Rebuilt PC

I now have a fully functional installation of Vista and associated apps. What's more the 'Desktop Sidebar' actually seems like a good idea now I have a wide screen monitor.

It was intended to be a dual boot with my existing XP installation, but an corrupt MBR/FAT put paid to that idea... ! The Ghost image I have of the XP install was of no use either, it seems to have the same incorrect FAT data... :-(

Ah well, at least installing everything wasn't too painful, and the separate data drive principle worked a treat.

One conclusion from the process, I do need to change my PC before too long... a 2.8GHz P4, with 2MB RAM is just a tad too sluggish - when compared to XP running on the same PC. Hmm, better start saving now.
