FDISK
Five hours of my life lost!
I made the decision to finally start wiping out my hard drive today so I did the requisite backups of the necessary stuff. I backed up my DRM liscense files for music that I've purchased from Itunes and the MSN Media store. I also backed up my Napster files, along with all my documents stuff.
I was able to offload all my stuff over to my Snap250 drive so It's not like I'm really sweating the available hard drive space but dammed this is a long process.
I fdisked my primary drive and slapped in a new hard drive I bought over three months ago. I got Windows XP SP2 installed along with my AV of choice AVG and of course MS Spyware Beta.
I'm not waiting on my new drive to finish getting formatted then I'm going to Ghost my system.
After I get it ghosted I've still got to reinstall my PC games and what not but I'm pretty happy that I did a good backup that will be easy to restore and I got it all done in under five hours!
Wew!
I really made up my mind last night when I was trying to Play CS with some friends from work and I could barely play. Can't play CS? It's time to fix your box!
That's all. I'm out!
