Well, my laptop has boxed itself, so I'm currently sitting on my other computer.  Unfortunately, I have none of my software on here with which to work, and for the moment I'm looking at solutions to getting my data off the laptop.  So for now, I don't think we'll see any new progress from me at all until I can get some software on here.

Well if the drive still works they do make converters so you can plug the laptop drive into a regular PC. 

[brandx0]

Yeah, I'll be looking  into that for sure

O_O please tell me we won't be left with nothing but renders of those wonderful wonderful models.

[brandx0]

Fingers crossed.  I'll know in a couple of days.

What rig died if I may ask?

[brandx0]

My Laptop.  As in, until I got this thing set up, my only rig

Here's hoping you can resolve this without too much hassle!

See, if you had a mac, that wouldn't happen.

Are you saying a Mac is physically incapable of experiencing a hardware failure?  What kind of blow/crack/PCP/ex are you on?

[brandx0]

He's saying that if I had a mac, when the power supply blew up Justin Long would come to my house, sprinkle magical mac fairy dust on my laptop and my files would be miraculously transported to whatever other computer I wanted.

just get yourself a 2.5" drive usb case , take the harddrive oout of your old computer and connect up will take ya 5 mins with a screw driver , and will cost you less than $20 , you may even be able to boot from that drive, but depends on the config of computers.....

[chief1983]

Second post already covered that.

Bit of advice: get a surge protector (or a better one )
