Dale Yu: MBR Not Found

Well, this has been a most interesting week for me.  One day, everything is peachy—then suddenly, my laptop’s hard drive starts to make an awful noise and I get to see my old friend, TBSOD.

I reboot the computer only to be greeted by a new message: “MBR not found”.  It’s been a while since I’ve had a failure on this proportion—especially since my last backup was a little over three months ago—and needless to say, it’s been keeping me busy all week trying to figure out what to do about it.

Anyways, I did have a great column written up for this week (with pictures no less), but it is currently in hard-drive purgatory.  Along with about 60GB of other data of varied importance.

We’ll see how my data-retrieval skills are—and if I get the column back, you’ll likely get to read it next week. In the meantime, I’m off to the store to get either a new HD or a new laptop.
