Memories of a Foreigner

This Tuesday I was going to update XP to XP Media Center Edition because it is a cheap version of Proffesional that I need for thecnical Windows class. When I was going to upgrade, it was going smooth but almost finishing it crashed because it was so-so compatible with my eMachines Pc(I hate when they put another partition for recovery). Windows did not start and it showed me this message:


I tried to boot from the recovery console with both the CD and the partition but it was not working. Then I decided to reinstall XP: MCE and it worked (when installing it said 13 minutes left and it took 3o minutes) but my PC was a mess. My files were scattered and some were deleted (even thouhg, this version booted faster than my completely clean version of XP home edition). I used a recovery files program that worked.


After backing up my data into DVDs I used Ubuntu to wipe out the partitions and then I installed XP: MCE. I lost almost to days of work due to that error. I needed to reinstall everything, from drivers to my IDEs.


I hate you PC but my damn clases use Windows...
