Take a break mister. I'm glad you're up and running again. For the
future, you may want to consider external HDs in conjunction with a
backup program like Acronis True Image. Restore points can be good but
since they're on the main (C:\) HD, they will be useless if the HD
itself has a massive mechanical failure.
