To Celebrate the Death of my HDD

Can't grant it a quick death; would be too merciful

Was saving my first train for my birthday, but any excuse for a party is a good one no?

I don't remember, but I think it's about 3 years old. Been getting I/O access errors and event 129, In the past this had to do with power settings, and after I fixed that haven't been getting it for a while.

Recently an old game forced several restarts, and I started getting freezes from this again when I play certain videos and stuff. Did a harddisk test. Failed both generic tests while passing the others. Did a chkdsk and saw that it found bad sectors on that specific file and many others. The check on stage 5 took about 3 days and was still on 4%, and I got frustrated and restarted. (couldn't wait 30+ days for that to finish since I already suspected the computer was dying)

Me poor :(

Shit.... Good luck dude. I had another internal drive die one me 3ish years ago, and I am still using it as an external drive. Except some problems haven't had any catastrophic failures as of yet.

Still in obligatory mourning period, so haven't read the will. But between you and me, I hope it bequeathed all 1TB to me and not to some charity or someone else. Also, I have a new stronger and exotic one ready to take it's place; waiting on her getting here and paperwork. So I think I'll be too busy with the new one for a eulogy. Living gotta move on right?

Will potatoes suffice as refreshment?
