This weeks episode: “The Wonders of Computer Restore.” or “Should I Throw it at a wall?”
If the title doesn’t say it all I don’t know what will.
Yep, that lets you know what I have been dealing with. I talked with the people at HP over a sound problem, they talk me through all this stuff, do this dot that… No joy. So, they say, before we have you send it in it would be best if I try a restore. I head up north fifty miles to the closest Circuit City, by this hard drive to make the back up. Back-up made and stored away.
Okay here is where I put off doing the restore… Laalaalaaaaaa….
Two months later I got the MSN group of viruses and it forces my hand. I save a second copy of my I-Tunes, picture and documents and press the button. What a mistake… I do the restore and it goes through pretty easy, couple snags, nothing big. Then I go to put in my back up, *sigh* What a mess. First it wont do anything, then I try to replace the things in my D-drive… I end up with it saying it has 4.32 gigs freespace left of 80 gigs. Whiskey, Tengo, Foxtrot????? I try to look in the folders in it and there is nothing in them, I try to delete them and it says I can’t. MY COMPUTER IS TELLING ME I CAN’T! NO ACCESS! YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME…. NYYA! I finally had to format the drive, everything solved…. Or not…
My great back-up, has everything on it… I can’t get into it to remove the things I need to put back in the computer… All I want are a couple files, I-tunes, documents, etc… And the same thing happened with my C-drive. And what i did get transfered doesn’t access the right way. Why did I do this to myself…?
So now I have it going, but all my wonderful links are gone. The settings are different, files are locked into back-up and not on my computer.
THIS IS NOT MY COMPUTER… Mine is MIA. It makes me sad.
