Trashed my computer

In case anyone was wondering why my blog has been very quiet these last few days, it’s because I trashed my XP installation. I was playing around with a Vista Transformation Pack, a collection of hacks to skin your Windows XP to look like Vista.

I didn’t wait long enough after installing for some WFP dialogs to come up and rebooted. All the boot files were wiped out by this :(

Have spent the last 2 days painfully rebuilding my PC – though that did give me the chance to strip out of some of the stuff I don’t need anymore.

Oh, and while I have spoken about SVS Altiris in my blog before, I can tell you that it’s not that useful. More details later. Daily links should resume from tomorrow.

PS: I am currently travelling (see where I am below :) ) and am a bit rushed. Will update this post again later with links to the Vista Transformation Pack, my earlier post on SVS etc.

PPS: Post updated for links promised above.
