Getting a cold is not always a bad thing. First day, ok, mostly in bed with a terrible fever and pain in every single joint. But the next day I could mange with the help of some ibuprofen.Anyway, I finally got the time to fix my computer. Started up one of the PE systems, that can be found round the net. This happened to be BartPE, loaded it with Partition Magic and Symantec Ghost. When it was done I backed up my data and booted of the CD. Started Partition Magic and resized my original partition into two partitions. One for my normal work OS and one to use as a test bed. All was done in just a couple of hours including a ghost of my original partition. So finally the system is in shape to try out some cool stuff. Never again a computer without an extra partition to try new and beta OSes (is that a word?) in.Set it up with WinXP and used the instructions for getting WPF and CPF setup with VS2005, works wonderfully. Now all I have to do is to make this copy a ghost image and I can switch it in and out without using virtual machines. As soon as beta 2 of Vista arrives I know what to do...So, maybe I should catch a cold more often, I almost never have time for this sort of things. Just one problem I found though, I intentionally planned on ghosting to and USB drive but the PE system wasn't able to find my USB drive (a 250GB Maxtor one touch). And I wasn't able to find any solution for this.
