HD question

[Rick Sivernell]

 list
 
   My laptop system has gone down while I was using it. When I tried to get it to
reboot, it stuck in grub. I used the gentoo live cd to boot from a cdrom and that
was successfull. when I tried to mount the /dev/hda3 to root system I got 5 lines
of errors, seek could not find & etc. I install a 860 meg hd into the system and
dos boots right on up and I can play a dos card game. It sounds as if the hd that
I was using, the original one, has gone bad. I did take it back to the Dell
refurb center where I bought it, after a week they charged me $76 to diagnose
that the mobo was bad. They want $175 or that and a install charge of $50. I
checked around and find the mobo's cost $125 - $130. Guess they see people as
idots whom they can fleece. Not me. Guess I will go look for a new hd for my
laptop.

cheers
