Now Using My Own HDD!

The solution to my PC problem only caused me 75pesos!! Yup, I bought a SATA cable yesterday.

So when evening came, I connected the SATA cable to my motherboard including my 250GB. I booted my PC using my husband’s laptop HDD then immediately transferred my files to my hubby’s HDD. After transferring, I removed my husband’s HDD then made my 250GB as the primary HDD and partitioned it. Then I installed Windows XP as my OS twice because the PC hanged. After installing OS, I connected my hubby’s HDD into my computer using a USB connected. Then I transferred all my files to my own HDD. All of this took me until seven in the morning including re-installation of some programs, browser plugins and more!

After a reformat, it went well for few minutes. I shut it down so that I can attach my other (backup) hard drive back. Unfortunately, it didn’t turned on again. At first, I thought my monitor was damaged but when my husband checked, it was doing fine. Now guess how a blogger by profession felt when all memories and important files were lost! Not only that, how tiring it is to download and reinstall programs again!
