We are back in Lake Havasu now. We came back Sunday after enjoying 5 nights at the Parker Strip. We have no trips planned until after July 4th although this doesn’t mean we won’t do any.
Just before we left for Parker I had a major computer hard drive melt down. The computer locked up and after doing a hard shut down it would not come back up. I did everything I could think of to recover it but to no avail. I installed a second copy of Windows XP and was able to get into the drives and backup all my files to my external hard drive. I tried wiping out the drive and reinstalling Windows but it would not let me finish the install before it failed. Apparently the spot where it initially wants to install Windows is bad because installing a second copy was successful. I spent 2 days loading back in all my programs and configuring the system to my liking. I now have a dual boot system. One works and one locks up. It looks like its time for a new hard drive.
