Yulonde finally died yesterday afternoon, during work.
I ejected the drive from Oathkeeper ( this is my Mac FYI ) to transfer some files to my company's computer. It appeared as Removable Drive and asked to be formatted. Flummoxed, I sticked it back into Oathkeeper. The drive wasn't not readable by this computer. O.O WTH.
Then I spent the night searching for solutions. Nil. Then I used the home PC to install a file recovery program to test Yulonde. I managed to recover some files ( the Divergence fanfic files and 358/2 game file :D) but the rest of the recovered files were not readable. : ( So I went to Sim Lim to do data recovery.
Yulonde is dead like hell……. He's only … about a year old though, might be under. TT.TT I bought him in Sim Lim some more, after I did data recovery with Rae at another shop ( which wasn't very good since most of the files were totally unreadable.).
Well, I'm left with Kalest and Rae now. Not going to buy another thumb drive until maybe like next year's COMEX or something. I'll need to be diligent in backing up files. I'm going to use Oblivion ( my 1 TB external HDD in case you didn't know) to do back up and do one more copy in CD/DVD.
On a side note, 4 PSD files disappeared from Oathkeeper's desktop. Either I have deleted them accidentally or one of the children at the school deleted them when I went to the mail box. : / I'll just have to redo them. Luckily I printed most of the copies needed.
P.S. I didn't know the act of sticking thumb drive into computers is called mounting. It sounds damn wrong. I am reminded of the chapter in Axel's Seven Days when the goldpanner was translating the scene where Hayner fell while on top of Roxas. XDDDDDD
P.P.S. Thumb drive is also known as flash drive, pen drive and portable drive.
