Guilty. My crappy job sucks up a lot of quality tv time. Sorry.

I thought you were spending more time at home after injuring yourself. It's on Netflix, so get on it.

Doc wrote the note for today and even though my back still feels like shit I had to return to work. I will put that show on my netflix though.

it's not that good. It's ok, but that's about it.

to be honest, you may need to take your HD out and get it virus scanned and test it with another computer.

This is what I would do. It doesn't sound like it's a BIOS issue. It sounds like it's getting past POST fine. It's most likely a corrupted HD.

But it does get referrenced here quite a bit because of some of the IT nerds.

Yes. Accept it...I had to about 2 years ago. All of my por...music was gone just like that.

Well see if you can extract any data. There is a chance that just your XP is fucked, but that you can extract files from it still.

Maybe. Maybe not. It depends on if you can pull info off your HD or not. Even then, I would be really careful on what you transfer over since any number of files could be corrupted.

You could connect the HD to another computer and run a virus check on the specific drive.

Brother in law said we'll try to do that tonight. Cross your fingers for me.

Yes. I said this earlier.

Rob doesn't like it when you repeat what he has already said. And he said all of tha earlier.

[nerdious dorkus]

Sorry. I zone in and out when reading Rob's posts.

It's looking like a power supply issue, but we're still working on it.
