Called the builders on Friday to see what the craic was … seems the painters are due to finish today … so we’ll probably be in snagging this week. Have to call them this afternoon to confirm …
In other news – replaced the hard drive in the laptop (Vaio FX401) over the weekend … backed up all the contents (Linux and XP) to the NAS first … and then restored using a knoppix CD …
Linux worked first time, but the windows backup was a lot more trouble .. fixed it eventually by reformatting as FAT32 using Microsoft’s own format (from an XP install / rescue CD) and restored the backup …. everything now seems to be okay !
