skyringIt was somewhere off Malaysia, about two months back, that my laptop went into cripple mode. I'm pretty sure that it was because I wasn't able to renew my OneCare subscription due to leaving it to the last minute, and that minute coinciding with the period when I had no internet access. Since then, no iTunes, no printing, lots of difficulty in editing and saving files, problems in internet access...
I finally got a backup or two made and hunted down the recovery disks I created when I bought this thing last year. I've spent a lot of the day and evening swapping disks in and out, clicking on "yes I agree" boxes and waiting waiting waiting.
I think I've got everything back except possibly my mail. And some programs I may have to download and install again. Most importantly I've got all the photographs I took over the past year.
Big raspberry to Microsoft, big cheer for Western Digital and their tiny 250 gig external disk.
