A computer upgrade and a Chance update

I did a computer upgrade last week.  Not a major upgrade, as in hardware, but a case & power supply upgrade.  I got a new case, a new dvd burner (I had both of mine die in 1 week), new power supply & a hard drive.  The hard drive wasn’t a planned upgrade, it was a necessary one. 

I got all the necessary stuff for my computer upgrade, minus the hard drive.  I went to my nephew’s because I needed his help for a few things.  We got everything switched over & then it was time to boot up.  Well….!  Nothing happened.  I took it back to the table, removed all my pci stuff i.e. video card, tv tuner card, modem, ram.  All that fun stuff & put everything back in again.  This time something did happen.  A noise & not a good one.  I shut off the pc as quickly as I could & removed the hard drive.  It got connected to another pc to check it out.  Found out that it died.  :(  Not good at all.  I lost everything on there!  At least, I thought I did. 

The next day, I was told to put it into my external hard drive case & connect it to my laptop.  I tried 1 program to see if I could get the partition back, but it didn’t work.  :(  I tried another program to try to get my data.  That worked!  yayyy!!!  Maybe now, I’ll learn to back up my important stuff up everyday.

So, this is what I had gotten for my pc case upgrade & how it looks now.

Now, for an update on Chance.  Chance isn’t feeling very well right now.  We think that she’s starting an infection, due to her auto immune.  Her nails are starting to separate again & her toes are sore.  She doesn’t want to play, she’s not eating much & she’s sleeping more than usual.  We’ll be going to her vets to get her some anti-biotics to make her feel better.  Hopefully, we caught the infection early enough, so that it doesn’t take her a long time to bounce back.  Here are a few newer pics that were taken of her.

Well, that’s about all for now.  Thanks for visiting & I hope you enjoy the pictures.  Have a good weekend.

  1. I'm impressed! I didn't know you spoke Greek. Okay. That's what the computer part of your blog was to me. LOL!

    I'm sorry to hear Chance is spending time in a place that's no fun: Under the Weather. Have a good lay-around-day, sweet puppy and "be be better soon!" Please "fetch" HERE to pass the time, then HERE, to jump-start that appetite. Heal!

  2. Sparkle: sorry about the Greek. I tried to explain things as simple as I could. Chance should start to feel better soon, we just went to her vets to get her some "feel better" pills aka antibiotics. Those cupcakes/chocolates looked really yummy.

  6. Life With Dogs: Chance is starting to feel a bit better now. She's lost 2 nails already & there are more to follow. She's been playing a bit more again & eating a bit more too now. It's been not quite a week since she's been on anti-biotics. 2 more weeks to go.
