Mmm Hardware issues

Grumble and YAY!

Ok first the grumble.

I and psuche (my bro) spent the better part of Friday and Saturday trying to get my computer to work. First, I wanted to get my DVD/CD RW drive to recognize disks. So we spent some time figuring out what the issue was and why it couldn't read disks but could get Eject signals etc.

Needless to say, I exchanged it for a new one.

In the process of trying to fix it, one of my system files for XP got unrecoverably corrupted. We tried many things and eventually said it was unfixable, though I could still access the drive thankfully.

Needless to say, I got a new harddrive.

So this morning I spent most of it (til about and hour ago) trying to install XP onto the new hard drive. Apparently I was having some clashes with my memory and was freezing up. Still in the process of adding my previous antivirus and protection programs until just about....now.

YAY bro for helping me fix that!

Now I am up and running and am jonesing to play my game again...ahem I mean use my computer again.

Call me a dork, you know you want to!
