I now have a very nice HP Slimline paperweight on my desk. The poor thing had serious malfunctions going on so I tried to reset it to factory specifications once again, this time telling it to trash everything and reformat the user’s partition of the hard drive. That did not work out so well, the poor computer made it partway into that and went to the Blue Screen of Death, telling me there had been a major problem and it was shutting down to prevent damage to the computer.
I tried again to get it to start up, it’s not gonna, so I called my brother. With luck he knows something about it that I don’t and can save the poor thing for me. He won’t be out here till this evening, so today, despite the fact I don’t like to, I am forced to use my little laptop like it was a desktop computer. ::wince:: I know that burns the poor things out, but I really don’t have any choice, I have to get some work done.
