The Most Hated Task

I’m on Lori’s computer right now because the hard drive on my computer is being formatted for a fresh install of Windows XP. It’s been giving me some trouble lately and I think the problem is related to the video driver, but I’m not sure. There’s a lot of junk on my system, too, so I figured it was time for a good house cleaning.

Having a nice, fresh install is always nice, but it’s usually a little nerve wracking wondering whether or not I backed up everything that I need. Too late now, if I did forget something.

I have a second hard drive in my system that I’m going to use for Linux after I get the XP install done on the primary hard drive. I’d love to switch over to 100% Linux, but there are some Windows applications that I rely on that won’t run under Linux’s WINE application, so I’m sort of stuck until I can wean myself off those applications.

*sigh* Hard drive is 67% formatted…
