quark101I have a huge problem. The memory stick that has all of my fics and art and everything else saved on isn't working. I tried it on the PC and got a message saying that it was malfunctioning. I'm going to talk to my dad about it later and have him take a look at it and see what happens.
I just hope that I didn't lose anything (and I think I did). Because that means I lost the next two chapters to Rumor Has It, the next chapter and a half to In Another Reality, and other ficlets that I haven't gotten around to posting.
Yeah, not happy right now.
EDIT: *is feeling less distressed now* I'm still a little miffed that I lost a couple chapters that I had just written (wrote them over the weekend). So, no fics for a week or two.
(As I said in a comment below, I can deal with losing the files. It's just those new chapters and a few select other fics that I'm a bit PO'ed for losing. That and the face that I can't even use the memory stick at all now.)

Date: 2008-07-09 09:15 pm (UTC)You should try some paranoia; I´ve saved my fic-files on my external harddrive and burn them occasionally on CDs...
yes, overkill, but considering my history with computers and technology...wise decision after all.
I have a similar problem like you with my last mp3-player. It was a really fancy one I got for christmas, but on one day it was broken after I wanted to upload more files on it. It still plays the music, but whenever I plug it in, my computer claims that this drive is corrupted and non-readable. The weird part is that he recognizes the drive the moment I´m unplugging it.
I think I know the reason why: the connection between computer and the USB was not properly severed (sadly my pc crashed and I removed the mp3-player afterwards and that was what caused it to malfunction.)
I guess that something similar might have happened, that you didn´t close the connection from pc to stick properly (or that the pc messed it up).
I hope your dad can get it to work.
