Hiiiiiiiiiiiii :}
« on: August 03, 2011, 02:03:30 PM »
So I'm a geek named Macy, I'm 20 years old, and I'm here because I wanna meet other fellow geeks! :D

But I also am facing a problem, well my friend is, and I couldn't even fix it. :(

The situation:
I was just wondering if someone could please help me, well my friend! The situation is that my friend Chelsey's external hard drive won't recognize her laptop anymore after plugging it in her friend's laptop.

She has a Western Digital Terabyte hard drive and both the laptops were good. She told me that her friend was gonna transfer White Chicks (my fave movie) from her laptop to the hard drive which was plugged on Chelsey's laptop. She said that her laptop didn't recognize the hard drive at first then it did, but couldn't transfer White Chicks for some odd reason so they just cancelled it and didn't transfer anything.

After awhile, Chelsey's laptop was being a tard and wouldn't shut down so they tried CTRL + ALT + DEL and end tasks and shut it down. The next day, her hard drive doesn't recognize her laptop anymore and she blames her friend's laptop for it >.> but why does it do that? Chels said that whenever she plugs her hard drive on to her laptop, it doesn't do anything anymore so she thinks it's broken now or something.

Please help! Any suggestions or anything?

Now now, 12.  That wasn't very helpful.

After all, we know Lalalove18 quite well, as this member has made an effort to become a part of our community here, and this request for technology support WAS posted in the correct subforum.

Oh wait.  We don't know Lalalove18 at all, and this member hasn't bothered even reading around first before making demands of us in their newbie post.

So on second thought, maybe the best thing to do with that hard drive IS to go fuck yourself with it, Lalalove18.  Hard.

Uh-huh. "Your friend." Got it.  :wink:

The situation is that my friend Chelsey's external hard drive won't recognize her laptop anymore after plugging it in her friend's laptop.

Ok, first thing to check: is her laptop wearing a disguise, like maybe those Groucho nose-glasses? Cause that could TOTALLY throw the hard drive off.

Ok, were you doing a "transfer" or a "copy"? Because if you type "transfer white chicks" at the command prompt, your hard drive will explode. Always type "copy white chicks".

After awhile, Chelsey's laptop was being a tard

Did you tell it that? Did you say that out loud? You may have hurt the laptop's feelings if you did.

Because it's a tard. BUT DON'T TELL IT THAT!

Yes. Tell "Chels" that her hard drive is broken or something.

now now everyone, I for one welcome Scott Pilgrims sister.

Hey Scott Pilgrim sister, is your brother single?



on another note, I always feel so bad when you're all so mean to the newbies. No wonder we only have like 30 active members.  :oops:

"Newbies" are one thing. Mooching, fly-by-once knowledge leaches that expect you to fix their fuckups for free before they disappear into the eternal setting sun of the internet without so much as an attempt to reciprocate can eat dirty dick, though.

The hard drive is full of the ghosts of the people who died watching or making White Chicks. Dunk it in holy water until the water turns red (or purple) and then it should be fine once it dries.

I've never been mean to newbies.

Lalalove18 isn't a newbie.  Lalalove18 is a dumbass.  There's a very distinctive difference.   :-D

Does it work on other computers? For the heck of it, try a different cord. Better yet, try a different drive  :wink:

I kid. Is the connection USB? If so, try a USB to USB connector and THEN plug it in..... I do not suggest having a sexual relationship with your HDD. :wink: We all know what happened when people in Star trek did that........

hope this helps....! Good luck!
