We purchased a
Compaq Presario B1200 series notebook (specific model was B1293TU) for my wife
in the middle of 2008. We finally bought a replacement laptop in December of
2011 and gave this old one to our daughter. On New Year's Eve of 2012, after
more than 4 years of heavy use, its hard drive finally failed.
We have a PC we use to store
almost all our family's files, our main desktop PC which I simply named
Storage. The last time this was in use was April 10, 2012. That was the day I
came to the conclusion that the hard disk of our Storage PC was
failing.
