So my attempts to create a Windows boot disk on my office computer fell through, and whatever it is that I did create failed to work, possibly because all I have to work with is a copy of the Windows 2000 CD left by my predecessor. I should have known something was up when it had trouble copying to the disks I brought with me, but then again if I knew what I was doing I wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with. When things like this happen, when a computer crashes and goes dead to the world, it’s an unwelcome reminder of just how computer-ignorant I am. I know how certain programs work, I recognize some terms, and I can navigate the web pretty easily. But in the greater scheme of things I haven’t got a clue. Hopefully tech support does.
