i honestly hate computers...

I was so happy to get a nice new shiny PC for my office mid November. I thought I had a good deal from good old Dell, I thought that I could just start it up and load on all my documents, music, photos and keep going as I had been on our laptop...

I was wrong.

It crashed, I had a blue-screen-of-death and so I tried to dump all my docs onto a DVD only for it to crash again, and this time corrupt the config.sys file. If you don't know what that is its basically the file that tells your computer how to start. At least I think it is...

So now I'm back to the overloaded, slow but REALLY reliable HP laptop while I wait for the PC to format so I can reload Windows. I've spent the last two hours copying files one by one in good ol' DOS into a partition on the hard drive with the hope that it will still be there following the format.
Here's hoping... if not I will cry
