Man oh man. Reformatting a computer should be such a simple thing even if it can be a headache but nooooooooooooooooooooooo my computer feels like being a… well, a you know what!

I burned 9 DVDs full of stuff I needed (ok wanted in the case of the 2 1/2 DVDs worth of music), but my computer does not want to read the majority of them and keeps saying particular items have errors. So I am currently flipping out. This means I have NONE of the websites I have been messing with, none of my graphics which include pictures that can not be replaced of my birthmother who passed away, etc etc. I can live without the websites… those can be made again but I really am freaking out about all of my personal stuff like the images, address book, text files with phone numbers on them and so on.

To top it off this all happened Friday and it took until today to get my computer to reinstall an operating system… won’t even accept XP Pro, had to go back to Home Edition (gag) and just now able to get the backup of my emails to load. Won’t load my contacts but atleast I can get the majority of the important ones from the emails. This means I now have to contact everyone I was suposed to help and let them know what is going on. Yuck.

Anyhow, figured I would post this here on my blog so anyone who comes to the forums looking for me will understand why I have not been around. I still haven’t been able to install any of my IM thingies so have to try and figure out all my user names and passwords. What a pain in the butt.

I am soooooooooo going to double check anything I burn from now on before I touch a dang thing on my computer. lol Oh well, such is life. All of it is replaceable eventually sept the personal pics. I will be upset about that for a very long time to come.
