Well, yea.. it is reanimated, after a major surgery of brain transplant. Duh! I seriously don’t know which monkey hair on me makes me feel like formatting my hard disk. And after that, I can’t install the Windows! Further format and diagnostic tests using Windows boot disk revealed that the disk is damaged. Another 3 times of attempt to format it made me sure of my diagnosis.
Solution: WHAT ELSE? Get a new hard disk!
It is a painful solution as I’m currently damn broke. I spent all my hard-earned Paypal money on this. Imagine, most of us final year students are trying to sell their computers, and I’m here upgrading it, not once, but twice!
First was the 520mb Radeon graphic card.
And now this 250Gb Seagate SATA hard disk.
Sigh. But hell, I had already live 2 days without computer and I’m so sure I just need to get this fixed!
Trust me, my mood is even more gloomy than today’s weather.
Another picture while walking through the short cut to the hospital this morning. Damn sad!
And I spent another 1500rubs on this SATA Seagate 250Gb hard disk (made in China). That fella didn’t sell the wires and I got to buy them in another shop for 25rubs! Grrrr…
Nah you can see the two generation hard disks down there. One is grandpa, one is grandson. Well, it is a SATA, so the speed is almost twice faster than my old PATA hard disk and I have double storage capacity as well.
The old PATA hard disk. I think I’ll try to make use of it again when I think my com is stable enough. Maybe there is some bad sectors inside that can be repaired.
I tried to back up as much files as I could. But I still lost my font which I put on my pictures. The above pictures now have different signature but I decided to settle with the bar code one. Hehe. Any suggestions? I failed to find the previous font, forget how it is called.
Hopefully my computer doesn’t crash anymore!
It is definitely faster and louder and better now. But, at the cost of my $$. Sigh.

huibee,
yea.. am in russia. the weather is okay for me but most people hate the cold winter. we’ll slowly get use to it, and will be complaining that malaysia is too hot to live in.
yea.. come to think of it, quite distracting. will set it smaller i guess.
