Because your laptop is part of your family why would you give up and pull the plug on a family member?
would you not try to keep them alive?
Buying a MAC is like wearing a condom.

I may do that - if I have to thats what I have to do, but I don't want to throw money away if thats not hte problem.
The HD for notebooks/lap tops are not made for shock,
look at it this way,
Picture taking your desk top PC with you every place you go.
How long would it last?
DELL makes the heaviest notebooks for a reason.
Yeah - I think its likely I ed it up somehow. I've dropped my notebook a couple of times but for the most part I'm not harsh with it but either way my sister has borrowed it some lately and who knows what has happend.
Is it Toshiba?
Acer Aspire 5100.
I reinstalled windows - just threw XP Pro on there instead of Media Center. I'm downloading drivers right now and I'll try to figure out if the performance has improved. So far its like night and day but with nothing running on it its kinda hard to tell.
Although really just booting up was an ordeal last night, so maybe this fixed it. I don't know.
Mac's rarely have hardware issues.
And if they do, it's quickly resolved by AppleCare.
That is, if you're sense of fun is fixing up ed up Windoze PC's.Buying a MAC is like wearing a condom.

dp a dosk check it will tell you if you have bad sectors and try to fix them...im glad you reloaded xp cause thats something you should try before you buy anything and if i was you before i went and got a 200bib drive i wold take mouse up on his offer and try out that hard drive he has to see if thats really your issue unless going to mouses house is the real issue....and if thats the case i understand....honestly i think you were just infected....what did you see when you opened up your task manager...and yes i know i said i was going post pictures and I forgot but i have a 23 inch flat if anyone is interested.
Reinstall looks like it fixed it. Nothing was running under the task manager. 98% CPU usage was system idle.
Its not running anything so I'm not sure how fixed it is, but with a bare XP pro install on there it seems to run fine. I hear the HDD going which is something that I didn't hear yesterday for whatever thats worth.
well hearing it is not always good....if its a grind clicking type you might what to start investing towards a replacement for that Jacque Vaughn hard drive you got in your hands now
run that check disk and after the 5th stage it will tell you how many bad sectors yo have...could just mean theres a portion of your disk that was hosed and thats where that data was written on that i was trying to access....
They do here......
300 or so Macs and Powerbooks - at least three a week with hardware issues.
25,750 PC's and Notebooks (number could be 30k, only 25.7k are checking in) at least 10 a week with hardware issues. IBM compats are like Chevys and Fords the parts are cheap, everywhere, and easy to install.
Now if you want to talk OS....that's a different argument.
Hardware in an Apple is the same as the hardware in a PC. It's also the same as the hardware in a DVR and an Xbox360. No reason a Mac's HDD would be more stable. Apple contracts their hardware production to companies like Asus.
A truer statement would be that Mac's rarely have software issues. Windows will continue to have problems until Microsoft finally stops upgrading the same piece of software and starts from scratch. It's like adding a new room to a house with a shaky foundation.
DannyT how much is the 23 inch flat screen?
Manny if your ever at a Torrent site get a program called Microscope 2000.
you put the cd and it has it's own operating system it will check all the parts to the PC and tell you whats wrong. It will do RAM and HD and all kinds of tests.
Even if your HD is dead.

its one of these
Like fun the don't. I know someone who has a Mac laptop
and has a CD stuck in the slot. Tried all the tricks to get
it out, yeah, Mouse, he googled and so it is off to the
repair place. Mac doesn't have tray they have a slot.
I'll keep my Acer. Cheap, but it works.
Manny, I see where you loaded XP, where can you buy a
copy of XP cheap, or can you, that Brother Bill will keep updated.
My Acer has Vista, slow, even tho I put 2 GB of RAM on the thing.
It helped, but still slow.
Try this, you really want to be sure there aren't any problems with your hard drive before you start downloading more gay porn, you don't want to loose all of that after spending all of your time downloading it:
