Electronic devices sick with the owner!

I woke up today to a very bad headache that I called in sick at work and then just kept on sleeping. Woke up again at around 11 AM to a very itchy throat. Bad, bad sign -- I'm getting a cold. Since my headache was tolerable, I booted up my laptop and checked all the online sites I visited daily. I was in front of my laptop until 3 PM, when I felt tired and sleepy again. I brought my laptop with me to the bed and played Farm Town in Facebook until I had fallen asleep.

I woke up at 6:30 PM and took out my laptop with me and charged it. When i turned it on, I got the error 'system configuration data write error' message and was asking me to choose F1 to resume or F2 to Start-up Options.

I pressed F2 and nothing happens. I pressed F1 and all it did was emit a beeping sound and then gave me two options again: F2 to start-up or F12 to go to multiboot options i think. But nothing happens when I press the two keys.

I was worried but kept my calm. I tried F8 (sytem recovery of my Toshiba laptop) but nothing happens too. I looked for my old laptop (Toshiba too) recovery disk and tried it but it did not help too. I have tried all the options I could think of, but it was still not booting up.

Sharie then told me that if i will reformat my computer all my files would be lost. OMMMGGGG That got me so panicked because all those pictures, videos, downloaded shows, all my EBOOKS....will all be erased! Huhuhuhu! So I asked Sharie to search about solution in the web.

One site said that it was hardware failure (though I could not think how it could be a hardware failure when my laptop went dead because the battery was used up while i was asleep for more than 3 hours). I should have it fixed. She also read that one option was to let the computer 'rest' for several hours and even overnight, as one of the posters in the site she found said.

I did just that in the meantime, and was hoping, wishing, praying and keeping my fingers crossed that my laptop just needed some rest. Otherwise, i would go crazy if all my files would be deleted!

As i think about it, my electronics are sick too just like their owner. LOL Ever since my cell phone had its suicide attempt, I could not send text messages anymore. And now, my laptop was suffering from overfatigue it seems. LOL

SIGH. i really wish that tomorrow my laptop would already be restored.
