Rebuild Redux

I’m still rebuilding the laptop.

Wow, what a pain in the keester (ass, for those slang-impared).

A pain for many reasons; the most painful of which is the reason that I have to rebuild this machine.

I was nice enough to load this laptop to a new co-worker (a laptop that was better than the puny P2 machine I had to use at work); I had used it at work, I had loaned it out to another co-worker. All was good.

But, on this occasion, the laptop came back…unable to boot up.

Booted into safe mode, and Outlook was fully corrupted.

Etc.

I lost all my SQL databases (yes, they were backed up).

Etc.

Ouch.

Now the fun of rebuilding…
