jebbypalWell, I am oh so glad that the other computer place only charged me 40 dollars a month ago, otherwise I'd be pissed.
Just heard from the computer repair place on campus (the fifty dollars for express service was sooo worth it) and they've already diagnosed it. Basically said that although my drive can be made functional via reformats, there is definitely a major issue with some sectors that will require replacement (didn't ask if this was likely rootkit damage or if it was from dust). So 150 for a new 60 gig harddrive, they'll reinstall Windows+security updates (and I guess drivers), and I should have it back tomorrow afternoon!
*dances* Which means I'd have it for the weekend. Which means I wouldn't have to come into the lab for the weekend.
It will be soooo nice to be able to trust my computer again. Now I'll have to decide if I will name it Talyn again or find another name!
