Disk Issues...

[achernow.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone,

One of my co-workers at the TV station I am at has a disk that is telling us in windows that it is not formatted but I am able to see that there is contents on the disk via 'chksdk' or through scan disk. Is there any way that we can try to get the data off the disk for her?

Thanks :)

Customer brings in printer with very vague "it just don't print raht" complaint.

Sure enough, when asked to produce a test page, it went through the motions of printing it, but spat out a blank page.

It also spat out a small, flat, and very dead cockroach, but that's beside the point.

Upon opening the lid to inspect the carts, the first thing I noticed was that the color cart was where the black one was supposed to go and vice versa. God's sake, people, they're COLOR-CODED.

Okay. Pulled color cart. Pulled black cart. ......stared at black cart.

You know that little piece of tape? The one they slap over the print heads to keep the cart from oozing all over the box in transit? The one you're supposed to TAKE OFF before you install the cart?

Yeah.

After I was done howling with laughter and making my co-workers do likewise by waving the cart in their faces and asking them what was wrong with that picture, I yanked the tape off, put the carts where they were supposed to go, and all was well. Well, except that the color cart is empty, but.
