Aliens have invaded my laptop!

I dont know of any laptops that can take two hdd's...

I've seen laptops that can take two physical hard drives.

None of them are Celerons though. I'm going with the dual partition theory.

I told you, it's horribly slow. That weird flower and calendar loaded about 5 minutes after startup. Literally.

[KatrynKat]

It's a girl's laptop - what else would you expect?

And a celeron at that.

What was it in the end? Was I right or wrong?

[Anakha56]

I think you will find the drive is dying under excessive strain because of a cluttered desktop ...

Sent from my HTC Desire to annoy hamin...

[KatrynKat]

Corrupted MBR.

[RuadRauFlessa]

Oooh I love those.... easy to fix and it boggles the hell out of 98% of the techs I come across.

Oh and KK... since your stuff on your desktop is so organized you might as well create a folder on the desktop for each of those and move the stuff into them. 99^99^99% more organized

Please enlighten those of us with limited experience? Had a similar problem at some point. Ended up formatting.

Will you discuss fixing the MBR? (almost typed CMBR)

[RuadRauFlessa]

Boot into recovery console with a Windows CD/DVD relevant to the OS that is installed.
Type in FIXMBR and press enter/return
Reboot....
Problem solved

Last time I had to fix an MBR was back in the XP days, and it was a case of booting from the CD, accessing the Recovery Console, then typing "fixmbr" at the prompt. Or something like that.

I've never had to do this under Windows 7 so not too sure of the procedure there. I wouldn't imagine it to be terribly different though.
