7000in5th -> Capture of Complex Screens (8/31/2005 18:20:01)
|
Maybe this is old news to everyone but just in case...
During the recent crash of my third Maxtor hard drive in the last 4 months, I was confronted with the task of writing down the information one more time from the "blue screen of death". Knowing I faced an arduous session with the Dell Techs, I decided to take digital pictures of all the screens that were needed to analyze the problem. I then printed the pictures on my HP Photosmart 1215 by inserting the Compact Flash card into the printer.
The pix were a great help in dealing with the techs and are a good reference for followup discussions.
Also, because I have so much trouble resetting my email accounts, I have taken pictures of all those screens so I can get back in business when I get the main computer back home.
Hope someone finds this hint of value.
David
PS - I am on my way over to a local computer store to pick up the Dell 8400 with its two new Seagate 300 gig hard drives. Dell offered, under warranty, yet another Maxtor. The answer was NO and a BBB complaint.
