i am posting from my computer with its new hard drive!

the short version: today I went shopping with [profile] dvarin and we got camping supplies for this weekend and we got me a new hard drive (it's a Maxtor 40GB if anyone wants to comment about Maxtor). after that I had a big DDR party and a lot of awesome people came to it and it was great and I hope everyone had a good time even though I do admit that next time I should just run DDR on two TVs instead of DDR on one and another game on another. at the end of the party, [profile] nickjong and [profile] dvarin helped me put the new hard drive in my computer. my old drive turns out to be a Seagate, which [personal profile] eub says is cursed. Yeah. Anyway, so Windows 2000 installed just fine on the new drive, and I just installed drivers for the video card and all, and except for lacking all my data and applications, I'm pretty happy.

As an aside, I am feeling much better about my showering soaping habits, as it seems that I do follow the most popular method and showering times. I'm sorry that I didn't quite cover all of the different methods, but I was sort of curious about it all, since sometimes I wonder if there's a better way to do it than just rub a bar of soap all over oneself. Lots of interesting input there... I'll reply more to it all tomorrow or later. thanks for the input though :)

later: i got it to recognize my old hard drive, but it doesn't see any data. i wish i could figure out what the fuck reinstalling windows did to it...

Maxtor drives are the best value for the money, nine times out of ten. They're not the most reliable after 2 or 3 years, but it should go for a while with out any problems.

Remember to back up important stuff, and/or pick up another one and a RAID controller.
