juldeaI believe I walked under a ladder at some point, or broke a mirror.
It is currently 11:30. Londo and I left for Microcenter at 1:30ish today to purchase me a new hard drive and a honest copy of Windows XP. We didn't get home from that trip until much too late due to unfortunate delays there, and the past 8? hours have been spent continuously attempting to install Windows on my new drive. Issue after issue, error after error. I am finally at a point where I am up and running, now, and I am pretty much frazzled beyond caring anymore. I'm getting some anti-virus downloaded and installed and then going to bed.
It turns out I might have a perfectly fine drive and just a bad stick of RAM. Which means I just spent $150 for... well, not for nothing, but it wasn't totally necessary. Feh. I'll find out later.
