    Aw, I missed the music discussion! I love music, but I never really had a talent for it. I'm an okay piano player, but my cousin blows me out of the water. He's got perfect pitch, I think it's called, where all he has to do is hear a song once and he can play it back to you.
    I used to play guitar, but my hands never grew big enough to master double barre chords. :redface: I suppose I could've tried a junior guitar, had I known they existed.

    And, lol. I sing and people tell me to please, please, please shut up. I used to be in a choir too. :confused: I dont know what happened.

    Oh, and LOL at the previous post. :D Our wireless has a boring connection name. Just some numbers and letters.

    Okay, I'm not sure what is wrong with my computer. I know I did something wrong, but don't know what. At this point when I turn it on, it tells me that there was a disk read error or something like that and that I need to press control alt detete to restart. I do that and over and over again, it tells me the same thing. It was doing some other stuff for a couple days, and I thought the problem was gone until this morning. Help!

    Sounds like a corrupt hard drive.
    I'd recommend a reformat but if the hard drive is truly corrupt, then you may want to actually replace it.

    How do I reformat and would I lose personal files like word documents if I do that? Most of my writing is on the computer, and I don't have the money to replace the hard drive.

    Yes. A reformat would wipe out everything that's stored on it and revert it back to a fresh Windows installation.

    What you could try doing to get your personal files is start it in safe mode.

    Restart it. Press f8 before Windows starts to launch and use the arrows keys to select safe mode from the menu. You should be able to save anything you'd like to keep onto discs/flash drives/ etc.

    Or you can start it in safe mode with networking and email them to yourself.

    Is this a laptop or a desktop PC?

    Ah, well that makes things slightly more difficult if you're unable to retrieve your stuff in safe mode.

    If that doesn't work, I would recommend moving this conversation to the tech thread. More knowledgable members than I can probably assist with this too.

    Well almost time to go film some movie footage for my class. It’s supposed to be a thirty minute video, and it’s due on Monday. I think we have 10min done at the most. *sigh*

    I also made a video of me playing guitar. It’s on the blog I just posted. Hope there’s someone here that likes that kind of music

    Know any songs from Zelda? ;)

    Thanks Lydia.

    Lava, I don’t. I didn’t play that game a whole lot. I don’t really know a lot of video game music. I’m probably best at playing hard rock type music, but mostly improvisation

    Edit: thanks Jon

    Ooh, yes, I love rocks like that... also when they're all smooth and round because of the waves. :)
