]]> I was installing Windows Vista Service Pack 1 after having downloaded it from the MSDN downloads site.  During one of the reboots, my machine sat on the bootup screen.  This is what I saw:

My machine came with a 250GB hard drive and an optical drive.  I added a second 200GB hard drive so I could run my Virtual PC off of it.  This way I have my main machine running off the 250GB and my Virtual PC (running Windows Server 2003 and running my websites) running off the second drive and my computer doesn’t bog down due to heavy disk thrashing, etc.

Now I see this error message above.  Great.  I guess I’ll have to do a major backup of the drive and put it on a new drive sooner rather than later.
