Mr Murphy and his law are close acquaintance of mine. Today I had interesting misfortune happened. I have in my game rig bitumen coated roof and I placed a CCF inverte there via self adhessive velcro piece. Today the inverted dropped and made "Tarzan's" by hanging on the cord and knocked in my HDD's sata connector.

This caused my connector dislodge bit and with following results:
Random forzes and hic-ups in game with increasing number. Windows own diagnosed gave several sectors "unable to read" and similar which indicate bad sectors.

After 4 hours of work with diagnose tools and HDD repair tools I've manage to get Win 7 work nicely know and I hope I can make the Win Xp work too. I do hope that data corruption in HDD sectors are not permanent bad sectors but can be repaired cia XP installation or similar.

*sighs* and it was 6 months old WD 640 Black... I perhaps need to buy another HDD just in case and re-install XP and Win 7 and all softwares in my game rig again...

Oh, how joyful... I wonder how Mr Murphy wills urprise me next time.

p.s. I learned how valuable sata cables with locks are....

There's a reason it's called Murphy's law and not Murphy's exception.

He's quite a swine doggy, isn't he?

He is, with very twisted sense of humor I might say
