Solo 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*
( This is for Techie types )
