My Old PC Back From the Dead

09 Nov 2008 21:36 (Edited: 09 Nov 2008 21:36)

Well I feel I need to write about this because it was a huge sigh of releaf when it worked out.
Basically in the last two months my PC died well kinda the hard drive was not being wrote too properly. It was driving me nuts and b4 that i had got a virus and soo i have been using my laptop latley and its been great however i have not been downloading for like 2 months and i thought i have to buy a new hard drive and start putting the software back on and i really was annoyed about that cause its a lengthy process as most of you know :)

Soo when i remembered i had my old computer b4 the one i recently finished building i have to say its slow but works like a charm. I had originally given it too my sis because her computer had died and soo too fix my sisters computer i took her hard drive out and put it in my old computer which ment that my original hard drive has been sitting in a box for at least over a year.

So I asked my sister if she wanted her computer back because i had bought her a laptop back in march this year she said its all good i dont want it soo i thought eurka!! i took her working hard drive out and then i put my original hard drive back in and hey presto!!! it worked and it did not even have any problems recogising any drivers or anything :) all my programs were there and worked :) The only thing i guess i need to get for this is more ram.

Soo now i am back using my amd 2.2 instead of my 3100 which is now sittin in the corner till i buy new hard drives and i am going to go back to XP and i have XP on this old computer.

Soo for the time being what i have done cause my hdd onthis is now only 40gig soo i got my sisters hard drive formated it and then put it in my external enclosure and now i have a 40 gig external and a 120 gig external lappy drive and now i have got back to my downloading and im loving it :)

I have saved myself some money all i had was to use a bit of my brain and time :)

Remember the old saying
