Chickensoup, This is NOT “News/Activism!” There are Forums such as “Bloggers & Personal” & “General Interest Chat” for this type chit chat. Please do not misuse FR!

Never heard of it. Where does it put the backup?

I had an acer and could not find a good one online. Need fast. 16 inch screen would be nice.

Tech called and said the disk is damaged. Wants a little over a hundred to put in a 300 mg disk. He diagnosed it, did it on a weekend. Makes sense to me. I can do the system restore.

God I hope the maxtor actually worked.

That sounds reasonable, the hardware alone is at least 50.

Something I read a while back.

It actually worked for me when a 120GB hard drive on my desktop started to act funky.

Take the hard drive and put it in a plastic bag.

Then, put it in your freezer!

After a couple hours, take it out and plug it back in.

You now have about 15 minutes of successful run time before it starts acting up again, or maybe just fails outright.

I was able to rescue everything I didn’t have backups of, so worked for me!

I know. It’s tough being unpopular. At least my family loves me. :)
