Golly I am having fun!

I may set my hair on fire to have more fun
. Well maybe not.

I got the new giant CPU cooler installed which only required my drill press and bench grinder to accomplish. I rebooted and the system said it had a failure on a hard drive. Sure enough, it has the click of death, and that drive is DOA. It is a mirrored boot drive so the other drive is supposed to take over and boot. Windows spent a long time and finally said the boot record is corrupt. WFT. I have my data right there that I can see if I put the drive in my other computer as a data drive. So now I will buy two 2 - 2TB drives and rebuild my system . If I have to replace, might as well upgrade.

Of course I built my system with Win 7 pro and was upgraded for free to Win 10. Now the free upgrade is NLA.

So ring around the Rosie and jump through hoops just to get back to where I was. So all day to change a CPU cooler. Sounds about right.
