HDD Woes and a New MacBook on the Way

Posted in Life, Tech on July 21st, 2008 by admin

Alright so I was on my powerbook working away in dreamweaver making a couple new pages. I decided to add a link in my sidebar. I went and edited it in fireworks, all was fine, clicked the done button and then bam… nothing happened, still no button on my sidebar. Try it again, still nothing. So I decide to quit and reopen dreamweaver. But when I tried to open it back up, it said there was a fatal error and I’d have to reinstall the software. So I decided to do just that. Only problem was… the installer wouldn’t work. So now it was time to restart the computor… didn’t help, finder kept restarting constantly I find my way into disk utility and fine out… ”This drive has reported a fatal hardware error to Disk Utility.” and thin it told me to retive as much data as possible off the drive and then replace it…

 

Well I’ve been considering getting a new MacBook for a little while now and I’ve got almost enouph cash saved up (will have enouph by the time the bill comes) So I figured now was as good a time as any so…

I decided to get the cables to allow me to hook it right up to my HDTV for my viewing pleasure :)

 

Untill then I swapped out the old 20GB Hard Drive from my iBook into the PowerBook so I have something to use till My new one arives, It’ll be nice to have all that extra Power and storage :)
