5th HP Hard Drive Failure

I have owned an HP TouchSmart computer (sleek looking but it ended there) that has repeatedly had hard drive failures. Today was my 5th --yes 5th--you read that right, and last one!  I averaged a hard drive failure every 12 months.  Thank you, HP!

I managed to get HP to replace them through multiple calls to corporate, thankfully, but the joy was always short-lived.  It ALWAYS went on the crash again. The last replacement was January 9, 2012. Two years later and I am here again for the fifth and last time.

I"m finished!

This time, luckily, I am running two backup drive and hope they captured all the data I have on my hard drive. I just installed the second one two weeks ago!  Whew.

I was having keyboard issues the past few weeks, which I managed to resolve this morning, and then upon a reboot this afternoon, nothing worked.  Windows tried to launch and couldn't. The PC tried to start and said there was a failure to try to do a recovery.  I tried three recoveries and nothing happened.  Then I ran a system check and up came this error.  The dreaded hard drive failure error.

Off to buy a new desktop PC. Any recommendations are most welcome.  I know many people swear by Apple, however, with my clients primarily on windows, I don't think it is a wise move for me.

Bear with me now as it will take some time to get my office up and running again. I will be online on my laptop in the meantime but I have a lot of work to do to get things back to where they were.
