Man the last week and a half were rough. The phone is OK for checking the forum while away or at work but it really does suck for anything serious. The day before the Easter weekend I lost the hard drive in my laptop. I was launching Google Earth and stood up to reach for the TV remote and when I sat back down my screen was black with a cursor flashing in the top left corner. A quick check revealed my HDD had crashed. Because of the holiday weekend it took several days to get a new drive.I ordered it from a buddy of mine that does computer repair and networking services etc. and told him I was fine reinstalling the operating system from my recovery discs and he would try and recover my crashed data and files. I attempted several times to reinstall Windows but it kept stopping near the end.Turns out the recovery discs that were created by the vendor when I bought the computer were corrupt. :headbang Back to Dave for help. Eventually I was able to get back up and running with about 98% of my old data recovered and a better version of Windows 7 that Dave was able to load for me. It feels great to be back online with a 17 inch screen instead of fat fingering a tiny little touch screen on a phone. now i am in the process of reloading all my recovered data and reorganizing it as it was really a mess before. that shouldn't take much more than a month or so.
