Damn External Hard Drive.

So one of my goals for this year was to get my computer backed up. When I was in town last weekend I bought an external hard drive so I could get this done this week and say good riddance to one goal! Well I was able to install it and drag and drop files on to it. It was a breeze. Then the hard drive wanted me to turn off my computer so it could finish installing. No problem. I turned off my computer and turned it back on. Then when I turned off my computer it said the hardware did not install properly. sigh. The hard drive displays for my C drive but not for my external hard drive (F drive). I can't get it boot up. Now normally I would just run over to Best Buy and return it. The nearest Best Buy is oh 30/45 minutes away! Yeah another reminder that I live in a small town. And I'm having serious issues about returning something that has personal files and pictures on it. Uh. yeah. So my Friday night is all planned out. I'm going to be driving into the city just so I can visit Best Buy... and hopefully I can visit Geek Squad with out cost or just return the damn thing and get a new one... but I will want to make sure it is wiped first.

In other happier news, I was able to uninstall and reinstall Itunes without a mishap. I have the newest,latest and greatest Itunes and it didn't give me problems! Maybe the solution to my computer issues is just staying hopeful and praying while dealing with them? I have heard if you do one thing at a time it helps you be a happier person. I would like to test this out on occasion, as a multitasker sometimes I feel like if I don't get things done I'm not successful but other times it feels that i didn't even get to enjoy the activity I performed. For example I had the TV on tonight and I feel like I really didn't commit to the programs... that I was too focused on Itunes or trying to get the damn hard drive to work.

Instead of going on and on ranting about things that no one cares about I'm going to cuddle up in my bed with a book. See you another night.
