My computer died a couple weeks ago. Well, it didn't die; ClamWin ate some system files and Windows couldn't boot anymore. That's what I get for using a free antivirus.
Anyway, this set me on an annoying path. I lost access to my computer and files, obviously, but I also lost access to my KeePass database so I couldn't log into some sites at work like my bank and credit card.
(Only $50 through my connections.)
Western Digital Caviar Black (5-year warranty) 640 GB.
19" SATA cable.
When I finally got Win7 running I had no drivers for my third-party wireless networking card. So, I still couldn't fix anything or get my computer set up with all the various programs I needed to make it not suck. I went home last night and got the driver disc from the attic... only to find they didn't work. Sigh. Today at work I had to borrow a USB drive to get the updated drivers home.
Computers are gay.
