Completely FUBAR

windandwaterSolo is dead.
After getting the Blue Screen of Death WAY too many times for me to feel happy, I went ahead and uninstalled AOHELL 9.Fuckyouuptheasswithoutlube in hopes that would save Solo. It didn't. I kept getting the Blue Screen of Death while doing other things (most notably: starting up, shutting down, and running Disk Cleanup). I broke down and went to Circuit City this morning, to see if I could get Solo fixed by a professional since my own dabblings weren't doing CRAP.
So I went, and talked to a tech guy... hahaha... only highlight of the day is that I didn't have to pay for the consultation. Once I told him I had a laptop and was getting the Blue Screen of Death (yes, I said Blue Screen of Death, he's a tech guy, he should know what it means), the tech guys VISIBLY FLINCHED. I saw him flinch. I also told him exactly what the BSoD said, since I wrote it down. He read, flinched again, and told me the only thing there was to do was to reformat the harddrive. *cries* That means I lose EVERYTHING on Solo and bring him back to factory specs. I talked to the guy more to see if there was anything else possible, but he said no, since this is a harddrive problem and can't be fixed without reformatting. He also told me I could do it myself since I have the disks for it.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Now I am using Mama Lin's computer to get online. I need to call my parents, too, and tell them about what happened. I might get a new laptop, but that's iffy. The problem is that like fucking ALL MY NOTES AND WORK is on Solo. So is a whole lot of vital information that I, you know, NEED FOR THE BAR.
I'm going to see if I can't burn off what I can from Solo, since he DOES start up and work for a bit before the BSoD. I'm so fucking glad that I burned off all that anime already. Getting off my personal files shouldn't be so hard and the programs I can always get again. I also burned back-up CDs already of stuff, but I'll fucking DO IT AGAIN, since there's new stuff I have since then, and God apparently hates me THAT much. I don't want to lose the papers I've bled and written.
Don't expect to see me about online. I just want to say that I'm not dead.
And if you have technical knowledge *pokes the Techie* this is EXACTLY what my BSoD says, in case there's something else that can be done. But I doubt it. Even last time, when I went to the Best Buy tech people, they said that Solo had a harddrive problem that they couldn't fix, and would have to ship Solo off to the Sony people. *cries some more*

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates. If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Date: 2005-07-22 09:27 am (UTC)The techie you talked to = retard. There's probably a few corrupted system files easily fixed by a windows repair install (boot off windows cd, choose install, then 'r').
It's sad that I have a low opinion of other techs' knowledge, but when i'm faced with stuff like this, that even one of my green techs would know...
Anyways, Solo's totally fixable if you come down here again. Bring him into work and I'll have him back up and running in two hours.
