After much groaning and gnashing of teeth – with a little help from my friends – my work computer is once again booting into WinXP! It could be better . . . . The registry is so toasted that most of the programs will not run – but hey, the data is there ! !
Saturday morning after BSF I went to the geek mall (NOVA) and bought a new 40 gig hard drive. I’ve installed it along with WinXP, Office 2000, & all updates and patches for both. I copied over my Outlook file (pst) and set up the internet and email accounts. I was offline for 4.5 days so when I first got online I downloaded 143 messages. Thankfully I was able to use my personal laptop and stay somewhat caught up with email while we tried to get the desktop revived.
Now I just need to get the programs reinstalled and tweaked so that I can go back to work.
The next week or two should be real fun!
