Ever had computer problems? Let’s say, you can’t connect to the internet. What do you do? Well, besides calling technical support… So? What I usually do is run the command prompt and do a little bit of checking. I type in ipconfig and do some of my magic.

I’ve been posting in different discussions in myLot.com and I came across this guy who kept on posting lots of computer questions. I began answering his posts, but he never acknowledges if he’s been helped or not. He actually continues to post different computer questions, mostly pertaining to a hard drive.

There are lots of issues pertaining to a hard drive, but the tell tale sign when it’s time to replace it, is when you hear that clanking noise. If it can’t be resolved by defragmenting the hard drive, then out in the window it goes. Having this kind of knowledge in computers saves me a lot of money for repairs. I have had different computer problems in the past and I used to call my friend to come to my rescue, but now, I can figure things out on my own.
