Computer Work
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the go-to guy for everyone I know when it comes to computer problems. Mom’s six year old computer began having problems at least a year ago. Strange file corruptions, intermittent restarts, loss of data, extremely slow network performance, etc… During boot up, there were warnings that the primary hard disk was failing and should be replaced ASAP. I booted from CD and backed up as much as I could at that time, and then gracefully powered down until I could get some time to recover the data that did not copy over while booting from CD.
I spent about two hours with the computer, but was unable to recover any additional information than before. In fact, the computer is now in worse shape than before and will not even power on anymore.
I tried my tools in the 22LR, 380ACP and 9mm variety but no luck.
