This does not bode well. The Wife's system has been REALLLLY slow as of late. She decided she would prefer to start over with a clean wipe. Fortunately, we make certain to set up our systems such that reinstalling / reformatting the System partition does not erase our data, just our OS and proggys.

I verified that her data was in the correct place, and reinstalled the OS. Booted up just fine, started installing chipset drivers (weird, this system is acting a bit sluggish still, even during setup).

Rebooted.

Uh-oh.

One would think I would have some sort of backup solution in place at home considering I work in the Information Technology industry.

Yeah, if I canna recover data, it means lost data, but more importantly, lost pics of our kids.

If I do not update this blog by 10/18/05, please begin search and recovery efforts to find my body!
