Unfortunately, I have a bigger issue to deal with today. Some days you feel like you are barely in touch with technology & this is one of them. I think my HD is failing on my just out of warranty laptop. It froze this morning in IE & I had to do a hard reset as I could not even get Task Manager to come up. Then it would not boot past the logo screen.

After multiple tries I got a blue screen of death and an ominous message that my hard drive was in "immanent" danger of failure. This was confirmed by a failed diagnostic test on the HD. So I did a file back up but realized if I have to get a new HD I have no media as Win 8 was preinstalled. There is also no longer a visible product key as it is hardwired into the BIOS. The computer manufacturer loaded something called Backup and Recovery that allows you to create a recovery USB. Like most things of this type it has been crippled by the vendor so you will purchase a 'Premium" version. Reviews of this wonder product are not positive so can't wait to dig into that nasty stew!
