My laptop crashed last night and I got the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death". Fortunately I don't keep too much of great importance stored on my laptop, so I'm not hyperventilating or having major heart palpitations. Now if my desktop crashed...well let's just say it would be quite the traumatic experience. (Note to self: back-up desktop with an external hard drive-ASAP!!!)
I mainly use my laptop to work on papers for school. I also use it to surf the net and play. There's a good chance I'm going to loose some school related items from past semesters, but nothing I'm in dire need of recouping. I'm not even sure it's worth it to try and retrieve anything. I'm thinking it might be easiest to just wipe the hard drive clean and reinstall XP. If I choose that route, I think now is the time to crack open my laptop and add some RAM memory. It really needs a bit more anyway.
edited to add: It seems that the backup disks that came with my laptop-the ones with xp-have mysteriously disappeared. Grrrrrr. How the hell am I supposed to reinstall the os when I can't find the os?
