HELP!

anybody knows how to solve a notebook's hard disk problem?
or anybody knows anybody who knows?

my notebook just went berserk out of a sudden ytd night.

when i tried to turn it out, there's only this black screen with the words:
"Hard Disk Boot Sector invalid. Press H or any other key for floppy disk"

No matter how many times I tried pressing H or a million other keys, the same message just kept reappearing.

My god, pls dont tell me my hard disk is gone.

My weeks of hard work are all in it. My next paper is in 2 days' time and i need all the study notes that i've prepared and saved in my notebook.

gosh i cant believe this is happening. Im so gonna die without the notes that i've prepared for so long. HELP!

is there any way i can save all my files in my notebook if the only way to save it is to reformat it?

HELP!!!!!!!!!



i dont wanna die...

cup noodles with caffeine pls.

i need to stay awake. exams are like 4 days away and im still slping like 12 hrs a day, including both day and night. i cant stop falling aslp. wats wrong with me?

isnt it ironic tt i seem to suffer from insomnia on normal days but just cant seem to keep my eyes open when i need to study - badly.

tea doesnt work for me cos i still snore after 10 cups, coffee's out of the question cos i just cant appreciate the bitter aftertaste. maybe cup noodles with do the trick. since i dont mind eating tt everynight. but where can i find noodles with caffeine? i tink im going nuts.

ok i gtg prepare dinner now. gonna mug in the library afterwards. if only the library stays open till 6am or smth (its currently open till 2am but i'll only be there after 9pm due to the inevitable crowd) since im slping after 6am, after a hearty supper - every night.

bout two nights ago, i had homemade bak kut teh at 4am with jon (my bro) and weilun. a night after, we had homemade teochew porridge with all the possible canned food lun can find from his secret stash of sg food.

sometime ago, i made super-nutritious abalone porridge with abalone (duh), dried scallops, red dates, minced carrots and chinese mushrooms and some other herbs. cooked for like 5hrs, yummy.

tonight's menu includes salted veg with duck soup ('xian chai ya tang') which im gonna start preparing right after i post this post up.

and tmr we're gonna have some homemade sharksfin soup (sadly w/o sharksfin) and stir-fry veg with abalone. just right to prepare us for the ardous weeks ahead.

cant believe im still so enthu bout dinner and supper everynight when exams are barely 90hrs away.

but well, hungrygeri can never be satisfied with anything less than a sumptous meal.

oh on a different note, i think mercy-killing should be allowed, despite the difficult position courts and parliament will be in to come up with specific definitions and impose limitations. what do you think?

the sanctity of life doctrine states that every person's life is inviolate. true. but to avoid further pain and suffering for the patient and his/her family when the patient has got zero chance of recovery, and to allow him/her to die in a peaceful and dignified manner are fundamental. then again, it's almost impossible to draw the line. ok wait im drifting.

tata.

just a quick update before i rush back to my essay which is due tmr morning.

gosh its 2 weeks before exams and i have still a f*cking great deal to study! how am i ever going to swallow the millions of cases? its freaking unfair that NUS law students have open-book exams while we overseas law students gotta memorise all these shit. and they just need a second-lower (50-60) honours to be able to enter the practising industry while we gotta struggle for no lower than a second-upper (60 -70) or our certs will be as useful as the roll of toilet paper hanging in my bathroom now.

anyway, rich's mum has been admitted to the hospital a few days back due to sudden fits-like symptoms. apparently one night, she just started shivering out of the blue and her face went green. she looked so fragile and helpless that rich called for an ambulance. and her fever shot up to 40degrees.

while recuperating in hospital, the same symptoms suddenly came back to haunt her. and all the doc could do was to give her 2 panadols cos they were not so sure what caused the sudden attacks yet. but the most probable cause of it should be an urine infection in her body due to her body's inability to expel urine on its own.

this is not the 1st time it has happened but this time, it was worse than before. given her current condition, its not easy at all to endure another 'attack'. her courage is admirable and i can only hope and pray for her wellness.

due to this, my baby hasnt had much rest for the past week. he's been shuffling between work and the hospital. my poor boy. i wish he could get more rest or im afraid he would fall ill again. its been so long since i last saw him. feeling nolstalgic just thinking bout the times we've had. baby, pls take good care of urself k. im sorry i cant be there with you but i always here for you. i love you.

on a slightly more cheery note, i've secured an attachment with Allen & Gledhill this coming August. oh well, give me a little more motivation to do well in law. moreover, rich's lawyer has not been giving them an easy time. all i can do is to wait impatiently for my return so i can accompany my guy to visit the inefficient lawyer and give him a hard time. some of the info that he's been giving my baby is so wrong. damn. i might even persuade rich's family to switch lawyers if he's still not making any progress by then. it's a waste of time and money - the two most impt considerations for my baby's family.

i just cant stand some lawyers. freaking money-driven. then again, which industry is not?

alright back to work. till then.
