Laptop Cannot Boot
Al:
That's what I thought. I don't want to get the new one cause the new ones don't have a CD drive and some ports I think. :/
Mojo:
it's 2k15 do you need a disk drive?
btraill:
What Mojo said, you don't 'need' one! My new laptop doesn't have one... Nowadays everything (well, mostly) has a installer provided somewhere online.
Al:
I guess I could get a pluggable drive if I really needed one. I know how it's moving on and they say we can go without the disk drive without internet.
Not bigger than the issue of not being able to start my computer though lol. I might bring it to the Genius Bar today. Have friends in IT but they're busy.
Al:
So I finally got it to an independent shop that works with my school. It costs $250 so far to replace it with a SSD. And it'll cost more if they need to go further to retrieve my data. Is this reasonable?
