My new laptop arrived yesterday! And way earlier than expected! Still have a lot of setting up to do but I'm journaling from it right now. Tried to do some work to see what I could do to get the data from my old laptop. So I started with the hard drive and pulled it out and hooked it up to the new one and I couldn't access the files, was getting similar results as to what I'd get when I tried to access files on the old one. So, this old laptop has two drives. It has a smaller ssd drive with the os on it and a larger disc drive for storage. So it was the storage drive that I'd removed and tried to hook up. After that I booted the old laptop with the drive removed and it was working. So it's the storage drive that's corrupted or something and when it was plugged in it was keeping the entire filesystem from loading. Well, good news is that most of my personal stuff is on the smaller system drive. The main thing I was keeping on the storage drive was audio and video files. So the main thing is all my music stuff. Hopefully there are ways that can be recovered. I'll try some things out. I mean, I've tended to just put things out there when I've finished so I shouldn't lose any finished music, but I do like having the in-progress works around. But we'll see. I mean, I guess that's the big thing of the day. Mary Beth and I did go for a walk in the afternoon. We wrapped up the second season of Gilmore Girls.
