Computer Down and Out

Although the computer came up one more time as I wrote last night, and while I got as much of my settings off of it as I could, it was the last straw. The next reboot wouldn't boot, and my attempts at fixing it totally hosed it. It won't even boot into the recovery partition now. It's utterly hosed, and thanks to the encryption software, it's effectively bricked as a hard drive. We'll have to reimage it and start over next week. I hope I can manage with my personal machine for the next few days and that I haven't managed to lose anything irreplaceable.

Hm, I don't know. I know the D600, if you put more than 137 GB on the boot partition, will not boot. (You have have a larger partition there; you just can't store more than 137 GB on it.) I don't know about the later D6xx series, and assumed that the D630 had the same fault.

No, I'm pretty sure that "feature" was fixed from the D610 on. (The D610 is still PATA, the D620 and D630 are SATA.)
