SitRep:

So far, this has been something of a lousy week for me. My motherboard burnt out on me around Monday, requiring replacement. Problem was that it had my week’s assignments on the C: drive. And I wasn’t able to back them up to the other drives beforehand.
Luckily, there’s a good PC repair shop nearby that was able to help. They were able to get the PC back in action. But they had to replace the C: drive with a much faster drive. I thought that I could access the former C: by using a IDE/USB connection. Problem is that while the PC recognizes the connection, the drive is not given it’s own letter. “USB Mass Storage Device”. “Disk Drive”.
So all of my assignments for this week (Plus the Final Project for one class) is locked away in this drive. Not to mention everything in my mailbox. My contact lists. And numerous other things like images, games, music, et al…
Even if I’m able to get the data back, it’ll take me weeks to get used to this “new” Windows…
I’m amazed at how well I am taking this…
