Hard drive kit...after saving some 50GB's of programming lessons, tutorials, WORK!!!!, programs ive made my self... the stupid thing died and i lost everything.. (died as in lol when you plug it in through the usb lol the comp would freeze or not detect anything at all, and when i plugged it vie IDE, lol the bios read the drive like "LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL _ LL" haha i was so pissed
