I have too many scripts requesting to run in firefox and it is time to reinstall windows. Will let you know when I'm successful. From what I'm told, it should take 15 or so minutes. Can't wait!

After a false start from missing the "press f2" prompt, now it begins.

I hit f2!

How do I get the USB to run, or even the DVD?

OK, time to find my recovery disk because the win7 disc isn't bootable.

Repair disc created.

Win7 repair disc is garbage. How do I get simple command prompt?

Oh fvck, didn't you just forget to backup your most important data?
Datuh. (Jean Luc Picard voice) A as in "antelope" sucks when you should be saying "Data" as it is spelled.

I used to know how to reinstall windows without a bootable windows disc. Now...I'm baffled without dos 6.22.

Someone give me a pointer on how to make a bootable recovery disc in windows xp?

I want to put in the floppy and type "format c:" and not have questions or comments pop up. Yes, I am ready, do it now!

I want to format C:
Is that so difficult? I don't want to input the volume label because I don't know it. Do I really have to format c: from a different computer? Gimme a break! Why is it so difficult to install windows xp without a repair disc now?

I mean install win7 without a bootable win7 disc and no xp repair disc in sight.

oh my goodness. I just started formatting the slow way. at least it'll be ready to install tomorrow.

Done! I made a disc image this time, so I can get back to barebones quickly, if the need arises.
