I decided to upgrade the Linux (dual boot) to simplyMEPHIS 8.5 and then a reformat/reinstall of the Windows too. And ended up having problems for 2 days. The Linux refused to boot and the Win motherboard drivers were lost.
Finally managed to get them going – Linux by down to earth ‘troubleshoot with command console’ technique (which never fails) and Win drivers by hunting out the Intel CD – at first the Intel CD refused to copy but by that very fantastic tool ‘Teracopy’ managed to copy them & get going.
Since I also lost all my starred items from FeedDemon for blogging on interesting subjects (about 70 of them), I am hampered. So I think it is time (this week) to ‘Gloat’.
The 18 grams of dust is what I recovered from my PC when I vacuumed the PC as part of cleaning.
Oooh!
p.s.: I lost the smiley support too! :-)
