Nathan Caroland Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Just a heads up - my hard drive sounds like its trying to have kittens. I'm going to be backing up stuff over the next few days in preperation for when this thing decides to give birth and completely quit on me, but should I go missing for a few days - that's the culprit. Hrmmm - stopped its grinding and buzzing, maybe that's a good sign. Grrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green stuff Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Hrmmm - stopped its grinding and buzzing, maybe that's a good sign. Probably not, backup everything and prepare for a replacement. Good luck . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yes - coming from a tec support jockey, backup! backup! backup! Hope for the best, expect the worst and keep a safe copy of everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchkid Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Well you could buy a mac, hard drive is sure to work fine. Same can't be said of MSN on mac though. Seems that computers are bound to give us our fair share of frustration and stress. And the worst part is that I'll probably spend most of my life in front of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I say kick it, as hard as you can, that'll probably fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Yelling at it is also a good solution! Might not fix the actual problem, but you'll feel a whole lot better afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I've whacked and cussed at the machine and its been quiet ever since I've done that, might have learned its lesson. Just in case though, buying some backup CD's tonight. Grrr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0fane Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 I spit on mine when it acts up. Tough love, that's the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
