I’m giving it all she’s got kipten…
I turned on my venerable desktop today and I heard the most ghastly of screeching sounds… afterwards a message telling me that no boot partition was found… Arghhhh!!!
So before running around the room with arms flailing I decided to do a reboot… luckily it worked… the bad thing is that the OS is sooooooo damned slow… which is its way of telling me that this thing is just barely holding together…
Hopefully I can buy a new hard disk and get the chance to transfer my files before it conks out altogether… that hard disk has been with me for 4 years already… hmmmm… and I think its rated to last 5…
