The "Hard Drive Data End" Disaster

During 2011, one of Jimbo the Cheese's external hard drive storage units suffered a severe malfuction. This hard drive - which contined the original digital files Found and Gifts of the Matrix as well as Jimbo's digital copy of The Justice of Light and Darkness, and several of the original filmed footage from that project - was reformatted, resulting in the total and permement loss of all data that existed on it. This event came to be known as the Hard Drive Data End Disaster.

Prior to the Disaster.
Jimbo at the time did not have a laptop of his own, using an old, family-shared Compaq laptop instead. Almost permemently connected to this laptop was a 1 terabyte External Hard Drive.

Jimbo, being an avid fan of anime, stored digital copies of many series of this hard drive, as well as the digital originals of any project he worked on. He regually carried this hard drive with him on projects or visits to friends, and it was considered to be one of his most valued posessions.

Unfortunetly, inadvert misuse and damage to the hard drive occured due to family members and household activity bumping, knocking or unplugging the hard drive. Becoming concerned for the loss of his anime collection (which was several hundreds of gigabytes large), Jimbo purchesed a new hard drive and backed up his data. However, he neglected to back up any other files, as he planned to take action to reduce and eliminate the damage factors.

When Jimbo obtained a laptop of his own, he assumed the potential damage to the Hard drive was contained, and stopped his efforts to make any copies of his data.

Occurence of the Disater
At some time during Jimbo's time at college, he plugged his hard drive into his laptop for reasons unknown. He discovered the hard drive was not being recognised. He attempted to solve the problem, only to discover that the Hard Drive was unable to be properly loaded. Further investigation proved the hard drive had become corrupted.

Jimbo reformatted the hard drive, but discovered all data on it had been lost. This sealed the fate of several projects.
