Failed

I can now tell you that the recovery disk was not able to restore the system, although it gave it a good whirl. I have no backups anymore due to reformatting the hard disk with them on (the disk’s existence wasn’t being recognised by the restoration program provided by Windows anyway) and so my Windows installation is now, to use a technical term, buggered.

I suppose there’s nothing left to do but reformat this disk and reinstall Windows. Such joyousness. Unless anyone’s got any better ideas. Answers on a postcard to the usual address, please.

Tell the world about this!

  • Heh – yes, it’s all on my USB flash drive, plus I use Subversion, so it’s all stored on my server as well. And hence on the desktop as well. Oh, and it’s on Dropbox as well. It’s infesting the internet like some subtle virus!
