Computer repair update
Saturday, May 31st, 2008I have finally given up trying to reinstall windows on the previous hard drive. Everytime it would get to the Windows installation it would always stall once it hit the spot were there was approximately 13 minutes remaining. This was the portion where it said it was registering components. I left my computer on all day while at work to see if it was just being a bit sluggish, but when I came back it was at the same point. The was the third time in a row after a complete erasure of the drive that it would stall at this point in the reinstallation.
After talking with a few people who know more about computers than I do, we decided that it was some sort of hard drive malfunction. Great. I went to a store called Computer Stop in north Seattle and picked up an 80 GB Seagate hard drive for $50. I came home and took out the defective hard drive and installed the new one. Now I am in the process of once again attempting to install windows. Hopefully it will be a success this time.
Final Note: My computer is finally back up and running again! I didn’t feel like putting on yet another post about my computer woes. Unfortunately though I am without my Microsoft Office software, but I will have to take care of that at a later date.
