On a pleasant note, I've got Homestar's OS and drivers and such reinstalled.  I haven't gotten to the applications yet, except for PowerDVD.  But, I did get a driver installed that I apparently hadn't installed before.  Apparently the builtin Windows XP bluetooth support sucks.  I installed the Dell driver this time and it's actually working with the bluetooth headset I have.  It's really neat.  Hopefully, by the end of tomorrow, I'll have everything back to normal.
