Some backup notes and use of recovery.
I was trying to create an Image backup... failed. Had to start back to the begining, tinkering with partition messed up drivers. but my datas mostly safe on disc, no loss there.
I cannot afford a new windows OS or PC, at least for like 5 months but no more partitions for XP doesnt work well. I'm not good enuff to make that work. :\
Okay what I need is advice on what steps I should do first?
First,
Should i establish connection to internet?
Should i uninstall programs?
Go immediately to SP2 and 3? (have both on usb stick)
Get rid of norton trial? ( is there a free norton removal tool? )
upgrade framework? (gonna need help with this)
I think a good move to get on SP2... so most help programs like malwarebytes can install scan or offer a bit of protection while i re-build.
What you smart guys think, dont wanna make mistakes... but i learn from them.
