My main PC's HDD is on the fritz when I returned from vacation late yesterday.

Tried my best to do a system recovery and can't even get to the partition to delete or format.
So guess I'll do some shopping on NewEgg and see about getting online when it arrives.

Bummer :( Maybe its time to give an SSD a try?

Never mind Kleinicken, the main thing is that you are up and running again. The rest will come later...:D

No to hijack your thread kheinicken but I was just going to inform the team of my main going down. Hard drive crashed and burned. I have a wedding today, Father's day tomorrow so I'll be down until Monday. To use a cool word from the another topic my 'Megaday" machine is down.:mad: I'll get it running as soon as I can. Sorry guys.

Get that MegaDay machine running again soon as you can. We're hoping to have you up on the new PG challenge!

[I'm very glad to see my newly invented word is starting to spread, I'm so tickled!]

.....And Don't be sorry! Hardware failures are not your fault! Just take it in stride and do what you can to get 'er fixed. That's all that's needed!

I love your term. I've used it both here and in the chat room we have. GREAT way to describe boxen, crunchers, etc...

Thanks Max. I hope it spreads far and wide! I could consider it an achievement in my life that made it all worthwhile!

Perhaps it could even open up a new Sub Team?
