So Techies called with the following news.

Ram, good
2nd Hard drive (which is where I keep my stuff), good
Primary HD that windows is instaled on..... Dead. :(

so it's going to cost me about $135 for that and they give me a Windows instelation disk or I pay them $270 and they do it for me....

and I'm almost broke for another week.

Man my luck sucks, huh?
