Mini is back ONLINE!!
Monday, June 15, 2009, 07:52 AM - Windows, Home Server, DesertCodeCamp
As you may already know, my HP Mini (the one that I had been doing my PIC development on) crashed 30 minutes before my presentation at DesertCodeCamp and I had to "wing it". Luckily, I had set up the Windows Home Server (WHS) that I bought for Sherry for Christmas on Wednesday night, and the automatic backup had created a couple of backups.

I loaded the PC Recovery cd onto a bootable USB key, and then spent all day messing around with the drivers before I finally found the right LAN driver. Once I got the correct driver in place, everything came together and the Mini restored the backup in about 30 minutes, and I was right back where I was on friday night.

Windows home server saved me, and I will get the code up from my CodeCamp session ASAP.
