back up computer: Don't try this at home: reformatting your computer without a backup drive and another computer....

Spent countless hours with remote assistance techs who were trying to find the root cause of problems on my computer. They finally gave up....and echoed the age-old solution: REFORMAT YOUR DRIVE! Big sigh..... Backed up documents... Made sure I have all the CDs, I need to reformat and reinstall... With a heavy heart, I initiated the reformatting... Then reinstalled... WTF? The network card wasn't found. Using another computer, downloaded all the drivers I can find, saved them on an external drive, reinstalled them on my now dead computer. Still no go. Other techies try....error messages. Network card not found, not installed. (6 comments)
