Happy Birthday Driv ( Sorry I'm Late)

Well ive been so god dam stressed at the wasted time
ive spent trying to sort my pc, ive had to take a few
days away from it, or it was going to be launched out
the window lol..

Ive now decided to

1) Send my 500gb Off to be Exchanged as it makes a strange
noise if i spin it forward backwards next to my ear.
Its a matalic noise, and Hitachi have send send it in
and have it replaced, < Thinks > That was a little too
easy, i'm thinking they know this model has issues??

2) Build a new pc.
As i have a lot of new components on my old pc, which
will come over, and i will just get more of those
Japanese's PATA to SATA Converters ;\) And over Time
convert my drives.
So now im looking into the cpu / motherboard / memory configurations,
as i now have forgot whats good and whats
not, and what's not worth spending that much on.

IMO a good pc is more like a super pc nowerdays at the fraction
of the cost. But with christmas coming up, i'm inclined to
wait until its over and the sales begin.

I'm staying on an XP platform, not ready for vista yet...

So i'm stressed but getting there slowly and working from
my laptop now, as you guys say at least i'm in control
of this shut down and not picking up the pieces.

Is that right that Vista Home Premium code is backward
compatible with XP and 2000 and ME ??

Hopefully life will begin to pick up again soon,
ive done well 4 years without problems, so i can count
my blessings at home. ( Not my server lol)

Will Take a look at that link NT \:\)
Ive been using some of the recovery utilities on Norton Ghost 9
and there pretty neat, Examine Partition info recovered a full
disc of data, just changed the numbers to match my other drives.
Some how that screwed up trying to make a dual boot.
See what i mean <stress> \:\(

All I do know is that laptops are getting cheaper - purchased one for each of my children for Christmas - £168 each - okay not the fastest processor - but it did include 1GB of ram \:\)

They were also the first Vista machines that I have used - easy to make it look exactly like XP - so easier for the children.

sorry no - but it is only of the joys of being able to purchase outside of rip-off Britain.

Actually, laptops are cheap now adays, my mom bought her hp and Compaq laptops for about $400 USD; 1gb ram, 2+ghz processors.

Myself, I spent $1800 on my laptop in 2001, 256mb ram, 40b hd, 1.6ghz "speedstep" (ie it randomly goes from 1.2ghz to 1.6ghz) p4 mobility processor...
