After
a day of troubleshooting, reinstalling drivers, trying solutions, and
talking to Deepak from Dell, we gave up. Thirty-six years of computer experience didn't help this time. It is apparently a hardware
failure of some kind. I am shipping it back to Dell for warranty
service this morning.
I had to move all info off the hard drive for security. So, whenever it gets back, I'll have to install everything again from my backups.
So,
no blog today. I've had enough for now. I'm taking a break from
technology. I'll be sewing, cooking, reading a novel or two. Hope
to be back next week.
