- Usually when someone gets to the stage you're at, I recomend using what is
- known as a "back up" program to make something called a "backup", once you
- have this basic essential added to your software collection, fixing the
- problem is a piece of cake involving no data loss. -Reformat and restore.
-
- Remember folks - Backup, you know it makes sense. ;-)
