Main computer restored and running again

This post has 6 views

For the past couple of days, I have been waiting for the a new barebone system to arrive so I can resurrect my main computer.  A slight change in plan from what I have originally planned.  I spotted a decent ebay auction over the weekend for a barebone Dell XPS 720 system for a few hundred dollars, I ended up going for it because from a compatibility stand point, it’s would be much easier to recover and avoid reinstalling Windows (I might eventually reinstall Windows regardless, but I would like to do it in my own term, not being forced by Windows).  That system arrived today and I began to strip out all the working compontents from the old computer including the graphics card, the cpu and the hard drives.  It didn’t take very long to assemble because it’s nearly tool free and I have all the pieces ready to go.

Luckily, I was able to boot straight into WinXP without having to repair Windows.  The best possible outcome, saved me from the nightmare known as having to reinstall Windows, reinstalling all applications, games and downloading all Windows update again.

Have to recover from a serious error lol, of course it’s serious, the whole barebone has been changed!

Still took me a couple of hours to get everything back to working conditions again but I am nearly back to full strength now.  I still consider myself extremely lucky for not having to go through the agony of reinstalling everything.  Now it’s getting late, will be back updating several massive packages that have been arriving lately.
