Just when I think that things are running somewhat smooth...

I get a warning sign...

literally.
I attached my portable hard drive to my work computer while I'm doing other stuff, the normal prep for morning work. In the middle of the prep, I get a popup telling me the drive has disconnected. I think that its odd because the green light is still on the drive and the cable is still attached.

I have been resetting, unplugging, replugging... and whatever for the past I don't know...

I have 10 DVDs to burn, and the authored files are all on that drive. If I have a failed drive, I will have to author these discs again, and re-render all the video files for it as well. probably a full day's of work...

it figures...
