I was lamenting for some reason some of my music library being missing, realising I must've misplaced them when copying them to hard drives over the years.
BUT THEN I REMEMBERED! 13 year ago me was vaguely good at putting my stuff on DVDs and I have the ability to read them so in I put it in the drive and...
...Nothing happens. Now you might be like "hmm, could be digital rot" and NOPE
When I shifted the guts in to a new case I FOOLISHLY put the disk drive in SATA03 instead of SATA02 'cus SATA03 is disabled when I have an M.2 drive
Instead of just detecting which is in use and switching on the fly I guess. There'll be some hardware reason I'm sure but that was silly
Anyway now to find albums I didn't completely rip anyway
By the way, I found the disk that would've had these backed up!
The folders were empty so I guess I cut them from the DVD-RW instead of copying them when moving them >_>
