[11:19 am] &$#%S@H$**$%&T

Yeah, well... talk about losing ground. Today I merrily booted my triple boot system into NT and some things weren't kosher. Like services not starting and dll's that the OS seemed not to know where they were (I found them with the file browser). Hmmmm.

I figured since XP was the last one added last night, perhaps some things were messed with. Tried to repair NT and now it won't do nuthin'. Can't even detect the hardware on boot now....Ha Ha. It "suggests" that my disk is damaged or corrupt. Right. And why would that be?

Glad I didn't tell anyone else about my supposed coup.

If I may ask, why are you doing this to yourself?

That's great question. I wish I had a great answer. Let's see...the company that doesn't exist yet doesn't have an office let alone a lab and I am attempting to set up the larger of the systems I have to be used to familiarize myself with the product we are negotiating to acquire.

This seemed like a good idea at the time and now has become a personal quest. The limiting factor (aside from my complete lack of experience in the IT support role) has been $$$. Having gotten so very close to getting what I wanted, I'm going to give it another shot. Well, I did already today and it's been acting very oddly since that last screw up. (Probably user error - I'm certain the CPU is peering at me through the reset button and wondering what the hell I am thinking too :-)
