Panic Over

05/09/2009

When i got back form Sweden i had lots of updates to download and for some reason there was a problem with one of them, but the rest had downloaded fine so i clicked shutdown anyway. The next day when i turned it on it just wouldn’t and came up with a blue screen and the wheel turning round and round, i tried a few tips that i found on the web but nothing worked! At this point i wasn’t really panicking and thought all would be fine and went off camping with my friends for the weekend. When i got back i decided to take my laptop in the apple shop, the tried a few things and failed to make any sense out of it, so they signed it in for repair. I was asked to bring in my install disks so later that day i bought them in, and when i handed them of the guy told me “you’re mac may be more than a little broken” panic struck! oh shit oh shit oh shit! he gave the disks to another guy and came back and said “sorry that was another mac” few few few anyway the next day i spent it thinking that i had lost all my data and that they would have to re-set my mac. I phoned up the day after to see how it as going “i have no idea, we are going to re-install the disks and see, you realise that will wipe your data” waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah “yes” so i cried for a few hours and then just when i was coming to terms with it i got a voice mail! which was long and basically said, your data is ok, but u would need a new hard drive and a caddie for your old hard drive, which would connect via usb. Well in a rush of excitement i called the shop up, probably talking no sense at all and the guy ended up asking for my name and then he explained i could either wipe the hard drive and start again or pay 55 quid to get a new bigger hard drive and caddie and as i am stupid and have not backed up any files, i screamed new hard drive new hard drive, i was filling the old one up anyways!! “Ok, that will take an hour and we will call you when it’s done” “Thankyouuuuuuuu” 3 hours later. “hello, it’s all done and really to collect, but i would get your data of fast, your old hard dive is failing” shit shit shit oh shit! so i rushed in to town! and it doesn’t even end there, i went to pay but my card was declined because the bank are idiots. any way that sorted i paid and was told how to access the old hard dive as it wasn’t showing up when you plugged it in! I then rushed home and turned on my laptop and quickly dragged the filed over, took a few hours but it’s all safe now and my laptop it functioning pretty well!
Im sure no one will read this but panic over!!!
