So upon coming back from the trip this weekend, I turn on my computer, and...hangs on boot.
So I try a hard reset, and it comes up. But mail takes about 10 minutes to boot. Then the HD locks and starts making hard clicking sounds.
Yep, HD failure.
Lost quite a bit. I was NOT pleased. Nothing irriplaceable, mostly savegames and the lick, but still, DAMNIT.
I went and installed Vista 32, since it was what I had on hand, and I'll be handing this computer down to my wife in a month when I get a new computer with
Win7 on it. Spent the evening installing stuff on it. JOY.
