I prefer to defend myself from a safe distance.

A pair of 2.5 foot kali sticks is a safe distance. If they touch me and are still conscious by the time I get through with them, then I deserve it.

I believe in preemptive retaliation.



And yes, I know those two words do not go together.

Not for sane people.

I'm trying to sort out a minor Vista crash right now, so I may not be on as much this week. Vista even lags in Safe Mode.

System Restore, and the lag continued. Then suddenly last night, it was gone. Poof. Just like that. XP is going for $90 on eBay.

Don't you have a copy of XP from your last system?

My last computer was also an HP. HP does not send OS disks with their computers. They just put a recovery partition on the HD.

Do you still have your old computer? Hook that hard drive up, and use the disc copy software from Seagate to copy the old partition over.

Thats so simple is brilliant. But would a factory image for my old computer work with the different hardware on this one?

You should have enough drivers/generics to get booted up, plus if you have that partition that has all the stuff on it, the drivers are on there as well.

Well, I was curious so I tried my old HP recovery disks. The factory image does not match my current computer.

With the way my software luck has been going lately, I'm thinking about just waiting a couple weeks and grabbing a new copy of XP Pro on eBay.
