[dba-Tech] Problem After New MoBo Installed

When I replaced mine, the repair install didn't fix it, I had to format and
start again...

A word of advice here, if you have two drives that are the same size and
near enough the same serial number, disconnect the one with all your music
and movie files on before you format the wrong one... You probably all heard
the "argh!" when I realised...

That's what I finally did at 10 last night, a repair :(

I'm now on hour 5 of downloading and installing the updates :( 59 to get to
the point where I could download and install SP2. SP2 installed. Now 60 more
post SP2 and still going. <sheesh> Why couldn't they just make 1 big update
for folks like me.

It hasn't asked me to do that yet. But we're still not done :(

great ride!"
