll be looking into this for more insight when I find more time.
On the Internet, I am known as wiseleo on just about every system. Even my lovely car wears the \”Wise Leo\” license plate. In short, I am really not a modest person and make no attempt to conceal this fact. Whether it\’s a strength or a weakness depends on your perspective, with which I am fine regardless of your choice.
You can very quickly run your background check on me now. There will be a few thousand hits and most of them will be on me.
However, on this system wiseleo is owned by some lady. Rather than settling for wiseleo2, wiseleo_, wiseleo_k or some other unimaginable nonsense, I decided to crown myself king.
You are welcome to serve me.
Ordinarily, only about 1% of hard disks are affected by a motor seizure failure.
However, we see a trend where a large number of problems with external HDDs wind up with this very expensive problem. This is an abnormal trend and there is only one factor that significantly increases its likelihood of occurrence.
External hard disk spindle [...]
