Right now, there isn’t much on the machine, but he has a lot of trouble accessing sites and downloading pages that he needs.

If I’m not going to kill the machine, I’ll go ahead and try the restore CD first. If that fails, I’ll do the full reload. I think all his stuff is on servers, anyway.

Hi, all!

We’re in lockdown at the moment. The SWAT team and a group of Seattle’s finest just took down a bank robber right outside my office window.

Good thing I have an emergency stash of peanut butter and jelly! I can’t go out and get a sub like I planned until they clean up all the carnage.

Former IT guy at my office used to do this bitchin’ little trick that would fool XP into repairing itself. I’ve been COMBING the web looking for any shred of info about that, but to no avail.

IF I can find it, there’s some preliminary setup, then you go through the recovery console and Windows gets fooled into doing the rest on its own.

Y’ever heard of that D.C.?
