Restoring Athena; A stumble thru reformatting, reinstalling, and putting everything in it's place.

   I've had my computer for about 5 years, making small upgrades here and there. Upgrading the video card, changing the fans out, and a few other things. As time has gone by, my poor Athena (Yes, I name my stuff.) has had programs installed and uninstalled numerous times over. Noticing the poor girl has been laggy for the last year, I decided it was time to start over. I backed up everything I could on a portible drive, and did it..

Reformatted, Re-partiencend, and reinstalled. At first, there where no problems.

   This was a good lesson in remembering that everything but your processor needs driver updates, and as my original driver discs where no where to be found, I needed to search for it. Once the mother board, video card, ethernet, and other drivers where installed I was back on track. Surprisingly WindowsXP updated rather quickly, and AVG & Malware both ran full perfect scans. Now, the next problem;
  
   The onboard soundcard isn't being detected. There is a driver for it, but the card itself is not being detected. So, I went on Amazon and bought a used sound card and now must wait.
All thats left is to get office, photoshop, and the final fantasies reinstalled and I should be back on track with more updates more often, and better photos to boot. Yes, this even means it'll be time to work on the site. Yay. XD
