Well, I received the recovery thumb drive from HP. I managed to boot the drive okay. But only got 20% into the recovery before the process came to a halt with a fatal error.

Called HP support. Support guy said would have to ship the laptop to repair center for repair. Estimated cost was going to be about $400. My guess that it’s the hard drive.

I told him I would get back to him on repair. I figured that for not much more than $400 I could get a new laptop that was better, faster, cheaper. (Well, maybe not cheaper).

Looked at Mac’s but would cost at least double what a comparable Windows laptop would cost.

Ships tomorrow. I’ll post pictures when I receive it.

TTFN,

Joe
