Breaking (Broken) News

Those of you who have been acquainted with my computer these last couple of years know that it has been suffereing from a terminal form of hard drive failure. Well, as you might expect, it seems to have finally made its final spin. Last night, the ominous clicking started, so, as usual, I turned it off to save it from further distress. After a resting period, I attempted to reboot. To no avail. The bootable hard drive 0 is not to be found. Future options include trying to figure out if Dell will help, even though I am over seas, or, waiting for my paycheck to come in, and just replacing the poor soul. May it rest in peace.
