Take It To The Limit

ergh
came home to discover that the hard drive that has the windows installation on it (my dad's computer, i.e. internet access computer) is mostly dead.
I can probably pull it up to save all the important stuffs, but that is, at this point, an iffy proposition.  needless to say, i have spent the last 4 hours getting the other disk partitioned and prepared to take over in the former primary drive's place.
my opinion of western digital drives:
Myself, I wouldn't trust it to the end of the Earth.
Yes, but how far's that?
About 12 minutes I'd think.  Come on, I need a drink!
