Computer Down! Computer Down! Oh Shit!
01 Jan 2006 @22:35I think my computer’s hard drive just got shot. It made this weird noise, then the computer beeped twice, and then the hard drive just locked up.
I think the arm of the hard drive locked against one or more of the platters.
I have most of my data backed up or online, so it’s not the biggest deal in the world, but it’s still going to be a hastle to get fixed and I would like to be able to recover all of my data.

Before I can shut down, a rather retched noise is heard and then the computer goes “beep beep”. Windows freezes and I crap my pants. I turn the computer off and on again, just to be sure. The familiar whirl of the hard drive on startup is not present.My hard drive has crashed. Hard.
