Sh!t- local PC comp person needed STAT

edited November -1 in Park Slope
My work computer (a lenovo thinkpad) has been acting a little loopy for months and finally bit it today. This is a very big problem as A) I need it to work and B) apparently the last scheduled backup was completed in MARCH (!!!)

I think the hard-drive is ok as it's booting into recovery fine, but its not recognizing my external harddrive to dump all my new files. I need help STAT. I can't go somewhere to send it out as I need it to work on Monday. Does anyone have experience with any PC people in the slope?! I have the sneaking suspicion a windows reinstall is going to be needed but I'd reallllly like to save my files ahead of time as I've got a ton of stuff on there...


halp :(

    The Microchip Cafe (1st street just below 7th Avenue) may be able to help you.

    I will call them- I'm currently running a semi restore (only OS, not complete hard-drive and files) so we'll see how that goes in about an hour. I am so frustrated....I desperately wanted to be doing FUN stuff today and comp troubleshooting makes me want to cry.

    Thanks for the number :)

    Let me know if you need a name/number. My computer guy is great but I think he is in church for most of the day on Sundays.

    Is this a new "faith-based" approach to computer repair?

    i don't think they exist anymore. i think their old place is a Psychic reading establishment (if you can call that an establishment) now.

    Can't vouch for them, but there is a new place opening up on Prospect and 7th Ave.

    Microchip Cafe does exist - they're on 4th Avenue between 8th & 9th Streets...they were probabably closed on Sunday

    Alright I actually finally managed to fix everything myself (if anyone ever has a problem with Vista feel free to PM me, I feel like I've run across every imaginable problem with it...) I'm glad this thread exists though, next time I might not have the mental tenacity to mess with it for three days.
