I committed 2 of 'em, and now my penance is gonna be high.
First, I didn't make recovery discs when I got my new laptop 1.5 years ago.
Then, I didn't do any hard drive backups.
So guess what?
Yup. The hard drive took a dump. It just goes, "Click, click, click," and my laptop tells me that it's unable to find a bootable device. Well, f*ck.
So I'm thinking I can buy another hard drive and OS at a cost of about $200 and I'll have a fresh new computer without any of that crapware they put on PC's nowadays.
Will this work, or am I looking at a lot of headaches tracking down drivers for the LAN or display or touchpad, etc. What say ye, technowizards?
