The Click Of Death (Zip-related)

Help! Please!
I just heard it once. It stopped, I ejected the disk.... don't want to put another disk in (or the same) because I recall it being futile, or the drive will ruin more disks, or disks will contract AIDS and become homeless. Hopefully I can save the one disk. What can I do??

i am disappoint son
the disc that clicked is ruined as is the drive
you can take your chances and buy a working one offa ebay
but basically you are fucked
are we talking MPC?
fuck, I know.
I've been scoping SCSI drives on the bay for years, too.
ASR 10.
Worried about inserting the other disk though. It's got most of the info and if it craps further, I would lose important stuff.
Buying a SCSI hard drive now, hopefully can keep it going long enough to copy over.
Hah ahahahahaha. I went back and looked at the date.
I got a scsi flash for my mpc. Works great. They seem hard to find now though. I was able to load and resave all my old zip disks.
Good luck.
wtf?
good one 7

IT HAS HAPPENED.
EVERYTHING IS RUINED, DONT RISK IT. I LOST 7 YEARS OF BEATS THAT WAY. WALK AWAY SON. WALK AWAY
or check my thread on it from a few years ago.
Seriously you must walk away and throw away the drive and the disks it has created now.
no. that drive is dead and is creating disks that will go on to destroy new drives now. Once it's off kilter its a wrap.
"the brunette?"
"yeah...that chick is mad scsi. And you know her friends?"
"who? Lisa and thems?"
"word, that bit#h be rolling with the clique of death."
"yo, but I'd paint three of them murals for some of that ass."
"naw son, once you put it in, your shit is destroyed. Talking bout microscopic pits in your data son. Ain't no turning back."
"word?"
"walk away son. Walk away."
What I'm hoping is that I can get the hard drive in the mail, and dump all contents of the two disks, then I don't care I'm happy to pitch it all.
Biblical apocalypse now type talk for data and beats.
Props sir.
no one's laughing at your shitty situation, but this is kind of a good burn.
