Laptop currently out of commission
Oct. 17th, 2012 01:15 pmI'm posting this from my desktop computer, as my laptop is currently out of commission.
It's gotta be something with the first bit of storage space, as for the last week it's taken a whole minute or so to load the operating system selection menu.
Anyway, now it takes less than fifteen seconds to come up with a "Read Error", so I'm currently doing what I can to attempt to fix it.
I could spend about $90 to buy a new 160GB drive, but that would leave all the other problems this laptop is having.
(which includes vertical coloured lines on the LCD display and the keys not necessarily cooperating all the time either)
The best (but most expensive option) would be to buy a whole new laptop, but I won't be able to afford that for quite a while.
After all, this laptop is at least eight years old...
