Who would believe it!!!! Christmas Eve and I get hit by various Trojan Viruses which leaves my PC totally inoperable.
Unable to boot my system as my Master Boot Record had been scrubbed.
 
I was left with no other option than re-installing Windows XP.
 
The Installation process didn’t resolve the MBR issue. Not yet sure of the issues behind that yet.
 
I have found a temporary fix by piggy back loading my system off of a floppy disc. I knew that portable USB floppy drive would come in handy one day.
 
Attempted to install the SP2 maintenance software but get an insufficient space error and the installation is aborted. I have 23GB spare so don’t understand this.
 
Fortunately my majority of my personal data was backed up to my portable hard drive, so was able to restore that ok and I have only lost about 10 days of emails.
 
I hope to have my system back and running within 7 days and be able to put all this hastle behind me.
All part of life’s rich tapestry I guess….Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
I will then be able to resume my training and business development once more.
 
Time now to go and see what has been happening in the world!!
 
Best wishes for 2009 when it comes.
 
Best Regards
