Slowly getting my shit back together. I've already rebuilt the spreadsheet I use to keep to track vehicle fuel & maintenance. Going through a couple of memory sticks I found a bunch of files I thought were lost for good. I've even had an idea I may be able to find a copy of the blood sugar

Unfortunately, it's not Windoze. BIOS says there's nothing there. SATA1 is *VACANT*. I'm not too sure why the 'D:' drive was on SATA1 and not on SATA2, but with modern motherboards it doesn't matter which channel the drives are connected to. You set boot order independently. Once I get it
