OK.. for some reason, i am unable to see my External harddrive in the my computer thing, i see its light is on, but i still cant see it, i could before. could this have something to do with the poweroutage we had yesterday? I tried restarting my computer, still it isn't seen, i tried turning my computer completely off, still unseen.. could it be because its fried? [which i am deeply hoping isn't as it has a lot of my things inside of it.
could it just be the wires attaching it to the computer that's the problem, and and that the hardrive itself is fine?
