12% sounds so random lol but yeah I hope you get it back up and running.
I usually always take a backup every week for stuff that's new and back it up to an external HDD. This incident was just so random and the drive would just not boot up. Even the Linux Mint splash screen wouldn't boot up so there was no way for me to even go into CLI mode and try to figure out what the hell it was that went wrong.
Robocopy is for windows (MS can go jump up its own ass and die for all I care) and I'm on Linux. Unstoppable copier looks interesting and I'll have to give it a go. Though I managed to recover everything that was important to me I think having these solutions would be a good idea for the future so thanks for the suggestion.
I remember buying this case a long time back. It wasn't reall a drive I shucked and kept the case but rather it was a case I found in the market once for small drives I could fit into it and then use a USB connector to turn it into an external. So glad I had this lying around. The most important thing in that drive was not just the "stuff" but the backup to my catalogue program for movies that I'd spent a lot of time building on Tellico. I almost lost it when I thought the work I put in to curate over 800 movies on Tellico was all lost. Would have been a pain to do it all over again and then continue adding more.
