The other day I went to use my laptop and when I turned it on, it basically told me that it could not find the operating system. After some diagnostics and attempting system recovery, I figured out that the hard drive was bad. By now, I'm cursing at myself because I haven't backed up my files recently. So, I call HP to find out how much it will be for a new hard drive. They give me a price of $104.50 plus tax and shipping. Holy cow! I could almost buy a new laptop for this price. Not only that, I need a recovery CD to install all of the programs, drivers, etc that came with the computer. The recovery CD is free, but it costs $16.00 to ship it. How can it cost that much to ship one little CD? So anyways, I ordered the CD for $16.00 but I searched online and found a hard drive for $68.00 (with shipping). Now I just have to wait for it to get here and hope that it fixes the problem. Wish me luck!
(I know now that I need to back up my files more frequently!)
