Much gloom this morning - my laptop is knackered - won't boot, tells me \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\WINLOAD.EXE is missing or corrupted. Can't boot from hard drive, can't boot from recovery DVD. Can't do anything. Looks like I need to box it up and send it back to Asus (and its out of warranty )
2.55 Tarateeno Needs every yard of the trip and I was impressed with his efforts last time, he will also relish deep ground and with an extra 4lb from the handicapper I can see him go very close. I am backing on a new idea of mine, which is a 30/70 stake split on the win/place markets. Today as I am going out (hospital for a scan fwiw) I am doing it on the tote. Just a minimum stakes bet from my new theory.
Nassau: Scan on Sunday? Open all hours in the UK! Tarateeno is an out-and-out stayer but is an old sod. Owes me a bit this season, so will have a small wager. Would prefer the extra 1/4 mile and a stiffer track but one can't have everything. Royal Chatelier the danger IMHO. This Bendant defies logic on breeding? GL today!
ODDY---can you not even start up in "safe mode"---when you switch on press F8 vigourously to get the black screen on and safe mode start option---if it works do a system restore from a saved checkpoint. failing that give it a good thud with a digging shovel----good luck
Really looking forward to seeing Hurricane Fly back on the track. Hopefully he can make up for lost time.
Odddy there is nothing to boot mate operating system is missing or corrupt lol. It will find the CD but you need to go in to the BIOS by pressing F2 fast and numerous times as soon as you press the power button it should be F2 but sometimes its F10. Go along to the boot tab and then change it to CD-ROM and save changes - when you boot up now it should look straight in the CD Drive rather than looking to boot the operating system . Had that error several times myself mainly caused by turning off the computer the lazy way or messing with REG keys. Try what Chief said first as this way if it does log in you may be able to save your files/data whatever is on your comp but I doubt that will work if the operating system file is corrupt
RV----yep mate--just been reading on line---that way as well mate had things written in my little black-book,but chucked that away when ARKLETITHEED got sunk. btw--just been chatting to that big galoot galaxy---hes fine---and sends his wishes to all
1.25 Leopardstown BLACKSTAIRMOUNTAIN As the best form going into the race as He as beaten all the horses in this field already apart from Flemenstar who looks like a nice progessive type but his form this season isn't worth the paper its write on. Nothing as come out of his three races so far and on a formline with Bailey Green in this race Blackstairmountain had his measure by the best part of 15 lengths to the 7 lengths that Flemenstar beat him. I reckon Blackstairmountain will be too good here and I'll have Notus De La Tour to chase him home again... 2.30 Leopardstown HURRICANE FLY The only horse I have held in the same sentence as Istabraq, It would go against the grain to oppose him. I don't think Willie Mullins will have him fully wound up as the Champion Hurdle is his main aim but I still think he'll be too good for Unnaccompanied. I can't say much else hes the best horse in the race by a country mile... 2.55 Ffos Las - AL SHABABIYA 8/1 with most firms and will like the step up in trip here. Got up in the last strides to beat another horse in this race Inkberrow Rose who is getting 5lb today. With the further distance today and softer ground I can't see the form being reversed as Al Shababiya looked like she needed further and I expect a bold show again...
Chief - I am glad Galaxy is doing well. I bet he isn't happy about Notts Forest Arkletitheed Danbo it would have been abooot time - COME ON THE BORO
Chief/RV: Holy mackerel! If mine does that (Toshiba assures me it won't ) I'll have to dump it if shovel does not work! You guys really know your onions with this stuff, compliments. (Glad to hear Galaxy is doing fine, good man, best wishes from me too). (Oddy: Hope you get it fixed btw - good luck!).
SWANNY,tbh i know **** all about computers,i only know things if its happened before to me and even then i have to write it down. if i struggle i consult my good good friend--chief vambo.a bottle of spiced rum usually does the trick.and the magic word---KATTANGA. i do like making the odd movie,but there are no villans to pick on now.
