    Hey guys,

    Is the Waterford Computer Repair Centre (out by Genzyme) gone? Even the website is down -> wcrc.ie

    It's a pity because I've always found them to be great, esp. for parking when you're lugging desktops around.

    If they are, can anyone recommend another PC repairer? Mine decided to die this morning :(

    Why not take this opportunity to fix it yourself? The tech forms are very helpful and there a few people in here that know plenty about PC's. Might save you some cash

    I gave fixing it myself an honest go - the PC isn't recognising its hard drive and upon booting asks me to choose a boot disc, even though the hd is right in the BIOS list. So, it's a bit beyond what I can do myself.

    I will check out that place in Tramore, thanks.

    Seanogheg, boy, I'd love to buy a new PC. But I'm a poor student :( Thank goodness I had a dinosaur of a laptop laying around!

    WHat you should do then is when the pc is turing on select the boot device, think its f8 from memory. See if the Hard drive is there. Like it could be the drive is gone and the pc is fine, usually with that type of fault theres not many causes. A way to tell for sure would be to use a disk to boot the computer and test the drive.

    Youtube and google are your friends :D:D
