Laptop Update

 
Well, I spent an hour and a half down with a dude in Resnet, trying to fix my laptop. We tried everything. And, well, basically, my harddrive is fucked to hell somehow. Except it's not! Because the test he ran came back okay! So it's actually the partitions on the hard drive that are fucked to hell.

My only option, it appears, is to repartition. That is, completely fucking wipe my drive and lost everything on it.

But! I can use dd to make an image of it and maybe be able to recover stuff from there!

But it's a 60gb drive, which means I'd need to clear 60gb on my desktop. Currently, I have 10 free. This means going in and deleting a metric fuckload of shit.

*sigh* Fuck.

Get a Gmail account and stash some stuff there. And you can open as many accounts as you want. That's what I do. I have about 11G's of info, pictures and music stored on Gmail. :)
