Finally, Windows is installed on hda1. Now I shall drag my lazy butt to bed and worry about installing drivers and the like tomorrow.
In the process of writing the last entry on my Linux box, the mouse decided it was going to piss me off as well. Now I'm back on my messed up Windows box, using (I shudder as I even think about it) Internet Explorer.
This time I have backed up all the pertinent stuff from my profile directory, including email, but I must also back up all my music, software installers, and source packages. This really sucks.
