Let the fun begin...
Dec. 13th, 2005 11:08 amGAAAAAH!!! Technology officially hates me. My computer is now more dead than before... *cry*
So.. Sunday night I reformatted it.. and everything was good. It worked, I loaded on my programs and the world was happy. It was working and such. Then last night I started getting "Windows - Delayed Write Failed" errors again. And this time they were happening more frequently. And it was lagging everything more... Then I let it sit, and when I get back... I get a lovely boot cycle of doom and death. *insert lots of cursing at the machine*
Last night with Jacob I wiped the damn thing again and installed windows again. And... it kinda worked. It boots up (slowly) but I dont have all of the windows xp options. I can't change it to look like xp, half of the stuff is just not there... so clearly it didnt work... again. We ran a chkdsk. And it came up clean. So my harddrive isn't the problem. We think it's the install I'm using. *stares at dain* Yay for technology.. *sigh*
My exams start tomorrow. Fun times. I've been studying though which is good. I'm feeling pretty good about genetics right about now. Goals for today are to make my anthro review sheet, read it a few times, then finish up the genetics. The thing that sucks is that it's a 2 part final. The first part is the pop genetics and cancer and development (which shouldn't be *too* bad since I know a lot of it already) and then a second cumulative part. And I must *pwn* both. Grawr.
Anyway... to the books!!
