Well, crap. Laptop dead.
Gah. Trival annoyance time again.
Tonight instead of booting up, I got an "Unmountable Boot Error" on my laptop. Fortunately, it's an easy problem to fix: just put the Windows installation disk in the disk drive, and hit R at the welcome screen.
Unfortunately, this is the laptop whose disk drive went on the fritz, and the new drive turned out to be incompatible.
Fortunately I have Sandy's computer to work on, so I can send resumes and stuff out, and I have copies of my resume on gmail.
Unfortunately, I can't get my other stuff off the laptop.
I'm honestly not sure that this computer is worth the $40.00 - $60.00 that a refurbished drive (of uncertain compatibility) would cost.
*sigh* and so it goes.
