Well. Hippaforalkus is up, but not exactly running. As feared, it wasn't nearly as easy as just plugging in the old drive and installing some drivers to get it all to work. What it looks like I'm going to have to do now is transfer all my files over to the new secondary drive and reformat the primary and do a fresh install of XP. [livejournal.com profile] seijitataki is trying to talk me into Vista. Please, I held on to Windows 98 until I got the machine before Schrodinger, which was only a couple years ago.

Right now, the new drive (Sihnon) is formatting, but once that's done, I can start transferring data. Also, I think I'll at least be able to use a USB flash drive to get some really vital files off of it (the digital file for Module, possible the matte painting for Phase II). One really odd thing is that Windows is seeing a third partition on Arcturus that's 170GB in size.... that drive only ever had a 160 on it, so... wtf?

On the plus side, it's running at 38C, which is nearly half the temp Schrodinger ran at.

Oh, Hippaforalkus, I am annoyed with you already!
