Restoring life to the PC

Acer tech arrived this afternoon to replace the hard disk in the family PC. Metallic grinding noises from the computer followed by it turning itself off prompted the call to the service tech hotline. By some miracle we’d just backed everything up a few days before so I’m now in the process of restoring everything over the next few days. Still can’t believe MS took the backup program out of Windows XP Home leaving me to do it manually.

When the PC’s up and going I’ll backup the iBook to it before its OS upgrade. It’s doing strange things too and a clean install onto its disk will help it make it to the end of the thesis (hopefully).

If you haven’t backed up your PC for a while might be time do it again.
