Joe's Basement -Computer Sales & Service


Welcome to Joe's Basement!

This is my personal blog of my home-based Computer Sales & Service business. My shop is on the far NW side of Chicago near O'hare Airport. I service all makes and models of PC's, workstations, servers and related peripherals running under Microsoft Windows. I also repair and rebuild used computers for resale.

Here, I am working on Bill's HP Pavilion laptop. His hard drive failed so I advised him to buy a new 2.5" laptop hard drive from Micro Center and drop off the laptop at my shop. I backed up all his ducuments, songs and personal files off his old failing hard drive to my usb jump drive.
I installed his new 80GB hard drive, reloaded Windows XP, Office 2003, Adobe Acrobat and a few other app's and moved all his backed up data back to this new hard drive. It's running good as new now!
