Ah, "Cat Syndrome" as opposed to "China Syndrome"Originally Posted by jcat
back! That's a bummer. I had the same problem two years ago. Jamie spit up on my computer, and it "fizzled".
Hard drives can be like our cats. They give us subtle hints that they aren't feeling well and get sick at the most inconvenient times.Originally Posted by mferr84
I had to replace my entire hard drive a couple weeks ago. It was giving hints that is was going to go(like beeping at me, and not reading the drive sometimes when I first turned it on), I was just not expecting it when it did. So I lost everything. It sucks. There was so much on my computer, I am not even trying to look for it all again, or re-download it, except for important stuff. It is too much of a pain in the a$$.
Actually it does. When I saw the title, I was surprised to see "reloading Linux" because Windows is usually the culprit. And it is good to see that my view of the world is still intact.Originally Posted by boys mum
luckily we didnt lose anything off the hard drive,charlies good at repairings PCs so didnt cost us anthting,and it was windows fault,we have partioned the harddrive,we use linux most of the time,but use windows for the scanner and digicam,but windows broke into the linux bit of the hard drive and totoally wreacked it,that make any sense????
