I don’t know why, but the day before, i was still accessing my external hard disk as normal. Just that day on Sunday, while i tried to access it again, it gives problem!!!
WTH!!! This hard disk is only 2 months old leh!!!
I tried many ways, but no matter what, i cant get to read the contents. My “My Computer” even hangs after i plugged in my hard disk.
Then i decided to try using my 2nd OS - Ubuntu Linux. It works!!
I managed to backed up all my files, before going back to windows to reformat it again! Good Good! Nice to have a Linux installed in your system.

There is this program that comes with the automatic windows update, called Genuine Windows Advantage, which will keep on disturbing you if your copy of MS Windows is pirated. Solutions included.
