Fried hard drive.

I shouldn't have tried to do a systems restore on it last night. I knew when it crashed during the restore that my data was gone. sigh. I just hope most of it was in the cloud, too. When I turned it on this morning I got a boot error message and I figured it was fried. Took it to Staples and yep, gone. I had them install a better HD because I have had nothing but problems with the old one and I wanted a bigger one anyway, but I didn't want to do it like this! I contacted my instructors and asked for extra time to get my assignments turned it, but that just pushes them into next week, which is finals week. It's going to be interesting, for sure!

Hopefully I can get everything reinstalled tomorrow when I get it back. I get Office 365 for free while I'm in school so at least I don't have to buy Office again. I am still going to get a backup this holiday season, though, I think. I just hate it when something like this happens and I am stuck!
