How I managed to break Windows 8 and repair it with Windows 7.
My Macbook Pro is dual booting OSX and Windows 8. The 120gb SSD drive was split into two 60GB partitions.
Since Windows 8 is what I use daily, this is were space was running low.

After cleaning up the OSX partition as much as I could, it was shrunk using the Disk Utility.
Next step is where I went wrong. With GParted Live CD the Windows 8 partition was moved and expanded to use the free space.

This broke Windows 8 booting. No worries, knew this could happen, already had a Windows 8 Recovery USB to help with this.
Unfortunately for some reason the computer refused to boot from that.
The install DVD didn't work either, freezing on the splash screen. Apparently a known problem that hid when first installing.

After two days of troubleshooting and trying various fixes, a Windows 7 install DVD was the solution.
Booting from that worked fine. Selecting language at initial install screen gave me access to the "Repair your computer".
That was all it took, repair fixed the boot and Windows 8 is running again in its new bigger suit.

So if you are having trouble with Windows 8, Bootcamp and GParted, Windows 7 may be the fix.

Races: 2

2014-09-06 Hässleholmsloppet 2014, 10 km. Time: 01:03:17 (06:20 min/km)
2014-05-13 Freeflowloppet, 12 km. Time: 01:17:04 (06:25 min/km)

Running

Total distance: 347.38 km. With Sam in a Trille Jogger, nine times and 69.5 km.
Average distance per week, 6.63 km. Average per run, 7.08km.

Set a goal of running 60 times during the year, got 49. Almost once a week is good.
Need to slowly increase averages and push myself to get those two shorter runs per week for a while.
Then alternate with a single long run to get some distance training too.

Hiking

One two day hike, you can read about it here Skåneleden, Klinten-Verum-Harsjo

A trial trip to Skäralid, walking the Kopparhattsrundan (pdf) with Sam and friends.
Borrowed a carry-backpack to see if he would enjoy this mode of transportation.
Laughing and making sounds constantly then falling asleep, great success.

So bought a Osprey Poco Plus which we have used four times for a total of 30km already.
Mostly doing the Casper's slinga at Hovdala.
Sam loves it, making joyful sounds and sleeping without issue.
