Re-installing
Posted on October 23, 2002 @ 16:13 in General
Well, I'm about to re-install my computer. The unzip program that is tied in with the explorer through right-click context menus now manages to crash the explorer, on top of the swapfile problems reported earlier. Bah. Burn one last backup cd, disconnect the second harddrive that now holds all data, insert Win2k disc, reboot, repartition (spare partition for dualboot with Linux) and reformat, then re-install. Then swear some because I realize I forgot to backup something after all. If you never see me online again, you know what happened...
Update 23:20: well, could have been worse I guess. The re-installing isn't so bad, it's just that you have to reboot every time, even for the mouse drivers. I haven't thought of anything that I didn't back up *knock on wood* and the essentials, namely e-mail and browsers are functional. Tomorrow's another day for Office and other handy tools.

hey, be glad everything is working for you. i sent off my damn laptop to toshiba and it is gone for 2 weeks.
and it is in a pretty pathetic state if i have to sent it off. (tried recovery cd, reinstalling XP, even ME, linux in graphical mode and finally linux in text mode) ... gah.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
