As Im working in the basement this morning, I peer into the music room and notice the WONDERFUL message on my DAW that my HardDrive has FAILED.  JUST WONDERFUL

I hate when that happens.  I hope you didn't lose any tracks.  

I think I'll go hopping this week. Leave the Harddisk on all the time? I turn my computer off even though I have no Sleep set on anything and everything is on if the computer is on.

I might have lost a couple of recent things Ive been messing with myself but all my outside gigs and projects are kept on individual master CDs and working copies on a seperate hard drive as well.

The OS hard drive is the one that chit the bed-UGHH

Think Im going to install 2 new hard drives this go around

Yeh Space, Im down there quite a bit so I dont shut it down but reboot every now and then just to let it catch up and get its mind cleared LOL

Hi,
 
I was going to get me a synthesizer ... but not getting enough help with teh software bullmerder and the midicrappler keyboard that no one knows anything about ... kinda took its toll.
 
I'm gonna get me another video card instead ... and enjoy the computer, and screw the music!
 
Tired of asking for help and some folks being so rude, as to not even answer their emails ...

Welp,

Got the back up done of the system today to my external Hard Drive.

No sooner than I got that finished, it completely crapped the bed-Dead in the water.

Heading out in the morning to get a new HD
Any thoughts on the Seagate Barracudas?
Im looking at the 
1 to 2 TB, 64MB, 7200 rpm model---

Thoughts???

Hmmmm

Just pulled it and wouldnt ya know that is the stock parts

1.5 TB Barracudas

I walked into my studio yesterday and noticed my hard drive is making a funny noise.  'Tis the Season???

I was just looking at my drives this morning thinking I might need to do some pre-emptive buying and cloning...
