Well, my computer is back up and running. It still wont die. Or maybe its that I just keep fixing it? The C: drive that held Windows got corrupt. I tried to view the drive with another computer and it said there was a “cyclic redundancy check” error. I dont know what that means exaclty, other than its not good. So, I formatted the drive thinking that maybe it was just code rot. Hopefully its not an actual worn out part of the physical drive. We will se

I then partitioned the drive into 2, and installed Ubuntu linux on one partition and Windows XP on the other. I still see a new computer on the horizon…
