My computer crashed

by: henry

The moment I stepped into the house on Saturday night, my wife signalled me from the kitchen that she got something to tell me. Told me that the 1 year old computer had spoilt. The culprit?, my 9 year old son. Frightened of being scolded by me, he pestered my wife into admitting that either she or my eldest daughter was the one who did it.

Went to the hall, on seeing me, he waved his hand and said "Hi, papa!". It was not his usual self. Normally, he won't give a damn of what's happening around him when watching television. Knowing what's up his sleeve, I asked, "why are you so good today, wishing me Hi?"  His reply, "nothing, you came back, I wished you, that's all". My eldest daughter was giggling all the way. After a nice bath and dinner, I teased him, "I better checked on my e-mail first before reading the newspaper." What happened next? He went to his room immeadiately on hearing that.

My computer just couldn't boot up. It showed the message, "start computer normally...safe mode...safe mode with command..etc. No matter which option I chose and restart, it will come back to this page. I couldn't reformat it and reinstalled Windows. I partitioned it into C and D drive. All important files were saved in D drive.

Now I'm using the old computer. Hopefully I can salvage what's in D drive,  if not, all my animations created with blood and sweat would be gone.

    Sort of sounds like your computer maybe had a virus? Like a cyber STD? Heh.

    What\'s important is to transfer all files to my old computer.

    After which, on advice from friends is to execute a low format. Hopefully it will work.

    Thanks to D-Manz, JakieO and Michele for your concern shown.
