So I decided to reformat.
Put all my files on a brand spankin' new HDD.
Couldn't find my XP pro disk. No worries, I just downloaded another XP pro disk.
Installed XP pro, first off looked all OK but then graphics drivers won't install. Along with wireless card.
Thought ---- it, install XP home from the downstairs computer's recovery disk - i'll probably just get Vista anyway later on.
So that installed. Everything fine! Yay! But then..
Backup drive won't show up
. After several excessive googling, I found out that it's because XP Home won't support dynamic drives. ----!
So I found a program to export all my files from the dynamic hard drive. But it has no progress bar.
So I figured I'd go watch some TV, brand new series of CSI:NY is on.
But freeview is screwed - nothing is watchable! The arial must have blown down or something.
And to top it off I've been ill all day
