An unfortunate registry crash last night
Old hard drive is toast. Encrypted, ya know. Did I backup?
Hell no-too fucking lazy. I'm using B's computer now. But
that's an option for just a few more days. I have recovery
discs, but can't reformat an encrypted drive to reinstall.

A word to the wise: BACK UP YOUR FUCKING DATA!!!!!

See Y'all when I can get to Best Buy to buy a new
HD. Be here a few more minutes.

2. TrueCrypt is the encrypt software
When I tried to reformat using the recovery discs,
all I got was "hard drive not found" dialog box.

5. Let me mull it over tonight
court date tomorrow :) so mind not fully on track.

I can probably help you with this if there is data you really need to get. If you just want to re-install and start over from scratch that should be easy.
