I got 99 problems and a hard drive is one.
Monday, June 1st, 2009Hey guys, which you might know, this computer I’m using is well passed its prime. I’ve gotten Cyclic redundancy error on the D: drive before, and fixed it with CHKDSK, but now I’ve got it again, and I got it bad. It’s – like we say in computer lingo – fucked. However, I’m running CHKDSK again, hoping it’ll solve it, but it’s literary taking forever. And I mean forever. Like, I’m not expecting it to finish before time as we know it has ended, and the sun has exploded. Cause, you know, It’s been going for more than 8 hours already. 8h is damn close to infinity.
So, because of this, I’m trying to not use the computer at all right now and just let Checkdisk finish. And that’s why there’s no update today, and for this I’m sorry. Guess it’s my fault entirely too, apparently I shouldn’t have formatted that drive. I really think that these hard drives are living on borrowed time, so I’ll try to backup as fast as I can.
(And if someone says “get a Mac” I’m going to KILL MYSELF…)

EDIT: Status update, +24 hours and counting and CHKDSK’s still going. I’m starting to think this was a bad idea.
