Formatting, reinstallation of Windows was a breeze. Got all the hardware and peripherals working with minimal trouble. From start to finish, two and a half to three hours.
Then it was time to reinstall some of the programs. I couldn’t access them on the backup drive. I didn’t save them as data files, they were saved as burned images. Now I have to go back to square one. Turn the backup files back into what my hard drive looked like yesterday. And then, I’ll try saving my files again, only this time, to a DVD disk or something. *sigh* And once that’s done, I’ll start all over! Crap.
Funny thing, I thought I had saved most of what was there as data files. Twice. In different directories. And it pisses me off that apparantly I didn’t.
Right now, I’m trying to burn a restore disk so that I can access the backup files. And I can’t get the damned thing to burn. Grrrrr…..
