It was my harddrive. Bastard thing melted on me, well not literally but you get what I mean. I’ve wasted around 1 and a half weeks of work on this. I’ve got a laundry list of projects that have effectively been put on hold while I sorted out this rubbish. I now know a hell of a lot more about my machine than I did a week ago. Hell until a week ago I’d not even opened the damn box to have a peek inside, that’s how completely and utterly uninterested I am in what’s inside the box, as long as it does stuff for me. So clean install, I’m making a list of essential applications I can’t live without.
