tiamatladyI need a shower, and have been busily working. Like a GOOD doobie.
- Thanks to everyone who gave advice regarding my hard drive and my lack of computer hardware mad skillz. *grins* Props to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
olithered, emarienna for being there and bunicula for knowing when to run *grins* and BIG thanks to xraycb who actually waded through the website and found an answer for me! I SO OWE you at least a drink - this isn't the first time you've saved my "I'll just plug it in and pray" thinking ass. *grins* If you're in London or Cambridge, since I can't really tell WHERE you are, email me privately, use my at livejournal dot com address, and let me know if you'd be available next week for beverage of your choice, or ice cream. Hmmmm, ice cream.....
Anyway, there was a software "fix" that got my 30 gigs up to 137Gig, but the BIOS has limited it at that point, so to get any MORE out of it, I'm back to square one. BUT, rather than be stupid AND greedy, I'm going to take the 137 Gig, and be QUITE content, and fix it when I get a new computer. I will be saving for said computer, and Ebay sales will be earmarked for it as well. I'm sure that I can play with the new computer, transfer files off this one, and reformat it with a fresher Bios that will give me access to the 30 Gigs.
I'm working in the house today, and plan on doing some cleaning, after my shower. I had some LOVELY leftovers. This is a testament to a good restaurant, that the leftovers are SUPER! I reheated them just a bit, til they were warm but not piping, and they were YUMMY! B&D - next time is on me that was so yummy!
I have a meeting tonight that I'm ready for, except for retyping some stuff, and then later I'm going to do some installs, and rip some more CDs. AFTER I do massive amounts of filing and start shredding. I really want my own big shredder with a wastebasket. My mothers is crappy. I dunno if I want to own something called "The Shredmaster" *shudder* (You know, the CHEAP way out of this is to buy a basket, and continue to use the Unit's. Hmmmmm)
Ok I'm going to shower, maybe run over and get an ice cream, and finish working and start filing.
I feel a little better than yesterday. but the underlying emotion is still there, just not rolling to the surface. I wish I knew WHAT it was.

Date: 2004-05-10 01:20 pm (UTC)I was planning on backing up the data, or networking the old to the hypothetical "new" computer, and moving all data before removing drive from old. THEN when I put it into new, it'll be just like it was a brand new drive, format it, and move my old data back onto it.
It's going to be music files and picture files, not anything "important" so to speak. Also, I might just get a new computer with freaking huge drives already installed, and again, network and move, then format this HD for other stuff, like a TIVO.
Should I be concerned that it is unstable as I have it? I haven't installed anything to it as of yet.

The current set up shouldn't be unstable, but with any new combination of hardware you can't be sure until you've tested it for a while.
