After receiving a virus from a downloaded movie, no not porn, my computer wouldn't connect to the interwebz.
Ah, no problem I remembered I had a copy of Ubuntu on my hard drive. So, I surfed the web with it for the past couple of weeks until it crashed.
After messing around, I decided to do a fresh XP install. Of course, doing this, I lose all my passwords, movies, music ,etc.
Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!!
After the re install, I realized all I had to do was re- install the driver disc that came with the motherboard and all would be fine.
No, I didn't back up or save anything.
I am truly, a dumbass
