One week... damn computer started giving me a hard time. First, one of the 3 200GB hard drive mysteriously unformatted itself. I reformatted it, OK no problem. A few days later, second 200GB hard drive started behaving badly and wouldn't save any new files so I copied everything to different HD and tried to reformat it but formatting failed. I ignored it for now.
My DVD burner started burning coasters if I burn on CD-R and it's less than 300MB. Still waiting to hear back from HP on this matter.
Then a few days ago, my mobo quit. Got a new one, had to reinstall Windows XP only to find the XP CD got scratched somehow. This morning, some toothpaste and 30 minutes worth of elbow grease later I was able to get XP to install and I'm back up and running. one of the 200GB HD is finally formatted. DVD burner still has issues. :P
On a brighter note, I finally found the scanner. Now if I can remember where I left those 2 doujins I was going to scan last fall.
