yeah, long story short? I was using my windows computer a few weeks ago and all hell broke looks pretty much. I was reading an article and suddenly my computer screen went blank. Wasn't the blue screen of death or anything like that.. it just went blank.
Only way I was able to get my box to turn off.. was to manually hold in the power button until it shut itself off. I rebooted.. and nothing. I whipped out my handy dandy WinXP rescue disc. Well, that didn't work either. My HD had completely faulted.. meaning it was useless.
So I've been busy as hell putting in the new HD and reinstalling the XP operating system.. and therefore, I lost all my saved data.. including all my account information to all my memberships and accounts. I couldn't get any of the admins to help me with the issue.. so I simply just created another account. I can't for the life of me, remember what my password was.
Anyhow, just wanted to let everyone know that I was okay.. and nothing bad happened. Just a HD issue.. that's all.
Lastly.. I hardly ever use this windows box. I have another computer.. which I have Linux running on.. which is my main computer.. its the fastest one I have of the two. What can I say? Alienware has it going on..
so yeah.. hello again RIU community!
peace.
