Couple of days ago I had a tremendous shock of my life. Well folks it is not a matter of life or death  my laptop just crash. Yes and definitely I was in panic mode. I don't know what to do and I don't even know what made it crash. It just turn blank and then all of the sudden in the monitor it says the window microsoft is not functioning something to that effect.

So I discussed some options to my hubby and we agreed first to call the insurance company that the laptop was insured. I found out that the laptop is insured for 2 years and we are still on it. Hubby called the number immediately and talked about it. Well the person whom hubby talked to tried his best to make the laptop worked though but it doesn't. So he told us to figure some options buy this stuff or checked this up I told him all the name is too techy to me. So we ended up the call without any positive result. So we set the day for me and hubby to go to the store where we bought the laptop.

But at night, I could barely sleep I was thinking too much of my laptop. It worries me because I can't just jump in and used my hubbies computer since he has very important things going on in his pc. The guy that we talked  over the phone told us that we have to find the recovery disc. He also added saying that my laptop might have it or it is already installed. Yesterday, I looked at boxes of software cd's and voila I found the recovery paper disc!!! Yes, the guy was right it is already installed in my laptop. I read the instruction on how to recover it and I got it right. The next problem I had then was that how am I going to connect the wireless connection from our pc to my laptop. Fortunately when I wirelessly connected them it only ask one thing "network key" and I got it right in my head since I am the one who made my network key. I hit the keyboard  and  voila again I had it connected wirelessly   that fast huh??!! I had the biggest grin when  hubby checked me out . But my back was aching so much  because I worked my butt out on the floor. I haven't think of moving to the table to worked I was just too engrossed of what I was doing.

When I logged in  I found  out that ALL MY FILES are gone!!! Yup all my music, pictures, scrapbooking, everything!! It was back from the first time I bought the laptop. All my favorite list of websites are gone too as in the history of my laptop that I have used it for almost 2 years where just vanished in thin air But over all I am thankful that I was able to FIX it without shedding $$$$ on it. Because I don't like the thought of that .though.  I am also thankful that I can still retrieve some of my pictures through friendster, photobucket, rock you, slide, flickr although not all where there but it is okay nalang. Nothing could ask for I have  to live what I've got for now.

OMG what a story huh..hehe!!! Thank God Ate kim na u fixed it on your own. Ako last year I did something on our computer and lahat ng files nawala.. .. Si hubby walang na gawa..lol..!!!! Ka asar pa naman kapag na delete lahat ng files noh. Anyway si Darl nag ka problem din yung computer nila eh pero I think soon babalik na ulit yun hehe!!! Ingat Ate kim !!!

oo nga eh, that was my first laptop crash and dont want to go to that situation again. kakatense!!

Kim, that is a scary story to me because I would be sooooooo upset and lost if my laptop crashed, esp because I have so many pictures on my laptop. I need to download them to other places for safety. Pictures are irrplaceable, esp with my kids and all the things we've done. Gosh, we rely so much on the computer nowadays and its really true that technology tends to fail every once in a while. Your post reminds me to backup everything I have. I am glad you had some of your pics in other places and that you could fix (clever you!)without spending a cent. High Five!!

Hi Kay, you better do that as early as possible. We were in sams club the other day and I thought of buying that 8Gb reader, I had a second thought since I remember I dont have nothing to save now :(

Kim, you need to start backing up your files in a separate hard drive... you can buy a USB mini drive to back up your files including your favorites.
