My ‘baby’ crashed again last night after re-formatting, re-installing the OS and re-installing the programs.
I think it’s seriously messed up and I contacted DELL about a new hard drive.
I am still under warranty [thank God!] and for once, they’ve been quick and helpful with their support… they’ll send me a new hard drive within 1-2 business days for no charge.
So, let’s start fresh… and hopefully I will have an ‘almost’ completely new laptop this coming week ;) Thanks for bearing with me.
Friday was laundry day and in the afternoon, I worked on my laptop. Well, what a waste of time considering that it broke down again last night. Funnily enough, this morning the laptop booted up normally. Don’t ask me how this was possible, but it seems like it has a mind of its own. Anyway, I think I’ll be much better of with a replacement. I really don’t want to deal with another crash in a couple of weeks.
Yesterday was a beautiful day. Sunny, not too warm, and I decided to get into my workout habit again. So I went for a run on Campus. It’s really convenient to have the Campus close by and to not have to run on the streets.
I went grocery shopping afterwards and then in the evening Aaron came over to watch a movie. We watched “Merry Christmas“. Very good movie. I recommend it.

February 13, 2007 at 5:16 amI’m so sorry about your laptop! I am always paranoid about this happening to me. I now back up frequently.
Good luck with the new hard drive!

February 13, 2007 at 7:48 pmGood to hear that Dell was so helpful to send you a new hard drive ASAP. We don’t want to have a laptop anymore, because of such issues. We had two and they broke down three times…so now we got a Dell PC, because they are easier to fix and live longer…says my hubby. ;-)

February 16, 2007 at 2:54 ami honestly believe that computers/laptops have a mind of their own. like sometimes they act that you really can’t believe that it’s possible. so i really hope the new harddrive will work finally. very frustrating when you spend so much time to fix things and the time was useless. fingers are crossed.
