learning it hard way…..

September 1, 2006 in General, Win2k, XP, broadband, installation, motherboard, windows

1. Getting a new machine 3 weeks back.
2. Messing up the XP so that it stops self-pinging.
3. Broadband does not work since self-ping is not working.
4. Getting hyper-active and installed W2K.
5. Talking on phone while doing install [Not to Self: Never ever do that again. N.E.V.E.R]
6. Win2K getting installed after 3 tries.
7. Broadband connection successful, working seamlessly.
8. Corrupting XP installation in the process, unable to load XP.
9. Trying to re-install XP, motherboard setting conflict, installation aborted.

…. PRICELESS !!!

    Hmm happens man, and until you get it right, ya gotta keep doing that :-D!!

    Btw, I remember I managed to install Win XP, 32 times since I bought my computer, and I left it. That’s a span of 3 years. :-D!! IOW, a reinstall almost once a month!! Hehehe!

    I remember my XP registration key by heart ;-)!!
