Hard drive failure! (or so I thought)

I updated LaunchBox this morning, 8.4-beta-17, and I thought I would see if it would grab Steam videos etc. I set Launchbox on its merry way looking for metadata for ALL. Then I heard a strange sound and Windows said they'd been a hard disk failure. To say I shat myself would be an understatement. I had bought a 2TB just for LaunchBox and I was gutted. I took my laptop apart and swapped my old 1TB for the 2TB and put that in an external caddy. When I rebooted, Windows checked the drive and tried to repair it. It seems to have worked as I can access it and see everything. 

 

Be careful out there!  Jeezuz  ;)

Hey, don't feel too bad! I just had an 8tb Seagate Backup + go on me last week,  It was 7tb full.
