Hasta La Vista
Overnight my main hard drive on my home PC decided to bite the dust. I set it to do a routine defrag last night and when I returned to it this morning and was confronted with the Blue Screen of Death (aka BSOD). So it seems there is some major problem with my hard drive. I can get Windows to run in “Safe Mode” but when I reboot into normal mode it keeps going to the BSOD and BIOS is warning me of imminent hard drive failure.
Not to be deterred, after my annual round of golf this morning with my good friend Matthew (who returns to his home in London today – hope to visit you later in the year…) I decided to make the best of the situation. So on my way to work this afternoon I called in at a local computer store and picked up a new 320 Gig hard drive and a copy of Windows Vista. This weekend’s job will be to get the PC back up and running again with the new OS. I’ll let you know how it goes.
In the meantime, speaking of BSOD, take a look at this clip of Bill Gates at the Launch of Windows 98….
