Ok i had a 120 gig hard drive since like forever.. i had everything on it.. i think i have everything since like 2001 on it. All my sons growing up pics, baptisms EVERYTHING YOU CAN IMAGINE..

So one day it dont work. Im like DAMIT.. now it was a external HD. So i figure out its the power supply. So i try to get one and you just cant. SO. i let it sit for like a year pissed.. So one day i get mcgyver on it. I open it up and im like .. Wait.. this is just a normal Hd in a fancy light up case.. So i pull it out and im like GREAT. after i mcgyvered it i notced i could just plug it into a regular desktop!.. So my mom has like a barebones dell with every port open. So i go to her house and crack her pc open and plug in my hd. IT DONT WORK.. damit.. well after brainstorming i figure out it just needed a slave jumper.. So i put it in and VIOLA.. all the info there right on the screen!>. so best buy had a sale on like a 350 gig hd for like 79 bucks.. No power supply needed runs off the usb!.. and its like the size of a small cell phone!..

So happy.. got all my music and all my stuff back!!.. Thank god i had my buisness stuff on zips!..
