Cancelling Stream/Won't be Streaming for a While...
10 years ago
General
My most capable computer, and the only one I can host a stream on, died on me today. It started having some issues with giving me access permissions to my own files and folders. When I tried restarting after trying a few things it failed to fully boot and now my computer is only capable of displaying infinite spinning circles.
So. Yeah.
Fuck me.
Luckily I have DropBox so I won't lose any work files. Unluckily I'm now stuck with using my dinosaur WinXP machine that tends to crash unexpectedly. Needless to say things from me will now be coming along even slower.
If anyone knows what's going on based on that description or can give me tips on doing a fresh reinstall please let me know in the comments.

hard drive is probably toast. they're cheap and easy enough to install, it's reinstalling everything that's the pain

Hopefully I can get the OS without having to purchase it. Hard drives are dirt cheap these days.
it sounds like HDD failure but theres not too much i can base that assumption on.. the reinstalling is the pain in the butt after replacement like shaddor said

Yeah, it seems it's going to be a ton of fun trying to get that back up and running. It just sucks because if the HDD is indeed shot then that means I lost a huge chunk of data that I'll never get back.
