Alright. Right now me and my Dell laptop are not seeing eye to eye.
We can't seem to get along anymore. I yell and it ignores me. I've tried everything to make it up to him for whatever I've done but, *sigh* It's being really really stubborn. I've given it flowers, cleaned the room, fixed the faucet, painted the checkered wall, that I did as a joke, back to its original color, brought him out for dinner, given him massages but still. He still isn't responding to me. He's not sick as far as I know and I've even gone as far as rearranging the furniture around. *Sigh* I don't think this relationship is going to happen anymore. D' has just.....gone his separate way.
Okay Okay, I know that was corny, but that's basically what it feels like.
After 4 years of service, I think this (hella heavy) 18.2 pound laptop has kicked the bucket. Before it was giving me those stupid kernel_data_inpage_errors on an irregular basis. I ran system checks, tool diagnostics, chkdsk /f /r, IDE diagnostics (which never really gave me an answer), system restore, and when it actually started, I tried defragmenting (I know, that had nothing to do with anything, I just had to try it) but alas. I also tried reseating the cd rom drive and the HDD. It's not talking to me anymore but telling me that my primary hard disk drive and fixed optical drive is not found. BIOS tells me that it's not installed so now what? Can't be a virus because that thing doesn't even get internet, and everything that gets transferred there gets scanned in the main desktop computer first.
*sigh* How convenient that the warranty just happened to have just expired not too long ago. Now I'm at my wits end. I feel a conniption coming on. If I didn't have high blood pressure before, I'm probably going to get it now.
I think it's because I called my laptop stupid. Now it's getting back at me.
Me: I'M SORRY BABY I'M SORRY!! I DIDN'T MEAN IT! JUST GIVE ME BACK MY DATA!!! ~*SOB*~
I wanted to back up my data before trying to reinstall the OS but now it won't even log in. Not that it did before. Man. This sucks. Now all I want is the data in that hard drive. But I doubt it will now. Yesterday the laptop gave me it's first primary hard disk drive 0 failure. DAG NAB IT. I don't like the sounds of that. But I still want to try anyways. Lousy *grumbles*. Maybe it's a damaged logic card or storage media on the HDD. But I don't want to send it in. It'll probably cost more then a new HDD. Sigh. I guess I can live without my files. They're not insanely important after all. But I would still like to get the laptop to work. Tomorrow I'm going to go off in search of an IDE adapter cable and see if I can get some stuff off of that piece of junk HDD.
Watch, it's not going to work because I said that. FORGET I SAID THAT!! But seriously, research shows that I will probably not get anything out of it. *sigh* Stupid IBM hard drives, Stupid Dell, Stupid computer. Why wasn't I born a computer wiz?
This is my last line. I'm going to wait for my aunt to come down before I call Dell Tech Service. After this, if it doesn't work, my laptop will probably be nothing but an insanely heavy, large, expensive and clumsy paper weight.
