carlsbad0331 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 It will be extremely interesting to hear what you find on that drive! That is the same drive that I have sitting on my desk and it has operated flawlessly! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 UPDATE: Well, the power wire finally came in the mail, and I was able to use my USB charger for my PS3 controllers for the USB wire All that was on it was 122gb of documents about......radiation therapy. Some files didn't let me access because I 'didn't have permission', but whatever I'm reformatting it as I'm writing this and Backing up my iPod onto it. which by the way the old one still hasn't turned up.

Julius Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 1 Tb hard drive!! 50 dollars would still be a steal.I lost some music years ago and didn't back up.I now have back-ups on DVD's,2 p.c.'s and my PS3.I know it's a pain but you got to do it. Your X-friend got your Ipod,no doubt!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefy Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 1 Tb hard drive!! 50 dollars would still be a steal. Your X-friend got your Ipod,no doubt!! Yeah, no pun there, it obviously WAS a steal... or stolen, whatever. Sounds to me like you guys need to learn how to pick better friends if you really believe that your close friends are the ones you need to watch out for... Of course, if your friends are selling you stolen merch and you're buying, then I guess the same could be said of them. Karma is a "beotch" as they say. The music is gone... no question of that... but maybe now that you have your hot new hard drive you'll back up your itunes library after spending the next month re-ripping all of your music... unless of course it was bootlegged downloaded stuff and if so... well, sorry bout your luck.

S4 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Sucks about the iPod and your music collection. Lesson learned about backing up, right? And that drive you bought is probably stolen. Maybe not your friend but someone did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 You all have it wrong. The guy I brought the drive from is not the same guy who I think took the iPod. He was just a kid we went to school with that just showed up one night. Anyways, what's done is done, I have everythig backed up and i'm going to have to start over. Thanks you all the help and support, guys. And Beefy, please save your preaching for someone else. I never stole from anybody so shove your karma philosophy up your ass. Thank you.

He was just a kid we went to school with that just showed up one night. I didn't think it was the same guy. Just seems shady that someone walks around with a drive full of medical information. Good to hear you figured it all out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julius Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 When i said 50 dollars is a steal I meant a good price.I also know the guy who sold you the hard drive isn't your friend whom you suspect stole your Ipod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefy Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 And Beefy, please save your preaching for someone else. I never stole from anybody so shove your karma philosophy up your ass. Thank you. You bought obviously stolen gear... what's the difference, really? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 The difference is 1. I didn't physically take it. 2. I didn't ask where he got it from. 3. Unlike stealing, I did nothing illegal. With that theory, you'd say someone stole from like 10 different artists if they made a mix cd for themselves....ridiculous. and My ipod was stolen prior to me buying the drive so your karma philosophy wouldn't even apply. If I want your opinion or lecture I'll ask for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kachunkachunk Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I guess in the end some poor med student or researcher just lost 122GB of work. : / They always leave the cables... I had a drive stolen from me before, same thing. 60GB of backups (friends/family pictures, games, movies, etc!). Even if he didn't buy the drive, someone else would have. Maybe karma will still bite him for supporting the thief, but it's still going to get fenced somewhere by another 'lucky' buyer. Anyway, that blows about losing the iPod, better luck in future.

Beefy Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 If you post ANYTHING on a PUBLIC forum then you are "asking" for whatever response you get, Einstien. Why don't you go down to your local police station and ask them if buying stolen merchandise (KNOWINGLY OR NOT) is illegal. It's obvious that you will be surprised by the answer...mere POSSESSION of stolen merchandise is a crime. Just ask EVERY PERSON who ever had stolen merchandise confiscated from them... If it even SEEMED out of place, and you still chose to make the purchase, you CAN be held legally accountable, but at the very least, you'd lose the merchandise and draw unwanted attention to yourself...kinda like you're doing now. If you don't know the law, then don't run your mouth... and DEFINITELY don't share this kind of stuff on a PUBLIC forum. You're not above the law and frankly, it would be fairly easy for anyone on here to tip the local authorities off to people who they THINK might be involved in illegal activities. You may think it's no big deal, it's only a hundred dollar hard drive... what you DON'T know is what the value of the files that YOU destroyed (not the guy who stole the drive) were worth... possibly THOUSANDS, or MILLIONS, who knows... point is, you have no idea what you may have just gotten yourself into... and NOW, it's documented here FOREVER! Smart move. And kachunkachunk, the theory that even if HE didn't buy the drive, someone else would have is irrelevant to say the least... it may be true that someone else would have purchased it, but by that theory you're saying that even if OJ didn't kill his wife, someone else would have, so it's really no big deal that he did it...
