No joy in mudville today

The video rental computer for the store crashed and burned a few days ago. We are reverting back to the old paper method (good to have a backup in place) but it is cumbersome to say the least. I got a new machine and took the old one home this morning only to find the old hard drive in perfect condition. It is just missing the entire boot sector -- BOOT.INI, NTLDR and NTDetect.com. Bunch of other stuff there just fine -- I'll reinstall XP and take it from there. The machine is purposefully not connected to the internet so the only real option is that someone deleted the files. Odd to have such a selective little crash... Posted by DaveH at January 12, 2013 4:17 PM
