I&#8217;ve stated that Windows is booting slower than normal. And according to the guy that built my computer, this should fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Will this fix my lock up issue as well? I find this doubtful, but slightly probable. I&#8217;m only doing it to get Windows back to the way it was. Why don&#8217;t I just repair Windows instead of reinstall?<br \/>\n(shrug) Well. I dunno actually. But if it fixes it, I&#8217;m all for it.<\/p>\n<p>I made a list of instructions and printed it so I can check them off as I go when I don&#8217;t have access to Windows. What I&#8217;ve seen, this seems easy as 1, 2, 3.<\/p>\n<p>The only things I&#8217;m worried about are, unplugging my internal secondary drive(to be on the safe side), and wiping out the partition and creating a new one. Both of these may do irreversible damage to my computer. And I have no money to cover my losses this time.<\/p>\n<p>If this is successful (which I don&#8217;t see why it wouldn&#8217;t), I&#8217;m going to crank it up a notch by saying &#8220;my lock up issue is software level, so I&#8217;m going to wipe out the E drive!&#8221;. Doing the E drive will be a much more daunting task. More files will have to be moved, including entire directory structures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This could be computer ordeal #3 if I fuck this up.
