What happens to a disk when the message - "This disk is not formatted,"
appears on my computer screen, yet it is a disk that I've been using for
several months?
Yesterday I was working on a project, stored the material on a disk, went to
bed, woke up this morning and tried to retrieve the work and I can't
retrieve it. Does the disk just wear out?
Did aliens zap it with electrical impulse weapons while I slept?
Are there such things as little "disk raiders" who creep in during the night
and erase material stored on disks as a form of entertainment?
Why does this happen to the disks that I don't back up because, "Just this
once I'll store material on one disk without backing it up" (are the disk
raiders/aliens psychic?)?
Just wondering.
