laptop crash

my laptop has crashed twice this year so far. computer cant read my hard drive this morning. does this mean i'm a bad person? what's the most you've had your hard drive fail in 6 months?

fml

ive never had a laptop, but ive never had a computer fuck up on me. touch wood.

i will pray for you and your laptop Fred

gonna get shitcanned

alls the help desk has to do is reimage a harddrive and overnight it to me but I guarantee you those wild animals are going to drag this out into early next week

fred, what kind of router are you running? is it 2.0 by any chance? my uncle ramos was having the same issues. turned out he had one of the newer 2.0 routers installed with 96x portbays. tigerdirect.com has the latest portbays for under $100, so it's a relatively easy fix. but it will fuck you up and erase all your bookmarks if you don't get it sorted.

i dont know, i import my router weekly, i'm sure it's not that. i think it's an issue with my existors because it was working fine last night and now the existors arent accepting any passkeys at all. do you know where i can get a new passkey?

dude, pm me your machine id. Micro$oft will make you re-register and pay for a whole new protocol just to update your passkey, but i have a little hack program that will generate a new one for you. but you can't be connected to aol when you enter the new passkey or they will detect it. if this doesn't do it, then you may need new existors (or reconfiged existors) which is mad money. but before you go that route, let's try the new passkey and make sure that your printer cable is plugged in and your recycle bin is empty.

my soon to be gf crashed her mac on page 19/20 of her final college paper. she got an extension so she could rewrite it but lost 4 years of music photos and files from it. the hd was not recoverable FHL

laptop hard drives are fragile. don't move your laptop when the drive is spinning.

Do sudden harddrive crashes occur? The one time it happened to me files started randomly disappearing, and I got a ton of errors, so I had a chance to backup most things.

Either way, I'm not sure what type of harddrive you had, but try to stick with Western Digital or Seagate. Those have always seemed quite solid to me, avoid Maxtor if you can though.

this. stop shaking your laptop. they're not much sturdier than a baby you know

have you adhered to 4012a protocols? If not, i wouldn't even bother selecting your ported binary hunkmegs. Just strip it down to 42a, remove the little tabs along the safe/bypass AIAIAIA channel so you don't have to re-route your entire config dialog to your outboard extraction kernels. I mean, lol, who is going to debug a hyperthreaded outgoing data exchange port if it hasn't got a b11 safety bus?

that was just a bunch of nonsense

A little arrogant and presumptious on your part i feel

hahahahahahahaha i love you rambo

I think just a change of helmet is in order

lol

this is the "mind internet" at play here. you see, my laptop just yesterday broke down as well. it never does this. notice how fred mcgriffs laptop, although it has once had problems earlier in the year, chose today to muck up again. now, take a look over at my "peed the bed" thread. joyrex claims he also peed the bed just last week, and that it was strange that someone made a thread about it, soon after he had done it himself. this type of thing has happened to me countless times on watmm, and i would assume to lots of others as well. remember how many times youve heards someone say, "weird... i was just about to make a thread about this...weird"

my theory is that we are all connected through this matrix of a not only invisible, but almost undetectable, and absolutely unprovable, internet connection, in which we are all somehow involved. there are rare occurrences, which people call "coincidences", but they are simply just this "mind internet", coming out of hiding and into ones consciousness. its everywhere because its everything we know, until we break out of it and see the "real world", or another illusion

That's just my cock in your ass

best joyrex ever.

Holy fuck, I can't tell anybody apart. You all have fucking alien avatars. Leave me alone.

lol

I spent almost 4 grand on an alienware, and it died twice in a year.

The first time was about a month after they were bought by Dell so I had to fight with thier tech support.

Both times it was related to the raid drives they come with and do not allow you format and unconfigure raid. Thus both times I lost all my data.

My hard drive crashed on my laptop a few months ago. Was not really a surprise, since my laptop is four years old and many start breaking down at this age. However, the crash was the cumulative result of a lot of fucking around on my part. I don't treat my computer well at all. Lately I took my laptop on a trip and didn't bother to turn it off before shoving it in the trunk, and now it's all fucked up again. Confirming what was said about hard drives and their sensitivity to movement.
