Update on the Computer
Here on my honey’s computer again. I took mine in tonight to the new guy who we bought my daughter’s computer from, just to find out pricing.
I didn’t know if I’d need yet another reformat but I didn’t give a shit about paying someone else to fix my computer cuz I was feeling like I got overcharged on the last bit of work I had done (even though I talked him down from what he was originally going to charge me).
I got pricing and it was about equivalent so I was all prepared for yet another reformat. However, when I told him what the problem was, he said that it sounded like I needed a new hard drive.
Well that was great, I thought, since I just bought that hard drive a few months ago. It would be covered by warranty. So I went back to the old guy only to find out that *supposedly* I bought that new hard drive on December 3rd, 2005.
What does that say, boys and girls? That says that exactly one year AND A MONTH after the warranty expired, the fucking hard drive went kaput.
So I left it with him, told him to install a new hard drive and I figured the price of the hard drive itself was pretty good – $136 for a 320 gig, 16 mg cache. That’s twice the size (and probably half the price) of the last 160 gig hard drive I bought.
I asked him to install it and the drivers and have it ready for me at 5:00 tomorrow, so, hopefully everything will be working properly. I’m having it partitioned just like my other D and E hard drive, so now I’ll have C, D, E, and F all as hard drives.
I certainly didn’t want one whole hard drive at 320 gigs. Ya know how long it takes to run your spyware or virus scan on a drive that huge? I’ll tell you it was pretty slow just on 160 which is what the partition will be again.
Once again I guess I’ll start reinstalling programs in a couple of days. At least I hadn’t spent all my time reinstalling programs. That’s about the only benefit.
And now, just because I’m a distrustful bitch, I’m going to look for the receipt of the last hard drive just to see the exact date of purchase on that. I can’t believe that it’s over a year ago. I don’t remember doing all that scanning of the huge hard drive for that long a period.
Oh, and BTW, before the crash I upgraded to WordPress 2.1 Ella. So I’m gonna be looking for the new and special features.
