Computer Vent

I'm venting:

My friggin computer had to go and crash. I came home and all I saw was the DOS cursor. I kept booting but same friggin cursor.

I thought my hard drive had crashed. I was about to go buy a new one when someone told me to put in my recovery disks and see if I could restore the system. It would work if the crash was not a physical crash of the drive.

I tried it and now it's seems to be restoring the system.

But FRIG FRIG FRIG FRIG FRIG..... why the hell did this have to happen???? WHY WHY WHY?

Now I have to install everything, because this damn restore disk is like 8 months old.
Yes it's my fault for not having a more recent backup.
I'm venting. thank you
 
You know the old saying "If it has tires, boobs or a keyboard; sooner or later you gonna have problems".

Ladies have a different version of that saying. Hope you had the data files on a separate HDD.

Yeah. My data is on other drives. Otherwise I'd be pulling my hair out right now. I just have to reinstall software.

That reminds me... I need a haircut

In a lot better mood after the vent. Now I can laugh about it.
 
you know what sucks

Is that after you finish your rebuild, you realize that you left a DVD in the dvd drive and your bios was set to boot from CDROM... becuase of some other stupid thing your were doing a few weeks back. All you had to do was take the DVD out of the drive and reboot.. that sucks!

im sorry but: :lol:

but yeah, this (OP's problem) has happened to several times. i can sympathize.
 
I know, its funny no matter how many tears I shed, it still funny when I do really stupid things..

Like In my rock and roll days, I was all stressed out before a gig, so I thought a little bar brawl would loosen me up.. SNAP, classic boxer break.. though it did ground me for several weeks, I learned a valuable lesson. Aim for the soft spots and avoid the teeth..
 
Sorry to hear the bad new. Computers will tell you if a hard drive went bad wiith a message on your screen. If there is no message about a bad hard drive and it doesn't try a disk scan, you may have a wicked virus.
