Lappy died :(

Parents puter just went down the other day as well. Literally thousands and thousands of pictures gone because the dummies didn't save them to a disc.

Your a dummy as well for not saving them to a disc.

This reminds me I need to save mine to a disc or I will be a dummy as well.

 
I'm hoping I can recover something. I found a 250gb 7200 rpm hard drive on newegg for $80, so I think I'll jump on that. I'll steal my parents' external HD and boot off of it, and perhaps I can get my files off my current HD. Add on top of that I have to fix the LCD inverter. I think I'm going to fix the HD, Inverter and add more RAM... should come up to approx $150, which ain't bad.

 
My plan is to pretty much boot with an external hard drive and see if I can bust into the broken HD.

Any help is welcome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you can simply throw in a ubuntu desktop disc, boot it up from that and open the NTFS drive from there..

 
Nah, I found a 250gb WD 7200 RPM for $80 on newegg. As for an external HD, I'll either use my Zune or my parents' external HDD.
it's 500gb more for $5 less. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
