Powered Down

My computer broke yesterday.

It took an extremely long time to power down and the next time it powered up it would boot to the Windows XP screen then restart in a continuous loop. Eventually, I booted up from the CD into safe mode and moved all my files to my external hard drive. I tried to reformat my hard drive but it was unable to do so. I suspect a bad hard drive. I bought the computer 2 years ago so I think it is still under warranty. Just more hassles and what I assume will be a long phone conversation with tech support until they finally admit that it is broken.

Until then I'll only be able to post on my plan period.
