Lessons learned during my down time

These are not for you smart guys out there (you know who you are) but for the rest of us.

1) Copyto is a very easy to use sw and can be used to goto your ultimate 'slimmed down xp' with a few clicks. This is very useful for going back to some 'useable xp level' to do registry tweaks. In my case I go back to a 2011-9-14 level os, make registry changes, then get back to a 40 mb windows with copyto.

2) If you do the above make sure you leave your earlier level os in cmp mode (with all of its own registry changes) other wise you cant reboot. Experience is the best teacher here.

3) When you get a HAL error make sure you try reflashing your bios before giving up. It was my key for getting out of a noboot condition.

4) Rebooting is necessry for implementing registry changes.

5) Use of an imaging program like Snapshot or Ghost is an absolute must to diagnose/solve issues. If you dont have one get one if you want the ultimate is computer audio operating system. Everybody makes mistakes.
