Ok, I so wish the hard drive drama for me would just end but.....
SO, UPS threw my package onto the porch of my house and walked away...
I took a look at the package and the box had been crushed as well...However, it was well packaged inside (Good ol' newegg)
When i first installed XP it came up with an error about windows failed to install file cabinets or something like that. So i reformatted the drive once again.
Now i am running a restore utility from my external drive and am attempting to get files back up onto the new drive but, i stopped it halfway when i realized i didn't need half the programs that were being put back in. I couldn't delete them and no error boxes would come up, i ran admin but nothing. So i went back and ran the restore again till it finished the restore and then went to delete the files but they were already gone and i can no longer access the folder or delete the folder the programs were in. Despite the fact i can no longer find any file reference to the restored files the data space is still taken up. Do you guys know whats going on? Is this new drive shot as well? ( so hope not... i hate dealing with returns and such...)
