Holy no drive spinnin

[Jim Beam]

So about a week ago my main HD just stopped spinnin. So being as my back-up drive is full of stuff I don't wanna lose I wait. Today I thought hmm lemme fire it up once more just to see what happens and bam it fires right up. Weird. A week with no computer is no fun at all.

hmmm, maybe it overheated which caused it to shut down or something. i dunno

you might wanna buy another HDD and back up what ever is in the main one just in case it doesn't wanna spin again.

yea already backed up. The rest of the parts for my new computer will be here on Tuesday so I just gotta hold this one together for a couple of days or so.
