Yay! I don't know how it happened.....as it had been working on this scandisk stuff for almost a week now.....but it finally finished the scan today, came up with a regular desktop. After much frustration, I was able to burn a cd of my pics. It's not working worth crap, and I was afraid the entire time it was going to freeze on me....I wasted like 5 cds cuz it kept giving me errors....but I don't care, I have my pics!!!

It would never start...never finish a scandisk...and if you tried to stop the scandisk, it would say something about the hardrive failing.....I don't know...I'm dumb. I knew it was possible to fix it, we have an extra hardrive for it that could have got it running, but I just wanted to get my pics!

As I said before, this is the 3rd time that computer has "died" on me. I think it had a virus before, it was totally messed up. My dad has found a pretty nice computer on ebay that has video editing capabilities. It's at $385 right now.....I'm not sure if I will get it or not, I'm too poor. I was going to save up to get a nicer digital camera, but it looks like that will not be happening now.

What a scare. I hope you find all the pics and info amongst the fragments of your old machine. Maybe Santa can bring you a new computer

Santa is out of money this year. Not that he was ever rich at my house in the first place, lol. My dad has to have surgery (like the 10th time i swear) on his knee, and will be out of work (without pay) for several months. Santa's gonna make me buy my own computer.
