I'm no expert, but I used to boot from a Linux installation CD, reformat the hard drive from there, then boot from the Windows installation CD and re-install from there...

Thanks for the advice. Sadly, Dell ships their computers now with a reset image, rather than an actual Windows CD. As a result, I can't rely upon anything that requires me to reformat and boot from an installation CD. Of course, the virus is locking me out of that option as well...

Muehle-porn...what else:



Today I visited once again the Muehle- manufactory and bought some stuff:
2 XL DE-razors (with the long handle)...one open comb, one closed comb
one stand for Muehle DE-razor and brush
one stand for Muehle DE-razor
the beautiful silvertip badger metal

The long-handle DE-razors works very well...heavy metal

If you are unable to boot the virus-infested computer, depending on your comfort level and the OS, you *might* be able to add a new bootloader using a Linux install CD and use it to boot the recovery partition. Another option is that Dells most likely sells a recovery CD or DVD for the computer, assuming you have an optical drive at all.

Scales/Razor by Glen: "Yellow and Black G-10 scales for the razor with a Yellow Acrylic wedge. The pins are Nickel Silver with the small SS washers to look like the original pins for these, internal washers are Brass.. The scales are a thin 1/10th inch so they feel like the originals and still balance with the razor."

They feel wonderful in the hand and the edge is superb.

If it is not fixed and you decide to come to the get together, bring it with you. I can fix it.
