That sound you hear
…is my head hitting the nearest flat surface. For the last while, my laptop has been crashing more and more often. When I got the “operating system not found” error, I figured I was in trouble. ScanDisc is no longer finishing. It restarts 10 times, quitting 70% of the way through and reports that another program is writing to the disc. This is after I’ve quit out of everything but the system tray and explorer. After numerous stops and starts, the hard-drive is finally defragged, which seems to have helped somewhat (though scandisc is still not working). But every time I try to reattach my wireless pci card, it restarts in safe mode.
I’ve brought my laptop to work (where it started in safe mode without the card- not good at all) and I’ve borrowed the Norton disk for pcs. Am anxiously awaiting the results now. With luck, it’s not a hardware problem.
On the other hand it would be a good excuse to spend a lot of money I don’t have.
I really need to get this fixed soon so I can concentrate on school.
