Tragedy ... Redemption

So, oh my gawd. Twelve hours after I started to try to get my computer to work with the GB/PC Camera Link, I think I managed to get it working properly again. I ended up trashing my boot loader by mistake, and then was unable to get XP to load up. Long, geeky tragic story short, I now have a dual boot Windows XP / ME machine again. And a working method for getting pictures off of my Gameboy Camera! And I didn't lose a single file I needed or wanted. But I had to overwrite my master boot record, swapped the master/slave relationship between my hard drives, and ended installing XP about 4 times, including trashing my old installation.



But it was so worth it. :)

And thanks [info]tweakt for bailing my ass out of "No CD Key Hell". The text messaged Key ended up being invaluable. I needed it several more times.

I'm just waiting for my printer to come. :) I have two boxes of paper just waiting. I also need to go out and get the cable. And I'm going to start playing around with the music production part of it more.

I don't think you'd be able to get the Camera Link to work with a Mac. It doesn't even work with XP.
