Bump. What became of the failed hard drive?
I am going to tell a long story because it is funny. If you don't want the funny, the short answer is he installed a used 60gb drive and i walked him through a windows install.
On Saturday he got in from work kind of late. Around 6ish. He was having a bad day because he hates his job (2 years, no raise, penny ante tactics) and his sidekick is a moron. To top it off, he broke his glasses (he has crossed eyes without them) early in the morning.
So when he gets home, wife tells him his food is in the fridge. He then gets a call from his friend who was installing a HD. The HD they tried to install would not work, the old one would not work anymore. When he hung up the cell phone, it malfunctioned. It has been a paperweight ever since.
It pissed him off pretty bad, and he told his wife to email me that he was selling it. So i asked how much (it is a beast of a machine) in a reply. Never heard back from her. But what had happened was he went and served his supper that she put in the fridge, and when he sat down he spilled it everywhere. Got all mad and when he got up to clean the mess, his glasses fell off and he stepped on them. The only other pair he had.
LOL, yeah, this is bad isn't it? Well, lets go on shall we?
He cleaned up the mess, and while determining if the glasses were salvagable (at least temporarily) he accidentally spilled his drink (a Super Big Gulp of iced tea) on his bed. At this point he lost it and just stormed out of his apartment.
When he returned after thirty minutes, his wife said he looked half crazed. He made a bee line to a cabinet, opened it up, grabbed an almost full bottle of jack and started gulping it. She said he had knocked out about 1/3 of it before she could stop him. Within moments he was sloshed, and calmer.
HIs night got better after that, but while he was gone he went to buy beer. After purchasing it and going to the car, he accidentally dropped it and broke every bottle. He had enough and drowned himself in a bottle of jack.
Hilarious story, if you ask me. The next day they got an old 60 gb to mount and it is running well....just without much storage space for him.
