Hello little deerlings.

Um, I'm just here, on my laptop to let you know that... Uh. I have a problem with my main computer. When I try to turn it on, it just shows a black screen with a text "Invalid partition table_". And because I am not a computer expert. I have no idea what to do. 

SO! This can be bad. I don't know how big of a deal this is but it will obviously affect most of my drawings because I have all the stuff on my main computer! Thank goodness I have a pen tablet and photoshop on this too but oh dear.... I REALLY hope I can save my main computer. 

So, just a heads up that I might be in a trouble... Stay tuned for updates.

Update
And now my computer starts like there was no problem! I was going to try this one thing I got a link to and when I restarted my computer, suddenly, it works again! 

I swear... Why do all my computer problems fix this way? 
Anyway, it works now but there is no guarantee it won't happen again. I'll copy all my important files to this laptop, just in case. Thanks for all who offered some help.

Computers are weird like that. Last night, my laptop screen went black after I had closed it to go to dinner. Not even the status lights were working correctly (Example, the light that said the laptop was charging stayed on even after I unplugged it). 

The power button wouldn't even work, so I had thought I had just lost my very pricey ASUS. Until I thought of taking the battery out. Now, I had never done that to my laptop before,  so I was afraid that would just make it worse...

Turns out, that was just what it needed.  I removed the battery, popped it back in, then the thing restarted like nothing happened!
