RIP, HD. U POS. (LOL, J/K)
Wednesday, September 1st, 2004My hard drive committed suicide Sunday afternoon. Actually, I guess, the hard drive itself wasn’t entirely at fault. Windows XP corrupted itself somehow (I’m guessing MTV) and was beyond salvation, despite my numerous attempts at reinstallation, conversion and exorcism.
The bad part of this whole naughty ordeal is that I was planning to head to Des Moines a few minutes before my drive started its ill-fated cry for help to get my new cellphone, which I’ve been ~trying~ to get for three weeks now. Instead, I spent the afternoon (and subsequent evening) trying to save my system.
The good news is, my new hard drive arrived from Newegg today, and I’m up and running again. I’ve got 200GB of room to romp in now. :) My MP3’s and DivX’s, which were previously stuffed into every available nook and cranny (mostly the crannies) of my old 40GB drive are now all sitting spread-eagled in bean bag chairs (a waste of space, I know, but they look so very ~cool~ in a retro sort of way).
