Computer issues...again!
11 years ago
So, I'm hoping this will all be over soon but...
Once again, I'm having computer issues. I'm fairly certain this stems from my having crappy hard drives and don't have the money to buy new ones.
I /THINK/ I have one drive that is in good condition. As I write this, Gparted is working on partitioning the drive. After that, I'm going to run a low-level format on it to ensure it is not rampant with bad sectors and then try to install to it.
For those who are curious, I'm writing this journal using Firefox running on a liveCD instance of Ubuntu while working on setting up this hard drive for use.
Okay, Gparted has finished it's work, so I shall finish this journal. Wish me luck!

I'm going to keep using this drive for now, but as soon as I can I'm going to be buying a new one. I just did a pricing on Amazon and wow. Things are a lot cheaper then I remember! You can get a WD 1TB blue for about $60!
Technically, I still cannot afford it, but. Eh. I might just buy it anyways. I have money earmarked for a drawing tablet PC, but as I'm a ways away from affording that thing anywho, and I need to be able to art in the meantime, I may just steal $60 from my tablet fund for my poor PC...
