I think I should be able to recover everything, but it's such a drag waiting during this long holiday weekend!SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255505963845172695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230848435289771259.post-18224473725689339562010-01-17T06:09:51.848-08:002010-01-17T06:09:51.848-08:00The only problem is that with Dell, my hardware st...The only problem is that with Dell, my hardware still has a warranty on it, but my software warranty has expired. They seem pretty confident that reinstalling windows will solve the problem, but obv. if I do that, I will lose everything in the reinstallation, which I REALLY don't want to do.<br /><br />I know that Ian could probably get the files off my harddrive for me, and that I should be able to reinstall windows with no problems myself, but I'm contemplating paying Dell for one year's worth of software warranty for this reason: for $199, they will give me a year's worth of software support, which means my current issue would be resolved, AND I could call them for help with upgrading the machine a little bit for better graphics and speed with my simmies. Also, for that $199, they will service any dell in the house, and both my parents have Dells that are currently having issues. Sooo, what may end up happening is that they pay a hundred of the cost, I pay a hundred, and we all have software service for a year from now. It seems like that might be a good deal for us since Mom and Dad's computers are also having issues. They would charge me $129 for a one-time service fee (which I would never do given the resource I have in Ian), plus that's thirty bucks more than if I split with my 'rents and get a year's worth of service! Sooo, I'm thinking that's probably the way I'm going to go. I might still get Ian to help me recover the files because I get the feeling it will be quicker and easier to have someone local that I know do it than to be on the phone for 12 hours and having Dell try to explain to me how to do it. I dunno, I've got to think over that one. But I guess I'll be getting an external harddrive now so I can backup there. (The dude on the phone was so nice...he was like...really? Don't even buy it from Dell. You can get it anywhere, 320 Gig, for $79.) I'll let you know how things go.<br /><br />Right now, I'm just weeping for being in Sims withdrawal! And I was just getting ready to write the uni update I was so excited about, waaahhhh!SKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255505963845172695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1230848435289771259.post-57667830866342564362010-01-16T18:10:48.642-08:002010-01-16T18:10:48.642-08:00I emailed you an article on how to recover your fi...I emailed you an article on how to recover your files... you shouldn't pay Dell any money -- they should be able to walk you through it for free (considering they overcharge for computers IMO)! Also, when you buy a new computer, whoever you buy it from can probably xfer your old files from you hard drive onto your new computer, I know Apple will do this for FREE! I'm assuming Staples or Best Buy will too if you decide to buy from them. Anyway, Good Luck ::happy thoughts!::Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385262695954588401noreply@blogger.com
