Aargh!
Blue screen of death! Bugger! The last two times that's happened there's been no hot drinks anywhere near my laptop, so that theory's out of the picture. Currently on the wee laptop to pout about it. Can't even get damn safe mode to boot up at the moment. This is v v v frustrating. I don't want to buy a new laptop, damnit. I'm not ready to try to make all of my software work on Vista. Yes, I'm sure a new laptop would be all shiny and wouldn't give me blue screens of death (are they a new pretty colour in Vista?) but I'm NOT READY!
Pooh.
Boot, will you! Boot boot boot boot boot boot boot boot. Just get on with it so I can stop being pissed off and go to bed.
[Ten minutes later...]
Hmm. I booted in safe mode with command prompt, and set it to run chkdsk /f on next reboot. Rebooted. It's booted into XP with no problems other than being fairly slow to boot. Hmmm and triple hmmm. Am running backup now.
Also? Being pissed off with the computer without being able to have tea? Bad. Must go out first thing tomorrow and buy milk.
