Once you've gone Mac
You'll never go back ...
While I felt fairly clever when that came to me I'm certain it has been said before. And, no, I'm not buying a Mac.
And I really don't have time to make fun of my problem. Which is: My computer is, once again, booting to a cursor.
The drive is recognized and appears to be in good shape. All the data is there. The little piece of the magic that causes an operating system to load has run out of pixie dust.
I, at this point, don't think it's the drive.
For the record, though, if I end up having to reload XP and all the apps, this will be the fourth time since mid-January. (Once was a hard drive updgrade. Another was the same problem I have now. The third was the new drive going into click-and-lose-your-shit mode. And, possibly, today.)
I shut my computer down using the Start button or the button on the Dell that does a pretty little shutdown! It isn't like I rip this thing out of it's dock while it's writing data, close the lid while it's still on and stick it in bag where the temperature climbs to 1000 F (22C). Yes, I know: Poor me.
