There was something odd call it an alert about when things went south

in the boot up, the screen long b4 you get to the windows OS, the setup
screen that shows all the things attached, drives, USB's, etc.. It's a
semi color screen on a black background with white lettering, and smoke
color lettering. but the white lettering on the 1st page had a distinct
red hue to it. Now that things are back to norm, the lettering's back to
white and normal.
Most commonly a red tinge to the monitor means that it is failing. But it
can happen because of other things as well: a loose connection, a bent or
missing pin on one the connectors. Or maybe the color adjustment was just
out of whack. Since it's returned to normal, I would set this on the back
burner.
well I'll find out sometime down the road. Not going to screw things up
just to try another way. Or can you now partition a drive that's already
set with one partition without screwing things up ? There's only 8 megs
available un partitioned on this c: drive.
Well, you were talking about reinstalling frequently. Just before a clean
install, that's a good time to divide up partitions. If you want to adjust
the size of existing partitions once Windows is installed, you'll need
third party partition software to accomplish that.
Imaging in my future I guess. See if that makes things any more stable.
I wouldn't say that imaging (or backup) makes things more stable. It does
offer a huge amount of convenience and time savings though.
Well, I hope this current installation lasts a long time for you. Good luck
with it!
