I’m Back, for a Bit

A while ago my laptop crashed, the result of a virus. My first repair attempt went like this: Boot Windows XP from the Installation CD. Windows: “Windows is examining your hardware … Press ‘R’ to repair Windows.” Me: “R” Windows: “Insert repair disk into floppy drive.” I don’t have a floppy drive. Good job examining…
