Recovery day
Well. with the news last night, we all got a bit liberated last night. For someone that does fairly good, I did get in to work a bit late and had a bit of a headache. Today was moving day for several people at work. They are doing some cube re-locations, and many folks are moving upstairs. Luckily our group did not need to leave our nice area.
Not much productive work done today, some storage stuff and that’s about it.
At home, I managed to get my windows box back, it involved:
1. getting the box restored from netbackup IDR
2. doing an overlay install of Windows XP
3. Apply service pack and updates
4. rename my accounts “documents and settings” folder
5. re-add my user
6. remove the newly created docs and settings folder, move mine back
7. boot off recovery CD, copy backup registry in place
8. still no werky.
9. replaced the rebuild “system” registry file with the one I had put in place
10. system works, for the most part.
man am I happy.
