nothing like booting up in the morning to a blue screen… corrupt software hive of my registry. grrr. turns out that the 1.6gb drive i got from my friend has tons of bad blocks. serves me right for not doing a surface scan before, right? my software hive is currently 14MB, my last backup is 5MB. that’s a lot a stuff missing.
