more harddrive woes

I don't really have the time to screw with this machine right now. My only CD burner is on it, so I can't download a new copy of Debian and burn it off. I don't have a Windows XP CD because… um… the one I um… bought… was… um… accidentally placed in the Microwave. Yeah, that's it. And even if I did… I don't think it would fix anything. I have a few spare machines lying around that I could throw the harddrive in and boot, and, if what I'm thinking about the motherboard is true, and the harddrive hasn't been ruined beyond repair, it'll be just fine once I run a repair.

I hate computer hardware because I don't know enough about it to fix my own problems. Not when they get this deep. And it gets even more annoying when I just flat out don't have time to do it.

I've got the laptop for now. As much as I hate using it, it works fine, although a little on the slow side (PIII 700 with 128MB ram).

Maybe if I have time this weekend I'll try to get my AMD K6-400 booted, if I can get someone to burn me off a Debian CD, since I don't have a working floppy drive at all.
