Laptop Crashed - guess what I'm doing this weekend...

Time to rebuild the laptop.  It has been blue-screening whenever it feels like it for the last 2 weeks.  Started right after I installed VS.net 2005 beta, sql express 2005 beta, mappoint 2004... not sure what the problem is but seems that the hardware/driver/bios is having irreconcilable differences with something and wants a divorce.  Well its not getting a divorce or counseling, it is getting repaved!

Todo list:

  1. Look up Tim Sneath's blog where he has his build document for Win XP
  2. Look up my last build document -> (remember RSS bandit file and Favorites this time)
  3. Find password document, if I didn't put in build document
  4. Order external hard-drive for Virtual PC ---> going to install all alpha/beta stuff on virtual pc now
  5. Inform wife that the long weekend just got shorter...

At least its a long weekend...

I picked mine up at Target, and my laptop runs much, much cooler now.
