so just needed to vent.  yesterday i was setting up my new home office.  i accidentally knocked my external hard drive off the desk.  tried to read the files on it, and no luck.

took it to best buy geek squad.  they could not read it either.  they sent it out to experts to be looked at.  2-10 weeks to get back, and no guarantee that any of the files will be recovered.  and could cost up to $1600 to get it fixed.

5 years and almost 5TB of video files potentially lost cause i accidentally knocked the hard drive to a carpeted floor.  makes me sad.

unfortunately, no seeding from me for a while until i find out what is going on with the hard drive.  i'll keep you posted on updates as i get the from the geek squad.  keeping my fingers crossed that everything works out.
