I have one last-ditch effort to get my datar off my beloved media drive. After that, it's poo-doo. R.I.P. numerous photos, mp3s, backups, and other crap I don't even remember.
If you're curious, it's a Western Digital 120GB IDE drive. Manufactured in 2003. WinXP already had trouble accessing it on Monday night and on Tuesday, February 14, 2006, it bid farewell. “AUTH” drive is survived by his siblings, “BOX”, “SYS” and “MAIN”.
