Hi All,
Just a quick post to let you know that I am fighting my way back from major PC problems. Just after I posted to the NG last time I began to have a series of weird errors and needed to restore my system several times. Then I couldn't get the darn thing to boot up without putting the Windows Startup Disk in the floppy drive. I tried every trick I knew to save having to reformat but no luck :( I decide that there was nothing else for it but to do a clean install....BUT......then I couldn't get the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM to work...so I couldn't install the operating system. We went at the weekend and bought a new CD-writer and I put it in on Monday. Then I started to have problems with the Hard-Drive....Argggh!!! Couldn't make up my mind whether to buy a new HDD or wait and go search for a new system as this one is getting on a bit....LOL Anyway, I bit the bullet today and bought a new drive and installed it and I am now up and running again...fingers crossed.....no more gliches.
I have quickly scanned the NG and will take a little time to catch up before jumping in. I hope that Hurricane Katrina doesn't affect too many folks and I see that Sabrina, Judy (and her Mum) are having health issues. I am sending positive thoughts their way and hope they are all on the mend soon. I hope that you and yours are all safe and well!!
Take care, Marilyn
