Sister's PC


 
| Comments (0)

I put the new DVD and HDD in my sister's PC last night. After spending an age formatting the drive into 2 partitions I copied over her old Games partition and then deleted it and expanded the Windows partition to take up the newly freed space.

After rebooting I decided to install some proper defragmentation software but kept up coming across a Windows Installer error. Trying other packages I kept on coming up with the same error. I eventually decided to do a full reinstall with a slipstreamed version of XP only for Windows to hang 3 times in a row whilst trying to install the sound drivers. I finally went back to a Vanilla copy of XP and it installed fine. I then reinstalled AV, Firewall, CD/DVD and a variety of other software packages before calling it a night at about 5am.

I've now got a few other bits and pieces to install and then make a start on installing her games.
