29 December 08 - 02:12Windows XP Goes BOOM!
Windows XP did a fine job crashing just before Christmas. "STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Windows logon process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000135"
Oddly enough, the normal fix for this is to reinstall Windows XP. I know you're shocked. I was.
So I'm going to boot to a Ubuntu CD, get as much data saved as I can and install Ubuntu 8.10 and then create another partician and install Windows XP. I'm never going to be so lazy again as to NOT:
1. create a data partician seperate from my Operating partician(s).
2. Create a dual boot machine with Linux and Windows.
This isn't about being cool. It's about being smart. It I lost valuable time I need to create a report for work (two days) by not having a dual boot system. You see I was in an apartment away from home with my desktop and my work laptop the work laptop of course is locked tighter than a drum and I can't burn CDs etc with it. I had to go home and burn the Ubuntu CD.
Lesson learned. Desk top or Lap top make it dual boot.
