Switch it off, then switch it back on

 

you must be some sort of engineer

 

Our IT ****s get £30k a year to spout that ****e

 

they're underpaid. it takes years to learn how to form a thoughtful looking face then come out with the same pish every time

 

TRied the switch off and back on again thing already

try this

 

If it fails when you get home take the hard drive out of the external casing and stick it in the freezer for a few hours, after a few hours take it out of the freezer and reconnect to the casing and plug it all back in. It helps with the spinning of the disc allowing you time to take the info and save it else where

 

then place in the centre of the oven on a medium heat for 15 minutes. allow it to stand 5 minutes before serving idealy with a crisp white wine.

 

Cheers ****os. I should have known ****ing better than to ask you ****s

 

**** off dougie
