I work a lot on an old Notebook, and today it got laptop hickups. Actually it all started years ago when the harddrive (IBM “deathstar” Deskstar) started giving “Non system disk” error. About a month ago I replaced it. Great. Happy days.

This morning when I arrived to work (2 hours late, due to error in the local traffic) I think it stopped working while I was writing to the disk, resulting in an filsystem error. I managed to fix is with the fsck from terminal, but it took a couple of hours more. Half a day gone and nothing done… but at least the laptop works again.
