I know I’ve been putting off reformatting both my work laptop and my home laptop, but it seems that my home laptop is giving me warnings. Last night, it refused to read my archive DVDs and even plain old CDs. I was looking for a copy of Star Trek Voyager’s last episode. I knew I had one on DVD, it was just under a big stack of other videos. After a few minutes of sorting through the stack that was labeled as TV series (I really should make more specific labels), I found it.
Tried to play it on my home laptop, after it finished burning off some more stuff, but it wouldn’t. Tried a random DVD and still it wouldn’t! Nearly fainted at the idea of replacing my DVD drive. A replacement was not listed in the budget since I’m saving up for a new HDD. Yikes. While I was sorting through options, I restarted my home laptop. Lo and behold, the drive worked again.
Dunno if it was a windows glitch or anything like that, but it at least it worked again. It was scarier than any movie I’ve ever seen.
