Up until this weekend, I was completely convinced that the 0xDEADBEEF was more a programming joke than an actual system error message. This weekend, I learned a lot.
Was reloading the wife's grandmother's computer after a particularly nasty crash. When I attempted a Windows repair install, the mythical 0XDEADBEEF reared its ugly head not once, but three separate times.
So, yeah. I ended up formatting and wiping out the whole thing.
they lost some stuff, but the whole experience was somewhat surreal.
