Okay so i took it to BB, of course, HD failure. It has been sent out for a new HD, and should be back in 2-3 weeks. I have my desktop from home temporarily but now the ****in internet isnt working. I have to call the stupid resident net people to come and fix it cause i have no idea whats wrong. It shows a connection, but nothing is received (as in information sent) but yea, one headache after another....
