Yesterday afternoon I was in the process of burning back-up DVDs of my music and photos, and my computer began making some odd "thinking" noises that I didn't like the sound of. It almost sounded like something was loose inside. Then, my computer began freezing up as I transfered data to the DVD disc in order to burn. Then as I was burning a disc the computer froze half way through, but in the end the disc actually finished burning properly even though the computer froze. In my frustration with the freezing problems, I closed my screen, unplugged the computer, and took out my battery--knowing no other way to shut down. I'm sorry dear Powerbook. Then, as I restarted, I was having freezing problems again. And then programs wouldn't load. And then after a couple more restarts, finally everything seemed to load properly except for Mail. Then around 10pm last night it froze up again, so I let it sit all night, hoping it would work itself out, only to find at 7am it was still frozen. So, I (sorry) did the whole no-power-take-out-the-battery thing, and then when I tried to power up this morning at work, it would seem to boot up, but then it would get to my wallpaper image, and the mouse would freeze, and a message would pop up saying: "you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button for several seconds or press restart button." I tried this several times and I get the same message every time I reboot. I'm pretty knowledgeable of my computer, but I'm no computer whiz for sure. But I'm afraid I did my powerbook wrong here. Please tell me I haven't lost everything...
Thanks,
