Trace Element I - ANSAR

TRACE ELEMENT I - ANSAR

Ansar is the first in a series of Trace Elements. It is one of the base elements and, as such, it represents the foundation of my being. Concepts such as love, happiness, and life, are represented here.

For every color, there is a primary; for every person, there is an Ansar.

1. Enigma - The Same Parents (Seven Lives Many Faces)
   
   
   We all have the same parents...many million years ago. Why can't we live in freedom? Without hunger, with out war...I don't, I don't understand...why, so much hate...
   This song perfectly illustrates how I feel about the state of the world today. So much anger, so much hate. Why?
   
   
2. Enigma - Boum Boum (Voyageur)
   
   
   My heart goes boum boum boum, every time I think of you...
   If the first song was about Peace, this one is about Love. It's a simple rythmic song that really make you feel (or remember) the magic that people call Love. If you've ever been in love, you know what I'm talking about. That first time when you talk to "the one" or see that person. That first date...boum! boum! boum!
   Going into the Valentine weekend, this is a good song to listen to.

What is Trace Element?

At the beginning of the year I, like many people, made some new year's resolutions. One of them was to start a project that has been on my mind since I started listening to music: Trace Element.


What is it?
Trace Element is a way for  me to share my appreciation of music with others. It is also a creative outlet that allows me to express and explore my creative and technical aptitude in the fields of multimedia design and development.

Restoring factory hard drive capacity

I was futzing with my main computer's hard drive setup today and ran into a very weird problem: one of my 1TB drives (full of data) all of the sudden became 32MB! All data is gone! It even shows 32MB in BIOS.

I tried plugging the drive into either of the on board controllers but the problem persists. Changing the SATA power connector didn't work either. I took it out of the system and connected it to my laptop via USB-SATA adapter and it still recognizes the drive as 32MB. What the heck?!

I thought the drive was dead as it looks like it became corrupted. Luckily I googled a few keywords and found this blog post. Apparently I'm not the only one who have experienced this problem. Even better, there's a tool to fix it! The other cool thing is the tool can fix  the issue while leaving your data intact.
I can attest to this because I was able to use this tool to bring my 1TB drive back with all data. Phew! Read more...
