the quirks of technology

my external 40gb hard drive is currently in the freezer because it died on me. i can't use it, i can't format it. i can't do a thing with it. *sob*

so, thanks to Syn and some research, i decided to give it a shot. pfft. in 30 min time, i'll find out if it worked or not. if it doesn't, i'm gna be dead meat when my mom finds out. really.

well. the wait begins.

IT BLOODY WORKED!!!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA IT WORKED!

I was able to format my baby! XD

I took it out from the freezer right after Syn said all that. So, it was only in the freeze for 15min. I let it thaw, and it condensed on the outside. That made me panic because I had no clue what was happening inside. XD I don't have any screwdrivers small enough to unscrew the screws. wahahah. unscrew the screws.

Anyway, so yeah I put the whole thing in the freezer, casing and all. I took it out. It condensed. I thawed. I plugged it in and it formatted!!!!!! XD

*heart whoever came up with this freezing idea*

hahahahahha.....mummy won't have to know ^^
