Fri, October 30, 2009 - 12:59 PMA friend said I may be able to take out the hard drive and hook it up to another computer and pull off anything I need. Anyone have any experience or success doing that?
The error that shows up before booting windows is
Boot Failure
Press Any Key To Continue
Which just repeats ad nauseum
Not that old a computer, maybe 10 months, no problems like this until now... was running Vista. The brand is ZT, it was cheap. -

Re: killed my computer
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 6:47 AMNew hard drive on the way, may be here Tuesday.
Going Western Digital 1TB Black, hopefully it won't shit out. If anyone needs a new harddrive, check out NewEgg, this was only $110.
I saw on Sellout Woot website a few days ago refurbished 1.5TB drives for $100. Arguments against refurbished items aside, that is less than $.07 a Gigabyte of storage; space is getting cheap.
Solid state drives are still not cheap, though. -

Re: killed my computer
Sun, November 1, 2009 - 7:01 AMThe worst part of this is I lost my growing notes. Having to "eyeball" it is going to be lame. I remember some specifics, but most is lost. Need to know how long into flowering specific plants are to give them the right amount of nutrients, so guessing could be problematic. -

Re: killed my computer
Wed, November 4, 2009 - 12:00 PMIsn't "Vista smoothly" an oxymoron? -

Sun, November 8, 2009 - 11:17 AMAll of my Firefox bookmarks since I got the computer in December are gone, too. All prior Firefox bookmarks are here on this older computer, but that is still a lot of pages absent from recall... I bookmark nearly everything that has some interest to me. -

Re: killed my computer
Sun, November 8, 2009 - 6:15 PMi have vista on my laptop and haven't had any problems, but i am not straying outside the boundaries. . .i am still waiting to hear that 7 is really better, it's kind of early yet. . .i want to start using my pc for recording live music and so i may need to optimize. . -

Re: killed my computer
Sun, November 8, 2009 - 6:28 PMi have all these songs i have written and i need to get them recorded so i can move forward. . .i just want to make the music, but it's frustrating having to think about all these technical issues. not wanting to invest in a learning curve just to find out that it doesn't work that well. .
oh well, it beats having to pay huge bucks for studio time. .
