Been in the works almost a year, we are taking our time because DH's mom is not well and he lost his Dad in April.

Glad to see you're having progress. :)
I remember the pic of some of the work that's been done...such a lot of things to do eh?

Today, it's rather chilly and I'm enjoying a pot of this:

Silly Tiki, I put one of my flannel shirts around her to stay toasty, she decided she'd rather do this:

Well, the lappy bluescreened for no apparent reason, so I figured either overheating or disk going fubar. Did a BIOS disk check, it failed...shit.

So, the next step.
Booted into safe-mode, command line only and ran a command I hate doing because it takes forever and rarely has good news: chkdsk c: /F /R

Bollocks...



Yup, Houston we hava problem....:(

I recommend Acronis, and save the image to a hidden partition from which to boot from (and an external hdd for good measure)

I do use an imaging software, (Paragon Backup 11 Pro) but the issue is that if the data has been mashed and has bad sectors, moving it won't help much. It's a laptop from 2008 or so ago...don't have any lappy drives.

IMO, best bet is see how it goes, then if it bluescreens again, throw *nix on it until the POS croaks. ;)
It isn't worth fixing. This model is known for just dying due to shitty design and parts. It was free anyways and I only have $65 into it.

There isn't anything of importance on it, its just a playtoy really so I can do comp things in the living room while watching TV. The big tower PC is fine as always. =)

Well that's fair enough so long as you haven't lost any valued files. Otherwise you could take the drive out, set it to slave and drag across what you can. But I'm guessing you know what you're doing. I never use chkdsk. It always tells you something's wrong. It used to come on by default with win98 if you shut down incorrectly. I'd forgotton all about it until now.

Well, not panicked, it's just my "extra" laptop computer. Not the only or main computer. :)
If yours does it regularly, something is wrong though and either OS has problems or your hardware does. Probably not long for this world...keep stuff backed up just in case!

An external USB hard drive is a lifesaver. I have a 500GB one for like $25 a few years ago, but there are bigger and cheaper ones out now.

How come some 'verified vu members' - some who have hardly even posted anything, can ask for a badge that says this or that and just get it just like that! and others, myself included, don't? The machine's pissy.

I would probably try to change my badge as often as I change my socks ... so I don't bother asking.

Could be he's jealous that you're the leader in posting activity.

That's a facetious statement, but you never know.

Thanks man. I 'am' busy but it's more the time zone difference now, as I'm starting to get tired by the time everyone starts spending time online.

I mean think about the horror of seeming a man...no nevermind. It's bad enough that I just gave myself that mental image.
