yet another problem

General
ok, i have seriously fucked up....yet again....*sighs*...now this thing wont even run explorer anymore. I dont have a drivers disk anymore, nor did I ever have one. I reloaded the OS and its still not working. If only I knew now to do system restore from my state, but its become im possible. Yet it still runs firefox, my games and everything else. I dont get it, what did I do to make this thing fuck up again. This is my 6th or 7th computer fuckup, and it seems that im becoming less computer friendly by the day. Last time, I got good help from people here, but it seems like thats not gonna come into play now. So Im gonna go it alone this time. I have no clue that to do next, although im pretty sure it involves Vista and or a total system flash. All, of my future plans have been sent to pergatory, pending my success or failure. Im pretty sure all of my info is gonna be lost, and Im well prepaired for that. If I cant get this thing to work, or get help from anybody, then I'll have to start from square one, again. leaving this current HD to become a slave and me buying a new 120 gb hard drive and Basic Vista to replace it. And why vista you ask? Because im sick of the old XP crap, and seeing as im not gonna fool with this old hard drive that was rebuilt twice and still acts shitty, so i though whynot just get everything new. New HD, new OS, new everything. I was thinking of a 78 dollar dual core CPU from newegg, but then I'll have to lay off vista till later.....*ahhggg* I have fucking delays and setbacks!! But thats life i guess. Any and all help apreatiated, or not, it doesnt matter, im just about fed up with technology and computers in general.
These are fine, I have one in my system right now, it works pretty swell.
I strongly recommend against vista, however, several of my friends have it, they all say it's super picky about the hardware it takes, and usually decreases performance in games. XP is really a stable OS, honest x3
Na... good luck with all your computer stuff. You seem to be knowledgeable enough that I couldn't give you any real good advice. Hope that Vista works out nicely for you (I too an sick of XP bullshit and wish this laptop had the graphics muscle to do real Vista... my desktop has shown me just how perty it can be D:!)
Try searching along the lines of "System recovery" and "Hard drive diagnosis" and the like. If you could find a program that could diagnose if something is physically wrong with your hard drive that could at least let you know if thats what your dealing with. Couldn't hurt. sounds like it might be a hardware problem though, if it is, then you might have to just spring for a new hard drive and make this one your secondary until it gives out.

I'll give your link a look, and see what I can find. If its something that'll help me out, then I'll download it and try it out. Once again, thanks man.
And yeah, I think I might just go ahead and get the SATA hard drive as a plane B. Its a bit cheaper than IDE *I think* plus It'll come in handy seeing as all my IDE ports are in use, lol.
If you can get on msn, bug me. I will link you to some decent programs. If your installing a new OS Just remember to install some sort of -decent- anti-virus first up. I recommend NOD32. Again isn't free but its crackable ;3
Oh also is your harddrive a Western Digital? Their site has a diagnostic tool you can download to check for harddrive issues. Not sure about the other brands thou..
Damn yo! Stop breaking your hardwarez you silly black bugger!
