Computer problems

My scrapping folder is on an external hard drive so I wont be taking up so much room on our hard drive since the family shares the same computer. Well my external drive is not cooperating and hopefully is not dieing....... ouch. I am trying to slavage my folder from it but until then I cant post any of my QP's or LO's to share. I am hoping to solve this problem soon otherwise I have a lot of downloading to do again to start up duplicate files OUCH!!! I hope to be back posting soon........
