Ok, I reinstalled windows. I also dug my eyes out bith rusty spoons to keep me amused.
Now how do I get my apps, installed another partition work now? I guess I gotta import a file into windoze, but I dunno which one or where it hides.
I promise I'll try to be good from now on. :D
I'm not sure of the details you need. I'd just go HERE and not have to worry again.
Ever.
Cheers,

:D :D :D
Hi Outback,
If I understood your post correctly, you have re-installed Windows (into its own partition?), and have your applications in a separate partition. If this is correct, then I'm afraid I have some bad news for you: you'll have to re-install all of the applications again, as they will all generally create a number of entries in the Windows registry http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...cons/icon9.gif - and only a truly dedicated masochist would even attempt to manually recreate these entrieshttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon13.gif
I'd strongly recommend something like "TrueImage" from Acronis, or Norton's "Ghost" - either of which will enable you to make a system image (and if you have a CD- or DVD-writer, can burn this image to a removable disk for relatively easy recovery from a system stuff up. Please note: this is not an "if" situation, but a "when"...
Cheers!
Outback, some days are good & some are BAD!!! :mad: :mad:
You have now entered the realm of BAD days, sorry to say. :o :o
The advice given by Steve is true & correct. Blow the program petition away & reinstall your appz on the clean petition.
That's what you get for being lazy. I was gunna reformat, but tried a clean install hoping it would save time and clean things up a bit.
Oh well, I guess I get to reformat now. :(
Like I said before Outback, you have all of my empathy:o
Nothing worse than having to reinstall from scratch.
cheers

Geez Outback.
What a way to spend your Birthday.
Hard drive reformatted, changed the partition sizes whilst at it. Windoze installed, firewall installed.
Now all I got is the rest of the apps, updates, patches, fixes, and personilsed settings. :(
G'day Outback,
Here's the answer to your problems - it's like a V10 Viper on steroids but even better! :D

I know what my next upgrade is - A Quad 2.5GHz baby, oh yeah! But if you want to play in Windoze ;)
Hi Outback,
If this isn't too late (or maybe worth doing anyway for the next timehttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon11.gif), get a copy of something like PEBuilder (it's freeware) so that you can assemble a CD with the O/S image plus all of the updates "slipstreamed" into one single package.
This saves heaps of time - especially if you haven't got a handy downloaded copy of all of the (very numerous) SPs and other updates.
A similar approach can be taken with the apps - eg MS Office (if that's what you use), but the time saved is less marked.
If you don't feel that you are up to this (it does involve a bit of "propeller head" stuff) you might get your friendly local computer store to rattle one up for you; shouldn't cost more than $30 ~ $40 or so.
Be aware though, that with XP (and one assumes going forwards) that MS only allows a limited number of new installs on the same machine before the licence becomes invalid...
Cheers! - and I also empathise with having to deal with this sort of poo - on your Birthday of all times! Hope that you had a good glass (or sohttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ons/icon10.gif) of decent red to help soften the miseryhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...cons/icon7.gif
Of course, you could always take the bench grinder to the PC....
