So today I had my wisdom teeth out. Wasn't all that big a deal, now I'm just sore and recovering. Hopefully by the end of tomorrow I'll be fine. Basically my computer decided to kick the bucket and this time it looks like it's for good. It's actually not all that surprising considering the fact that it was essentially a jerry-rig built to last no more than a few months and it's not been running for more than two years.
What was its downfall you ask? Heating issues with the harddrive. After almost 36 hours of continual scans in an attempt to salvage the drive the thing still gives out after attempting to load "giveIO.sys" I could start taking more drastic measures to try and save the thing, but I feel like I'd rather not risk the data. There were 24 corrupted sectors found after all those scans, so I imagine that it would need a full system re-install which could threaten to break everything. So I'll be mildly computerless for a while. Sorry for any incovience.
Why didn't you tell them how you hooked up an actual window fan into the back of your computer to try to keep it kewl. That thing was sweet.
