I must add in my facebook interests formatting the hard disk and installing the OS. Not that anybody cares. I have just 10-15 friends, most of them are part of extended family. Nobody writes on my wall, no messages. Anyways.
I have bought my laptop almost a year ago. And so far I might have used system recovery, factory installation, restore to a previous date etc. around 15 times. So much so that, before the help line could explain, I know all the steps and I can give them help I think. In fact yesterday, when I was trying to fix an error, they could just suggest try all the recovery steps again.
It all started with system update. Windows 7 pages told that, to imtprove the security, you should install latest windows update. I tried doing it for the first and only time. But after update, the windows would restart. Again and again and again. So I lost the nice gamewhich would have made me another Steve Jobs or at least Zuckenberg I had developed almost 60%. Only thing which is left is the development version of the game in my mobile. But, I am not the one to cry over few spilled milk. I tried my best to recover the contents, then gave up and decided to recover the windows 7 os. But recovery was not successful unlike previous 15 times and I called help line.
But me, the smart one found the problem was some program called runonce, deleted the program, and could go to windows. But still the hard disk was showing 75GB instead of 450. And I called them again, 5th time during the day, and they could not help. And the recovery cd would be stalled at 77%.
So I switched off and decided to carry the laptop to service center today. Then just out of curiosity, without any hope, I tried installing ubuntu. And voila, here I am with nice looking ubuntu wall paper and typing away with firefox.
So as my parents would say, Aguvadella olleyadaykke. And whatever difficulty you face in life, turn it around and make it into a blog.
