The drive died with a mechanical failure somewhere. I rebooted my system and went from fine to hearing a loud clinking sound. I opened the case and immediatley found it was the hard drive. It was so bad it would try for a while to figure out what was there and give up. I never did recover any of the data on that drive.
Fuschia coloured smoke sounds interesting though
