re: #189 William Barnett-Lewis
If I were you, I’d say ef it for tonight & make the store swap it out tomorrow and start over from scratch. For all my dislike of Redmond, this should be as simple as plug it and go & if it doesn’t it’s more likely the hardware than it is the software.
If you really want to make sure, you could download a cd/dvd image of some free OS (linux/bsd/whatever) and try it’s installer but odds are if the MS installer won’t see it, nothing will.
hey William! So about 4 years ago our company owned the largest HD mfg in the world…HD are shit..There is alot of waste from scrap, quality issues and costs..We lost millions every year and everybody was amazed at the losses and there were a lot of pissed off directors.
We sold that shit operation off to Seagate I believe.. suckers..:)
Also our biggest competitor is Toshiba in Japan..There has been bad blood for like a 100 years between us..I’ve heard some great stories about the feuds.
So in keeping with our fine traditions… Fuck Toshiba!
