I'm back

Heres the info on what happened to me. I installed a game, and after I
restarted my stupid pc kept going from the 'start up' screen to the 'You can
saftely turn off your computer now' screen. Since I still had a ton of
stuff to back up, I decided to hook my 80 gig hard drive to my friends pc.
I found out that there was a virus on there, and I tried to move all the
uninfected files over to his hard drive. The virus then spread to his pc
and both of us were screwed. After formating his drive, I hooked up my 40
gig hard drive to see if it was infected. Thankfully it wasn't
infected. I installed Win98 SE and I've been trying to get my pc back to
normal ever since then. I found out later that both of my hard drives have
bad sectors. My 80 giger had over 1,500,000 bad sectors. Scandisk
fixed only 11,000 sectors a day, so I gave up. My 40 giger has around
500,000 bad sectors, but I needed to use my pc. I gave up trying to fix
them and I have been transfering any old back up cds I have to my pcs.
For the past couple of days I've been re-formating my site to work with
Frontpage again. I downloaded my pages from Tripod and had to fix some
things on every page to make it feel normal. I finished today.
The bad sectors make it so I can't install Win XP, so I'll just have to live
with Win98 SE until I get a new hard drive.
In other news, I have given up Everquest. It just got boring for
me. I will play
Lineage: The
Blood Pledge as soon as I get enough money. I might also play
Dark
Age of Camelot.
My Driver's Ed class ends in about 2 weeks. I still have to do 7 hours
of in-car lessons to get the certificate of completion, though.
A real update won't occur until after my finals. It's not that I need
the time to study, it's just that I have a project for my English class.
Add in that I have to go to Driver's Ed classes, I have no time where I can
write stuff. My Driver's Ed has finals too, and it coincides with my 3rd
and 4th period finals.
As a last note, I'd like to give a shout out to one of my visitors that
actually contacted me. You know who you are. Thanks again for the
compliment about my site. At least I know I got one fan. ^_^
