Default Re: Completely Bummed Out.

I feel your pain and have a suggestion that may help others before they tread the same path. Any time I do a major change(i.e. new hardware, new software, etc) I always install a new system drive(I keep a few 40-80 gig drives around just for this purpose). Any major change is done on a fresh load of XP on an otherwise clean drive. This way, no matter what happens, I can reinstall the last working drive and go back to work like before the upgrade. With drives at $49, its the best $49 I ever spent as it has saved my butt twice already. Once I have a solid working system, one of my spare drives gets cloned so I have a fully working backup system drive in case of a crash(2 kinds of DAW operators: those that have had a drive crash, and those that WILL have a crash).
