yesterday was Christmas but it's not a good day for me at all-.- my maxtor hard disk got problem. the moment i plugged the usb cable to my macbook, it told me to back up the files in the hard disk immediately and reformat it-.-it wouldn't allow me to copy the files from my macbook to it. so after dinner, went to imm with sis. went to get the stuffs she wanted before going to challenger to buy a new hard disk and a pouch for it. came home and wanted to transfer the files to the new hard disk. realized that there's no instruction manual in it so went to the western digital website to look for one but it's useless. ended up at the FAQ section to look for help and i found it. the solution given is different from the instruction manual-.- tsk tsk tsk. just reformatted the maxtor hard disk and it's all fine right now:D transferring some stuffs back to it now.
