Capt. Obvious · 06-25-2008, 12:12 PM

speakin from my secondary computer (named littlebuddy - dell dimension 2300) while the main (Sagitta - custom) tries to fix itself

well folks ive killed vista... and it wasnt a error it was stupidity

i wanted my old copy of XP on the machine again to start creating maps for COD4 and i was setting up the secondary partion and i guess i sent it to the wrong drive and wiped all my data.

dam it...

the good news is winxp pro installed on the machine in about 3 seconds and booted when i blinked and now i have the ability to write COD4 maps

bad news is ill be down for a while getting backups reloaded and figuring out how i made the mistake so when i attempt to reinstall vista i dont do the same thing (this time ill write down the drive letters

)

Frick....

-----------update ------------
got network connects online! maybe i will be on TRM today!

If you have one of those "recovery" devices, you could try cloning your hard drive and recovering partial files and such.
