Hi.   I recently had a serious problem with my computer.

Today, when I was removing the explorer 4.01, suddently
(coincidentally ?), my hard drive stopped.   alt+del+ctrl didn't work.
I rebooted the computer and my eyes went blank... "Failed Fixed Disk
0"...  christ !!!!  Rebooting the computer again and I forced to
reboot from hard drive and I got got the message "Operating System Not
Found."     shi* !       I inserted the floopy disk and if floppy disk
worked fine.   It worked.   I typed "c:\"  and didn't work.   My brain
went completely blank when I realized I didn't take backup of most of
the files for 3~4 months... tried to take back up just a couple of
days ago but I didn't do it just because...   you know what I mean.

Am I able to survive without computer for a day ??   Of course not.
HELL NO !!!!!  I was thinking of sending this computer to get it fix
it... but this takes too much time.  Is it possible to buy a new
computer ?  Well... I am running out of money.       Will I have days
without posting articles into mtl.general and some others ??    No way
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



... like I said usual... I was sure I could do something for this
problem WITHOUT having a university degree - bachelor of engineering
or whatever.   So... I opened up the box (which was screwed with more
than 10 nails) and saw if anything was funny... (it is not very easy
to see the system inside since it is a laptop. everything is packed
very tightly)...    hard drive seemed to be ok... but how could I
check the inside of HDD...     one of the plate says QC passed in
1986...  well... was it because of age ??  uhh....   my mind was
crazy... not knowing what to do.   I almost completely separeted the
entire unit...   and umm... I saw something... one of three lines
(it's like the lines connected to internal HDD of desktop but the
scale is much smaller and it looks like a piece of plastic... 0.5cm
width) is not hooked up.   Well... I saw the black stripes at the end
but I didn't see same thing for other two.   Well... maybe this was
special and shouldn't be connected.   Wait a minute... I saw an empty
plug...   "maybe this stuff would fit here..."    In fact it did.
But which direction it should be ?   I had to bet.  Oh God...

I rebooted my computer...   no error messages !!!!!!!!
fuh..........ha...............hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...............
I made it... although I failed to remove explorer completely (ironic
?)...   anyways... I took the backup... and everything became fine as
usual.

I strongly suggest you to take backups... I was too lazy to take it
but if you had backup... you wouldn't be in hell when something
happened to your computer...

So... in any cases...   I would like to say to myself... welcome back
to newsgroups !!!!


Regards,
