Thanks, hopefully the FLA files aren't corrupted when I grab them from my cloud storage (once Flash re-installs), or else I'm screwed in a months work by resorting to my 3rd option: my flash drive -_-
Hopefully it all works out. What caused it to break?
Oh, just over-usage and time. All hard drives eventually fail, which is why backups are 100% considered. I was able to retrieve everything except the Adobe programs, FLA files work, so I'm almost there :)

Damn, that's rough. Does the HD sound clunky or spin at all? One thing that might work - put it in a plastic bag, freeze it, then reinstall it (before it gets warm again). The cold tightens up bad bearings, and any breaks on the circuit board.

Hm, never heard of that, I might try it out sometime later down the road thanks for the info, right now I have it in an anti-static bag and boxed up...alternatively I've bought a 500GB Seagate HD and just installed it...currently retrieving all data from my WD external drive...got my super-important FLA files...hopefully Google Drive didn't do anything to them.
