well the hard drive is definitly dying...

what shit lol, spent days copying all the files BACK over to it after reformatting it..

now its acting up again.. takes 4 or 5 bootups till it even gets recognized.. it randomly stops working after I finally get the damn thing to even work at all... and when it does work.. reading or writing to it.. it will slow down.. stutter a few times.. and then work fine for a minute before stuttering again.. its especially noticable running music, or video files .. or playing games.. then the same files are totally smooth when running them off the other drive..

ran chkdsk overnight (took forever.. idk.. it ran for about 5 or 6 hours before i went to bed and it was only 33% on step 4, and it was 20% about 3 or 4 hours earliar lol) and it found a ton of problems.. and of course its attempt at fixing the problems is just deleting the data in those sectors and telling me that not only do the errors still exist, but that it has also deleted some of my files..

so i bought a 500gb drive today..

only problem is its a SATA drive and my pc needs IDE or whatever.. and of course not a single store around here has any adaptors in stock.. so i had to order one online.. which means i wont be able to do anything for like a week probably..

so ya.. since i enjoyed not being around last weekend... im gonna do it for another week or two.. at least...
