Well I am writing this entry from someone elnses computer so the “fix” is not going very well, I think I erased some important info off the hard drive with scrubber software or possibly it could be that I screwed up when I deleted the partitions at the OS re-install (oops). My next move will be to buy a new hard drive and install that, since it will be cheaper than taking it to a repair shop. I wish I could wrap my brain around all of this computer technology but it is like algebra to me (F).
