Well, I can't even get the unit to boot when the bad drive is plugged in- on either controller. If I just have the 6gb drive plugged into the primary controller, then all is well. But the system won't even boot at all with the other drive plugged in. I was hoping I could at least boot the system and try to recover some of the files from the failing drive.

When I open up Emplode with only the 6gb disk installed, it's a sad, sad sight. Most of the playlists show up in boldface type, and all of the playlists contain only scattered songs left over. It's like the emplode equivalent of the aftermath of a bombing raid or something.

Ah well. At least I still have the files on my PC's hard disk. All I've lost is playlist-creation time.

Oh [censored], I just realized that I lost all my EQ presets, too, didn't I?

CRAP. CRAP CRAP CRAP CRAP.

And I have a long trip coming up in a little over a week. I'm going to have to work hard to reorganize my music in that time.
