Aargh

tatterdemalion, your old PC died at last. It decided it was an AMD550mhz, and C Drive was an NT partition.

When I was in Harvey Norman yesterday I noticed they had a pile of old ex-Gov P4s for sale (Centrelink are actually good for something). That's what I have now: P4 1.8GHz, 512MB Ram. It comes with a 20GB HDD as C:, so I dumped my old drives into the new chassis. XP Home, though. Blagh.

I just hope I can recover E: which was a partition on the same drive as C:. That holds all my music, stories, renders and Bugs.



(Later)
I shall now perform the Recovered Art Happy Dance.

Aaah!

It looks like I can rescue everything!

Total cost of repairs: $250 for the P4.
