sgant's Journal: Service pack 2 woes part 2

Now we're on what, day 3...4....on updating my wife's machine to Service Pack 2 on XP now. Well, it got down to now 8 times now of booting off of the Windows CD and running CHKDSK /r to repair the machine.

Now I'm just installing a whole new /windows install from scratch and not even trying to save the old install. I've yet to resort to reformating the entire HD...yet. But I'm so so close. I'm also so so close of dumping MS totally and installing Gentoo...but since there is a ATI 9800 Pro on the machine...and ATI isn't exactly Linux friendly...I'm holding off on it.

So far, the pain in the ass continues....
