Mar. 11th, 2005 03:34 pmI came in this morning to find my computer locked up and BSOD'd.
A half dozen reboots later, I got it into diagnostic mode and started running tests. Two hours of diagnostics later, I called dell and told them the results and without even questioning me they wrote me up for needing a new hard drive.
So then I dug up a spare computer, hooked it up, and went to restore all of my files, only to find that the backup was about 6 months old.
Fight witht he broken computer some more and get it to boot so that I can look at the backup routine, then go to the other server and recover the current (as of last night) backup of all the important files.
Not a very productive day, and I'm hoping that when the new drive comes in I can clone the old one onto it.
