Alright got on Gmod for the first time since school started and played for a few hours. As I was right in the middle of a trade with a player (name was something like Richard Temper or something like that) I got a BSOD and my computer BSOD'd every single time I tried to restart it. The last time this happened my hard drive's boot sector was corrupted so I'm pretty sure my harddrive did it again. I'll be out until I get a new drive.

I feel really terrible because I had Richard's Mama's beads in my inventory when I crashed and hadn't paid him yet so if someone could refund his artifact in game that would be nice. I'm typing this on my sister's computer.

Son of a bitch.

JUST as we started getting more active too. I hope you're back soon.

If the boot sec is dead. Im sure you mean the boot sec as in Windows? Cause if so, just format the drive.

Yeah I I know about that. But this happened like 2 months ago too so I can't imagine the drive itself is going to last much longer. It's been making weird noises for the past several weeks and it's 5 years old. I would rather get a new drive that I know will hold out. Plus Frys has a lot of good ones for uber cheap. I should be back on Sunday if all goes well, running Winows 7 64 bit.

Unlucky Paint, Fairplay though, if your MOBO supports SATA, get one, and it's pretty cheap to get a terrabyte drive these days too, so don't give that a miss either.

Yeah Fry's has a 1.5 TB SATA for $100 flat for sale from Seagate so I'll probably pick that up. Might even get back tonight but I doubt it. Posting from school right now.

My friend told me that he saw a few 1 TB HDD's for $100. I have a 500 GB, which is more than enough. I suggest 500 GB.

I've been here for 6 months...I'm not sure how you want me to answer that question.

Wow Tea, dick question to ask.

Alright I'm alive again on a new Seagate 1 TB drive running Windows 7. Still installing games and shit. Will be back on Gmod by tomorrow at the latest.
