My main PC didn't boot up the other day. Blue screen of death with the abo ve message. Tells me to boot from installation media and use recovery tool s. I can't get the PC to boot from the USB stick I created for this.
The PC came with installation files on a second partition, but I can't find a way to boot from that either. Shop in town wants two days and $100 to j ack up my data and install a new system under it. I'm not terribly confide nt they will do a good job of it. I only get to talk the the counter nerd, not the man behind the curtain.
What to do?
As a consolation and because this is as good an excuse as any, I bought a t ablet. Ok for light browsing, but I like a keyboard when typing, even a cr appy netbook keyboard beats a tablet virtual keyboard. There's also no way to mess with the USB stick on the tablet. I didn't dig that hard when buy ing it, but I expect the best most of them do is to have a micro-SD slot. Even that seems very "tetchy". So tiny and very recessed.
