Computers are Fickle Friends

Last night I started up my computer only to find that some error had locked me out of my user profile. Rendering it nearly useless, I spent the remainder of the night backing up and uploading everything I needed to keep. This morning I did a full wipe of my drives and did a fresh install of windows. Twelve hours later I finally had windows, the necessary divers, and most of my needed software re-installed. Then came the time to download the backups, 100 gigs worth of backups, my connection will be tied up for many more hours.


TL;DR – No stream, FML.

    1. Yep, Windows 7. I found a couple of possible fixes, but I decide to do the fresh install anyways. Something never quite worked right after my bios update that fixed the last problem, so this seemed like a good opportunity.
