Is my hard drive broken? How to check disk health

Simple and sweet:

Download and install HDSentinel Standard
http://www.hdsentinel.com/

When you run the program, it will instantly give you information about your disk(s):

Don't mind the Finnish language!





If you disk health percentage is anything but 100%, there is something wrong with it. Usually this means weak or bad sectors in your hard disk. You can live with these if the system is otherwise fine (instantly backup your precious data though!!) but if there are Windows operating system files on the weak/bad sectors, it will cause system instability.

Unexpected mongo exit code 100. restarting - FIX

I encountered this freak error when trying Meteor for the first time on my Windows 7 system.

Solution?

A. Create your Meteor project in C:/ instead of C:/users/user/documents/meteor or whatever!
This one worked for me. I don't see the logic behind it but I'm just glad it's running now.

B. Erase the /local/db/mongodb.lock file
This had worked for other people.

C. Reset your meteor project
Type mongo reset in terminal at your meteor project folder. This will reset your database!!

What are you doing here?

Hey, what's up.  Seems like you wandered to my blog. Why would you do that? LOL! Moron!

Yeah but seriously, this blog is just kind of a diary where I'm gonna place some knowledge (yeah, right) tips and stuff that I encounter during my work as a PC repair technician as well as an IT student.

So there's that. I hope my blog helps you somehow.
