Set the smoker to about 235, oil up the lap top with some EVOO and let'er run for about 4 hours or until the familiar pale blue has turned to a deep rolling grey. When you think you have hit a good intenal temp, pull'er out and place on a solid surface. Beat with hammer until you can no longer recognize. There ... nothing a good smoke can't cure.
hmmm ... could be I have my smokes mixed up again
If it can't be smoked .... try frying it. It that don't work, it's probably best just left alone
Backup, Backup, BACKUP!! Many sites online where you can backup your data or invest in a portable hard drive that you can use to backup you (new) computer. I also would recommend using something called Microsoft Sync Toy. It backs up new and changed files only (once you have a full backup). Tough lesson learned bro.
