I had a slight problem with my laptop and off it went for repairs. Luckily, I had backed up the info before I sent it out. I won't get into the details, but the teachies who serviced it decided that Windows ME (the original OS on the laptop - 3 years ago) would be better to use to fix the problem. I was furious when I got it back because the problem had NOTHING to do with the HD, but I decided it would be a good time to rebuild the system. I loaded XP and also got the SP2 that is so big installed and running. I think I like it better!
It took me days to get everything I need back on and to recover my data from my backup. I re-installed SQL Server 2005 Beta2. I was a little nervous, but it worked like a charm. I can now continue my work with SQL Server Beta 2.
I know I read it before, but it is always good to see it work well for yourslf first hand that SP2 didn't break anything of mine.
