starting over again....

... well, I know how my day is going to be spent. $1000 worth of computer parts, but no identifiable difference so far. except that the error message when i boot my computer is gone. and my hard drive hasn't eaten any of its own partitions yet. and, and, and.

reinstalls, here i come! (maybe i'll put my mp3s into some kind of order while i'm at it)

eeeeeek.
