Does that extend to TV's as well? My TV is currently 11 years old. :lol:
 
I want to send you some money now.
 
Want and will are two different things. :p

Yeah, a buddy of mine suggested a USB HUB Docking Station. I think I'll wait and see if my brother is willing to let me use the casing from his external hard drive first though. Why spend money when you don't have to, right? Do they sell external hard drive cases without the hard drive? That would probably be more useful to me than the Docking Station. I've already got a 4 port USB HUB and an SD/MMC card reader so all I'd really need it for would be for the SATA connection.

This is what I was talking about:

They're handy to have around, but I agree, if you can borrow something, do that.

So what is to become of fanedits when there is (someday) only streaming?

Hopefully I don't live to see the day when physical media is completely wiped out.
 
I was passing by Factory Direct yesterday so I decided to stop in and look around. I saw that they had SATA and IDE hard drive casings. The SATA one was 9.99$ and the IDE one was 6.99$. I didn't know which kind of hard drive I had so I didn't buy either. I popped out the hard drive last night and turns out it's a PATA drive, which the guy at Factory Direct told me today is the same as IDE. The guy asked me some questions and when I told him about the prompt he said that since it was trying to start Windows and that Windows was installed on the hard drive it means that the hard drive is still good, but could be corrupted.

So I bought the IDE casing and tried it out when I got home. It recognized that there was new hardware plugged in. Then it said that it installed software for it work or something like that and that it wouldn't work until I rebooted my computer, which I did. Now it won't even recognize the laptop drive. I went back to Factory Direct and told the guy that it didn't work. He said that I probably just put it in wrong. There's only one way to put it in so I doubt I did anything wrong. I brought the hard drive with me though so he could check it himself and when he put it in it worked for him. He said that he could access my hard drive but not my files because there was a password. I never set a password. Although when you would start the laptop it did ask for one, but since no password was set pressing ENTER let me in. He said that I should Google Windows something or other to get into the Admin functions so that I could change/remove it. Problem is I don't remember what he told me to Google. Anybody have any ideas?

Also, my computer is still not recognizing the drive. I don't know why. It worked on his computer, I saw it, but for some reason it's not working on mine. Any ideas why my computer won't recognize it?

GDISM. what a shitty shitty day.
