Ugh
XP REALLY took a crap on me. I tried to repair my install, but it only wiped out my MBR so it wouldn’t boot into Linux. No problem, that was easy enough to fix. But once that was fixed, I found the entire FAT for my Windows partition was corrupted. My data was GONE. I had to do a fresh install, reformatting my windows partition. I lost everything.
On the bright side, I now have a completely clean install of XP, instead of an upgrade from 98 to ME to XP.
And Thomas had the latest Nvidia drivers sitting on his machine, so I didn’t have to download that 13mb file over 56k again. He also had Opera 6 and Netscape Communicator 4.79.
Too bad Allied Assault won’t run on my machine though. It keeps bombing out about 1/4 of the way through loading the first mission. I’ll have to see what I can find about that at work tomorrow.
On the darker side of things, Friend and Lover are having drama again. I hope they work it out soon. I don’t like watching Friend stressing so much.
