Will be away, unknown how long

[Devlin]

So yeah, as of tonight I'll be off WoW for an unknown period of time as my Laptop has decided to get f**ked and crash, and now I am unable to restart even so far as to try to reinstall windows, it is stuck on the screen where you can choose Setup or Boot Options, not that either of those do any good.

Anyhow, my brother knows a guy who's good with computers and so I've written down all that happened and he's gonna ask him at work tommorow if there is anything I can do. At this stage I'd even accept reinstalling windows despite the fact I'd lose everything on my HDD.

As for how I'm writing this, old crappy desktop that only has WoW installed to TBC and I can't be f**ked to install WotLK on it so I'll be off WoW til I either fix my computer or buy a new one.

As you can probably tell I'm a bit pissed off by this so yeah, I'll be off til I work something out.

No idea what to assume is going on with Reb IC during my away-ness, I'll work something out.

See ya around folks.

Sounds like a boot sector's gone poof - tends to be fixable, if one knows what one is doing. If one doesn't, all data is usually recoverable - you just need a machine to insert the disk into (Or be an admin like me, and have Teh Tools)

Edit: It's either that, or a motherboard malfunction - but I'm still leaning towards the "Your disk has a problem" theory.

Based on what happened and what I've looked up, its leaning towards some kind of harddrive failure it seems, but how bad it is I won't know until I can find someone who knows what they're doing to take a look at it.
