Thousands of dollars in modeling/agent fees. Yes, I was stupid to have not burned them to disc. I was always going to do it tomorrow. So stupid. Anyway, just bought 2 TB drives. Doing backups every 3 days, and of course I'm burning 10 zillion DVDs. I didn't even think of what crockett said about the power supply frying all the drives, so tomorrow I have to go buy another 1 TB external drive just to be safe.

if the drive actually spins try to put it in an external case and hook it up with usb/firewire. But let it rest for a day or two some place cold first. This has worked for me a couple of times

just reinstall windows on the c: drive, with the d: drive completely unplugged. at least you can get your machine running again and figure out the problem with the other hard drive.
