"I have been doing my job fine till date. Everyday you write on me, everyday you read off me. Give me some life. Give me a partner. Give me a load bearer is all I ask thy; you have not felt for me one single day, ah! recently yes, but its time I teach you a lesson, for which you will pay a VERY HEAVY price."
I'm sure this is what my hard drive had to say for me. So have been saving for a few months now, and 'tomorrow' I was all set to get a redundant hard drive for some data backups. Well the word 'some' is heavily low standard here. Nevermind. My initial backup disk died a few months back and that was the past and this is the present..
So, I return from dinner and my system was shut just 1 hour back. I power it on and go loitering around & I look back and its stuck on the Detecting stage, where it detects for the hard drives. My nasty ear drums hear a noise, on hearing which I turn cold, a chill runs thru my spine, I get goosebumps and neurons take a pause. In distress and agony, I say, "No baby, no, please, please!" but I knew I was talking to something that had never gone thru a voice recognition training.
Its never wrong to be optimistic, I say, yes its my power supply going bad. I quickly unhook the other hard drive and swap the cables, the noise still having its resonance in my ear canal. In a few seconds the noise amplified and I sat in much more distress as I sit and type this.
This can happen to anyone out there. A request from a completely shattered, shaken person at the moment. Please maintain your precious data redundantly. I pay a heavy price of not getting a new backup hard drive when I should have, and this is what I call, my hard drives revenge.
Seagate 320GB Single Platter : Refuses to spin up.
Data lost : priceless.
I so wish and hope it spins up, 1 last time, that one precious push from that motor, one more precious effort from that head to roll into its place with all its remaining strength. If you can hear me, I have learnt my lesson. I was aware of this and you knew it too. Even life at times gives a second chance and all I ask from you is the same.
Everyone reading this will feel sorry for this, some will rush and take a backup, some will hope they want you to wake up, like how you were in all your glory a few hours back. Oh! please come back.
Any members from Mumbai : Who would like to help me with a PCB swap test ?
