Default Argghhh computers!

Not having a good technology day so far. Last night I went into the store and asked for a transfer of data from one phone to the other...they said it transferred an instead of me checking it I took their word on it and asked them to erase the data on the old phone. None of my appointments transferred...argghhh hoping they are all written on the calendar because I couldn't get the phone to sync with my computer.

This morning I go to boot up this laptop to take on the trip...it won't boot!!! Put in the system disk and it tells me no operating system found! So I fiddle with it a few times and it says it needs to destroy the system partition and then it tells me the data will be destroyed....well I have most of everything backed up... well I cancelled out and up comes my computer! Go figure. So running virus scan... going to bring my system disk and my CS3 disk with me in case I have to do a destructive recovery. I did NOT need this on my way out of town.

There weren't any 9-11 viruses circulating or something was there...or is that purely coincidental?

Wish me luck...I'm afraid to power it down. I may end up carrying a brick out of town and back....oh I hope not!

Well my computer had problems again last week with not booting up...tech support said they think it is a motherboard problem...so my computer arrived at their site today...hoping I won't be without it long as my ds' laptop is extremely slow in comparison to my laptop. I miss my laptop.

ds' laptop has 1gb ram and it has vista so running PSE on it is slow. I'm having to use one of our oldest computers to check e-mail and chat just so I don't lock it up while scrapping. You should see me with two tv trays and two computers going. lol
