I NEED TO VENT

[Wisdom Chyck]

So my computer is being a colossal bag of dicks. AGAIN. >:C
Before it was like "I DON'T WANNA BOOT UP WINDOWS"
Now it's like "UNMOUNTABLE HARD DRIVE LOLOL"
I just want to ******** SCREAM!!!!!!!
(I'm using my phone to type this fyi which also kinda sucks)

I can't afford a new computer right now dammit!
And I need it for work so it better shape up soon or I'm ********>

Sounds like either a cable is faulty/loose, or your hard drive is going bad.

Double check your connections to your HDD, and replace the SATA cable if you can. If that doesn't fix it, you need a new hard drive.

It's the hard drive. No doubt in my mind, it is most certainly the hard drive.
It's... dying a slow and horrible death...
I'm using lubuntu on an SD card right now and it's doing a badblock check and.....
woof. Is bad. Is real bad.
I'm getting long consecutive chunks of bad blocks showing up on the list.

Honestly, getting a new hard drive isn't that big a deal.
At least it isn't an issue with the motherboard or something, otherwise I'd be rightly ******** concern is getting my files 'cuz dammit I don't want to lose those!
Given the state of my drive though, I don't think I'll be able to get them back... :'C

Try going through a company like Geeksquad. They have the equipment to pull data off drives, even if sections are physically damaged.
