cornerofmadnessbut once the tv was off and the book cover closed it hit me like a ton of bricks. I was up all night with anxiety attacks and mind racing over the whole how could you not have backed up in 2 months deal.
My computer died. Alphonse is very probably no more. two days ago I was getting messages that said 'your computer is in unprotected mode' but it coincided with a browser update I didn't do so didn't think it was anything more than an arm twisting to use the browser.
Last night it started up with winupd3748.exe wants you to allow it but I had no idea what that was and said no.
It worked for 3 1/2 hours then everything shut down with the messages you have a dozen critical registry errors. it fix about half of them but the rest not so much. They are in no particular order
disk Drive C is unreadable (oh fuck)
hard drive rotation speed decreased by 20%
Hard drive rotational speed exceeds system limits (um these two are contradictory I think)
Damaged hard drive clusters detected
hard drive space less than technical limits
RAM memory speed decreased
hard drive doesn't correspond to system restore.
boot sector of hard drive damaged
So, I'm screwed. I didn't have the last powerpoints i worked on this weekend on my flash. I do not have some of my erotica on my flash.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
enemytosleep please email me back my big bang so i can put THAT on my flash.
I think i'll go vomit some more.

(Or maybe if you're comfortable doing that?) The data is still there despite what the errors say, and you can get it back... it just requires a bunch of effort and finnagaling and a funky USB hookup D: not sure if that's something you'd like to look into, but it's an option if you want to explore it!
