Mozilla really needs to stop that. I think the folder name is a hash of the profile name, but still.

And too top it all off, I an now out of the SE V beta.

I don't know what to do about that, say for emailing Aaron and asking for help in re-authorizing me.

If you are keeping the same hardware and just reloading the OS your code he gave you should probably still work. But if you don't have that email or if it doensn't work just send him an email. I had a similer thing happen during the SE4 gold beta and it was no problem. He just sent me a new code.

I took a disk once to a place called "Data Doctors". It turned out the disk was not hard crashed, but they have data recovory services available to get what can be gotton for the disk. While the store I visited was in Dallas, they are a somewhat national chain. It can cost though. More for fast and hard crashes, but you do get the data back.

That brings up another point. Can to boot your computer from another (New?) harddrive? Use the old broken one as a secondary drive. You may be able to see Files and directories on it and recover DOGA files and other data that may be there.

It is a horrible feeling when one cannot trust ones own computer. Everytime I start it now I sit here with a fear that its going to BSOD me again.

In my case the HD is fine. The problem was caused when XP was updated following the installation of new Nvidia drivers after I unistalled Norton and then installed and then uninstalled AVG.

I think now that the problem is a conflict between the latest XP security update and Nvidia's latest 91.31 drivers. After the complete system restore the very last thing I did was install the new Nvidia drivers. Today the PC has worked flawlessly until XP did a security update. Following the reboot, crash city. It even crashed on a safemode reboot. Following that I was given the option to restore to previous last known good configuration and did so. I have since rebooted again with no problems. Which brings me back to its a horrible feeling knowning that you cannot trust your own computer.

Very scary.

You should go back to the previous version of the drivers, which I think was 81.98 (?).

Well everything seems to be working now. Must have just been an oddity. I will know more when I reboot. If it crashes, then R13 would be correct.
