What do you do when your laptop sounds like a coffee grinder?

I think that my harddrive is on borrowed time.  I gave it CPR after it appeared to 'die' a few days ago but I am under the impression that it is not long for this world.  Please pray that it lives until after Christmas.  It is currently a stroke victim.  It has short term memory loss and stumbles when it tries to wake up in the morning.  Many times during the last week, it has been dazed and confused.

Memorial services will be scheduled if it 'dies' again.  But for now, it remains in the 'intensive care' ward in my dining room.  Please also pray for the doctors / technicians who will be working with it during this time of need.

Sorry for any delay that this might cause in my blogging efforts.  I need to make sure that it is resting before I leave the room.  I would hate for it to die while unattended.

Wishing everyone the best and thank you,
