My computer had an error in the windows operating system. Now I have two copies of windows xp to choose from. The one I am using has the drivers installed. I am really bummed to have lost all my favorites links. I have no idea if I can find them all again. The ones I used daily I can remember, but some of the weekly and monthly ones are lost unless I can follow the same links again. I also lost all my programs, my games, all my favorite websites (to pay bills and look up interesting items). I tried to look for my old user profile but have had no luck yet. I am still trying to download all the updates that were lost. The first set was 68 and the second set was 32. Lots of updates since we got the computer in February 2006. I will have to upload all my pictures again. They are on the computer somewhere but I have no easy way to access them. I also lost all my documents. The password list, the work order list, everything.
And the Qwest backup did not work, it updated as soon as it was reloaded, so I could not recover anything. System restore did not work either as it had no reference point past the time I uploaded the windows os from the disc.
Oh well, it is a good lesson for me to back up my files onto a cd instead of depending on something else.
Hopefully, the wedding pictures will be up soon. I still have to finish all the updates and reload all the programs.
