Computer is still down.
Oct. 16th, 2006 05:10 pmSo - after making roughly 30 gallons of cider on Saturday, on Sunday we went shopping for the "four f's" Freezer, Phone, Floppy Drive. Turns out that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sgoilear has one and will give it to me when we go to pick up the floppy disk. Talked with him and his lovely wife, chatted about the joys (and pain$) of Illuminations this year and headed home to get the computer up and running so I can get work stuff done.
We get home, and I got everything together, managed to install and get the hard drive running with only one phone call tosgoilear (go me) and then we hang up - deciding that if it doesn't work, we're going have to find a new creek and another paddle or two, and if it does I'll post to LJ or send an email. Since we hadn't discussed 50/50 as an option - when XP couldn't find the file on the floppy I had to call him *again*.
Turns out that triming to the essentail drivers makes XP unhappy. One folder away, and it can't find it. Stupid XP.
So sometime (maybe tomorrow night?) I have to run the floppy back thesgoilear so he can put all the extra crap back on the disk(s) and I can go home and try again.
So...we're still on hold.
Ugh.
