I want to thank everyone that helped me with the problems I was having with my computer. It’s good to know that there are still some really kind and helpful people out there. So thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!

Now to what was wrong with my computer…it turns out that I was having problems with not only the hard drive but with the memory as well. And several of you had said that it sounded like I may be dealing with 2 seperate issues and it turns out I was.

The GOOD news is, my hard drive has now been replaced and I have been busy trying to get all the settings back like I want them. As for the memory, I just ordered from dell a memory upgrade and the parts should be in early next week (I hope)! 

 At one point my hard drive completely died and wouldn’t boot up at all and I ended up borrowing a computer until my new hard drive was in. For now I can use the computer but still very limited on what I can do because of the memory situation. I still don’t know exactly what happened with the memory but all of that should be resolved soon. 

I hope to get back to posting more regular here on my blog soon and you can always catch me on twitter http://twitter.com/roxxymetal

Thanks and have a wonderful day!!

Hello everyone!! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve updated my blog and I do apologize for that. I’ve been really limited on the time I’ve been able to spend online because my computer has been acting up lately and I thought I had everything fixed but that turned out  not be the case at all. I restored my entire computer thinking that would fix everything but it didn’t and now I don’t really know what to do. I don’t know much about the technical stuff but maybe some of you do?!

Any Computer Technicians out there?!!!!If there is anyone that knows a lot about computers and the internal workings, I could sure use some help. I don’t know if I’m looking at a small problem that can be easily fixed  or something major that will have to be replaced. I ran a Diagnostics test and this is what it gave me:

Error Code 0F00:136C

Message: IDE device failed: Blank media or no media is present in optical drive.

Does anyone know what this means? I have tried doing a search using this information but I couldn’t make much sense out of it. My computer now seems to have very little memory because if I bring up more than one screen at a time it will start to freeze up and it will say that a script on the page doesn’t work because I am low on memory.This just starting happening the last few weeks and it’s very frustrating because now it’s hard to get anything done when you can only open one screen at a time. Before this started happening I could have numerous screens open at any given time and everything worked fine.

I didn’t know if maybe I need a new drive or if it is something that can just be repaired. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I’ve had to put a lot of things on hold since I’ve been having these problems.

Thank you all so much and I hope to get this problem fixed soon!
