Srsly. Not. Happy. No longer able to get system to boot.
AUGH.
Pros: Writing all safe on Alexa.
Cons: Irritated enough to consider buying a brand new computer and salvaging what I can from this one LATER.
Pros: Needed a new computer anyways.
Cons: AUGH, would lose ALL of my music collection.
Pro: Can salvage part of it indirectly.
Con: Would have to re-sort all 1,910 songs.
Pro: It can be done!
Con: I had 3,000+ songs NOT yet added to the computer.
Con: This is my Adobe Photoshop CS2 computer. I paid $900 for that fucking program and my secondary license is in use by someone else.
Pro: It would save me the hassle of cleaning up my files.
Con: FUCKING AUGH.
Yes, I could very well just bring my desktop into a computer specialist, but I trust NOBODY with my baby. I will be able to fix her eventually. Just not now.
Conclusion: New computer anyway. Can fix and salvage information from this one later. All I need is a new tower. Everything else I own is perfectly functional.
ETA: She loaded. I can begin the process of salvaging data and Adobe! \o/
