cpolkso my computer will not boot up, the fuckedy thing.
It was asking me for my windows XP disk.
I fed it the damned thing.
it went into bootup loop. ARGH.
it says that ntfs.exe is either missing or corrupt. So whatinhell do i do now?
I'm thinking I have to format and reinstall. am I right?
but howinhell do I do that if it keeps on looping? do I have to pull the drive, put it in another computer, format it from there, put it back in, and then install?
I'm going to lose writing.
This stinks.
I wish my laptop wasn't broken too. I'd put linux on it, fart around, figure it out, and then wipe Microdorks from my life. Fuck you, windows. Just.... fuck you.
I suppose I could just format this and start from linux and flail around on that system until I figure it out. couldn't I? but the question is how do I format the drive if I can't get to a command prompt? Because I'm sorry to lose the use of Photoshop because that software was expensive but Windows XP was a dismal failure and I hate prolonging a relationship that makes me feel icky inside.
I know I have a bunch of obi-wan kenobis hanging around here. so I'll put my hair into a pair of braided buns and say help me you're my only hope aaaaaaaaaaaaa
when I get home I will download and burn a Linux disk and start from the very beginning, and figure out how to make words and play on the internet and chat on AIM and use Skype and get my webcam going and listen to MP3 - oh wait, is my collection now a bunch of attractive coasters if I make the switch? I mean they're just data disks, is there a problem?
i lost. my writing.
*kicks everything*
