So it turns out that a certain someone (definitely NOT ME) unplugged the firewire drive from its outlet. I’ll be giving that certain someone (in the mirror) an extremely stern talking-to.

On a side note, the firewire port in one’s computer can supply its own power to external hard drives! Good thing, considering what might have happened to the drive had the plug come out without a backup power source.

Well, looks like I’ll be hittin’ the ol’ dusty trail….

**UPDATE**

I tried to shut down the computer normally – it did, but the firewire drive shut down as well! While it was still plugged in to its own outlet! I turned the computer back on, and the drive came on with it!

If this helps those of you who have a clue, please enjoy.
