I’ve got some good news. I recovered everything important from the hard drives! Some of my raw footage for reviews were ruined though, so I’ll have to do another film session. But pictures, audio and compiled videos are all safe, sound, and backed up onto other drives and computers. I can still do stuff! Which I’ll need to soon because this downtime has caused me to fall somewhat behind on projects.
Finally up yet again on windows 7. Tomorrow I’ll tear into XP yet again… This time I’m not touching the microsoft administrative tools to format the drives. Mini partition tool will do the trick. I use that anyway for on the fly drive resizing.
Anyway, the next three days I’ll be ordering bread. Time to go back to that nap trick I did last time so I won’t go completely insane.
