This morning, I managed to completely destroy Windows XP by attempting to uninstall SP3 to fix a Windows Update issue I was having.

The uninstall starting asking for the location of a bunch of files and when I wanted to cancel the uninstall, it kept going and deleted a bunch of critical Windows files instead. So now, the machine will no longer start XP. Great.

I take most of the blame on myself, but I’m still angry and frustrated and writing this on my iPhone, so this is all you get today.
