I was listening to music in iTunes earlier yesterday afternoon when after about an hour of random play it killed my PC–blue screen of death. That wasn’t the first time it happened so I wasn’t so angry, just a little frustrated. I rebooted the computer and to my dismay I found out that the system file had been corrupted!<\/p>\n
Now, for those who you who aren\u0092t that familiar with Windows, that is not good. Not good at all. It means the operating system won\u0092t even start up because one of it\u0092s critical files has been messed up and it doesn\u0092t know what to do, so it doesn\u0092t do anything.<\/p>\n
\u0085fucking iTunes! 19 hours, a second (temp) XP installation, harassing of friends for floppy disks, punching and kicking my tower and various Linux based hacking utilities later I\u0092m back up and running with my original config with 0% file loss\/application corruption.<\/p>\n
