It’s been another busy day, with success wiping and upgrading another friend’s computer. This time it was an upgrade from Windows ME to Windows XP. Despite the initial formatting, where I had a few problems, XP is now installed, followed by the XP SP2, and now all the security and Office applications. This is how it should have gone last night. Same job but hardly any problems.
I managed to save all the files from the failed hard drive this morning after I booted in Safe Mode. Nikki was especially pleased I saved all the photos. She’ll buy a new hard drive in Wagga tomorrow ($85 was the cheapest new one we could find), and I’ll be able to install everything tomorrow p.m. or on Sunday.
I’ve had another phone call today about fixing a faulty hard drive. Just what I don’t need, but hey, they wouldn’t be ringing me if they could do it themselves. I’m not sure this job will pay though, it could be a love-job.
Alex was home from school again today, and the high school rang just after lunch for me to come and pick up Carly. She had earaches, so I guess the antibiotics haven’t fully kicked in yet. I wouldn’t let them have anyone sleep over tonight with all the germs in this house, so I hired Meet the Fokkers for them to watch. Alex and I saw it at the movies, but Carly is watching it for the first time.
