Last night while playing some Wolfenstein Enemy Terrority with John, my laptop threw the dreaded Blue Screen of Death complaining about a failure of disk.sys, and upon reboot reported “Operating System Not Found”. My laptop is pretty much out of commission until tomorrow when I get get a hold of the Windows XP CD to make use of the recovery utilities. It might be as simple as a problem with the MBR, or something worse.
It’s times like these that I wish I had a more recent backup of the data on that drive! I would probably feel a lot easier if I knew I wouldn’t be losing so much stuff.
