So my old computer was always on its side, because of a problem with the wiring behind the power button. It required a little jiggle to turn on but once it was on it worked fine. So naturally when I'm almost done with moving files to my new computer it has to kill itself thus not letting me turn it on anymore. With not many options above paying to either fix that or for someone to temporarily install the hard drive to my new computer.

Given, I can get the yzak.nu stuff back because it's uploaded onto my FTP, but my Cry-Baby video was over 1GB so I was planning on hooking up the CD drive to burn it and move it. Other that them I can't think of anything extremely important that was left, but maybe it's better that I can't think of anything else because if I remember something I'm going to get TARA SMASH! ... y.

[headwalls]

Nobody actually downloaded that Cry-Baby file I uploaded way back when, did they? And by chance still have it? I would give you a login to my FTP to upload it overnight or something since it's a huge file but that was one of the more important things that I didn't want to lose so I am just RAWR @ COMPUTER right now. 8( [livejournal.com profile] lacus is my forever girl.

There are USB cables that allow connecting drives to computers without installing the drives themselves. That's in case any other options have failed.

What do you mean, like the actual harddrive? Where it doesn't require you to power the computer it's in on?

What she is talking about is an enclosure. Go to Best Buy and ask if they have one, they're around $20-30 bucks.

Pretty much, enclosure = external HDD.

Have you thought about running the old HDD from your old computer on your new one as a slave so you can pull off the data?

I read up about it, but it would require needing someone coming to do it, I think. From what I read, it sounds like you have to know what you're doing. Which lol this household lololol. XD

But I will look into this enclosure thing. :O

xD Yeah, you need to know what you're doing. I mean on a lot of new harddrives there's a pictoral guide of how to set the jumpers to slave but you'll have to know how to hook up the cabling and all that xD

Enclosures are probably the easiest way to go.

LOL Seems that [livejournal.com profile] prushrush has beaten me with an explanation :P Anyway... When you buy it, you get two things in the set - one is an USB cable to connect the HDD to the computer and the other one is a little power pack that allows the disk work. A very useful stuff.

I have your Cry-Baby video, assuming it's the cam you linked me to back when I wanted it and was on CFUD. I'll have to double check but I'm fairly certain I never deleted it.

I also have a photo of you next to a trash can from Otakon, too.

p.s. I double-checked and I have the Cry-Baby video and the Cry-Baby audio file that I assume I got from you as well. Let me know if you want 'em ♥

I'm glad~!

It brings out the color in your hair! p.s. I also found a Dearka that I tried hooking up with you but it wasn't meant to be but she totally peed a little when I told her there was an Yzak there. MISSED CONNECTIONS. She was also totally cute see.

I LOVE MY WHOLE COSTUME except that wig lol. I need a straighter one (STRAIGHT JOKE HERE) in a better color. I wanted to get one for Otakon but this thing got in the way. Called being a lazy bitch.

I MIGHT still have it. I have to do a bunch of shit tonight so I'll try to see if it's on the external.
