Well, My machine is rather old (going on 8 Years) its a 1.2 ghz, we went to the western Digital HD website and the warranties have long passed (2004) and so my buddy wizkid actually believes (and so far hes right) that my hard drives are just dieing of Old age, We put in a spare 15 Gig we had and its all working fine, we did diagnostic checks on my main HD and it Fails completly on the "Raw Read" test and does poorly on lots of other speed tests compared to its normal performance.
the Drive is not completely dead so i can pull off Important and usefull stuff i need! so its honestly Great news, and then also my comp is getting a Graphics Upgrade, in my comp was a 64 Meg Ge force 2, He had a spare 128 Meg G force FX hes letting me put in there, also im finally making the switch from Windows ME to windows 2000 so i can get the latest Vesions of Aim & MSN and even explorer so... its all good, i should be functioning again at home tonight and have a Better computer.. just not nearly as much Hard drive space..
