Dead Hard Drive
My hard drive on my windows box died. Crap on that. Thankfully, the only thing that I really needed off of it were my poker statistics and Half-Life 2 savegames.
I’m beginning to think that I’m cursed, as this is the third or fourth time since coming to college that I’ve had to replace a hard drive. Whatever the reason, I’ve been driven to take more extreme measures now. I’ll be setting up a RAID 1 configuration. I just ordered two Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB drives per the recommendation of ArsTechnica’s budget system guide. In a few days, hopefully this will all be behind me.
