New Hard Drive
My son bought my a new hard drive for my PC since that one only had 80 gb, yea I know but when it was bought years ago it wasn’t going to be use just for business. Now that things have changed, I need more space so he bought me a 500 GB, which is great.
Once I put the new drive in and booted up my PC and installed my windows xp, things seemed to be going well. I started doing the Windows updates and after the first set of the updates and the reboot, my monitor was totally messed up. So I rebooted again, but it didn’t fix it. I went and got my disk that came with my monitor, no download/install files on it, it just had the manual on it. So I found it on the their website but my computer would not unzip it.
I made sure to add the pc back to “My Network Places”, went to my laptop, downloaded and unzipped the files the put a copy in My Network Places and I got my monitor back.
I also did a back up of my old hard drive but after I did the restore, none of the files seemed to show up even though I said to put them in their original place. Well so I started doing them one folder at a time, thought that would make it easier on the computer and in the report it gave after it was done, I saw that yes they were put in their original place, Windows just decided to take the long way there. When I check the files using the long way, everything was there. By this time I was getting tired but I didn’t go to bed because I wanted to get this done.
But late yesterday after getting all the updates and downloads done I realized that my “Program Files” were not included in the backup even though “C” drive was clicked so today I will reconnect my old hard drive and and check it for anything else I or the back up might have missed, then I wipe it out.
This month I also did 3 adswaps and have 1 more set for the 31st. That is the most I’ve done so far. I think that I need to start working on a new squeeze page so that one doesn’t get used too much.
