<0> that's what SD70MAC's page said
<1> you need to fix up the boot sector.
<0> I need the boot sector to load ntldr
<1> somehow a DOS-era bootsector snuck up on there.
<0> so what will do that?
<1> you need to nuke it and put it back on.
<0> there must be a simple way to make a boot sector
<2> I am Locutus of Borg. Have a nice big cup of STFU.
<1> Borg do not have names.
<2> I am Locutus of Borg. Shut the **** up.
<1> I reject reality and subsitute my own
<2> I am Locutus of Borg. We will ***imulate your reality and add its distinctiveness to our own.
<3> You made me fire up musikcube just to listen to the picard song :)
<2> I am Locutus of Borg. Which Picard song?
<3> This one! http://tborgax.homepage.dk/audio.html
<2> Not found.
<3> Odd. It works fine here. You can grab it from here as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DarkMateria
<2> That reminds me of that Vietnam War song.
<4> wow. now that was incredibly atrocious.
<2> I wish I knew why qraptime plays media in IE. I don't think I let that horrible software onto my machine.
<2> Yeah, I couldn't listen to it all the way through.
<4> rock. i need to print this out and hang it on my wall. http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20060108
<5> poo
<6> WTF is "Claria?
<6> "
<4> some spyware thing, i think.
<6> and I don't get the "Retainer" reference
<6> everything else is funny tho
<3> Quicktime is a pile of ****. I installed itunes for my ipod, and it insisted on pinstalling this Quicktime. I had to deny all permissions to the Quicktime execubtable files before it would piss off.
<3> Claria is Gator. They renamed themselves to try and look good.
<6> oh
<6> instead of the Claria line
<6> I woulda put
<6> "I installed Spy Devastator and...."
<2> I hate it when I put **** where I won't lose it.
<6> that "Quick Question for you" line though
<6> that **** is cl***ic
<2> 3 hours later...
<6> yeah
<2> "Where are the TPS reports?"
<2> http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20060101
<6> where's google at now? $1723/share ?
<2> I don't have any shares, ergo I don't care. :D
<1> wish i was able to buy google share.s
<2> Yeah. Me too. I want to buy some BNSF shares.
<2> I suppose in a year to 18 months I can start buying up stocks to ***ist with my retirement fund.
<4> In November in Murfreesboro, Tenn., U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs bureaucrats Joseph Haymond and Natalie Coker were charged with taking kickbacks from suppliers on government purchases of 100,000 rolls of red tape. (The tape is distinctive, red "security" tape used on packages of VA pharmaceuticals.)
<2> Good thing we have these upstanding citizens doing their public service.
<2> I'm going to the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge in a few minutes to take some pictures. I am anticipating seeing some of you there.
<7> something is weird with my drive, keeps spinning down and then back up
<7> over like 10 minutes
<3> lakez sounds like it's dying
<3> I'd backup all the important stuff on that drive, then run chkdsk on it, and the HDD makers tools on it to see how bad it is.
<7> sigh, seagate
<3> Seagate are supposed to be pretty good. I use WD drives myself.
<2> You've probably told windows to do that.
<2> In which case you can, "sigh, lakez"
<7> SD70MAC, when i'm using the drive tho?
<7> turn drives off = never
<2> What makes you think they are spinning down, then?
<7> i can hear it
<7> my computer freezes while they spin back up
<2> Check BIOS settings related to the drive and make sure the power cables are secured.
<7> it could be drive errors, because lately my drive slips into PIO mode over the course of like 2-3 weeks
<7> goes to 3.5MB /sec (HDTach) ... then i remove the drivers, reboot, reboot again. and it's back to 40-50MB/sec
<2> You could have just gotten a bad drive. But it would be disingenious to blame an entire company for your bad drive.
<7> This is my first "bad" seagate drive
<7> i'm pretty sure it's dying but no smart errors
<7> do smart errors report in windows?
<2> Welcome to the club.
<2> If the appropriate drivers are loaded.
<4> if you have SMART monitoring software on the system.
<7> in Disk Management ... (Healthy) is listed
<7> i suppose that does smart
<2> That refers to the partition, not the drive.
<7> ahh ok, gonna google for smart software
<7> thanks fellas
<7> i should check seagate first, they probably have the software
<2> Now you're catching on.
<7> ****ers want me to burn a disk heh
<7> can you boot from a dvd drive ?
<7> or rather, boot from a DVD disk
<2> Yes.
<2> Do whatever the ****ers want you to do.
<2> Its their ****ing drive, and those ****ers know what the **** they're doing.
<0> anyone still here who was advising me about my windows boot issue?
<0> ah, SD70MAC
<0> the solution was some freeware called bootpart
<8> ew, bootpart is dangerous
<0> I knew it was basically something simple
<0> worked for me
<8> why not just boot off install media and do fixmbr?
<2> I don't run into that problem often enough to know anything about it.
<0> answer: no install media available
<2> He doesn't have the install media.
<8> tsk
<0> but it works
<7> can you burn a CD (iso) to a DVD ? it seems to force me to a CDrom .. I've only DVD's available
<2> lakez: Yes.
<0> now my next question is: was it worth it to spend $200 to fix up my gf's 800x600 500mhz ibm thinkpad
<0> that is a small screen :(
<6> Klotho: is she gonna give you anything ?
<2> klotho: Depends entirely on her reaction.
<7> ahh i see the dropdown, thanks SD
<6> like maybe a special computer repair gift :D
<0> well, it's like 10x faster now because she had a failing 4200rpm 6g and now she has a 5400rpm 40g and 196K of extra RAM
<6> well
<6> as far as your girlfriend's reaction
<6> RAM is a key word here
<0> actually I haven't put in the ram yet, and it's already 10x faster
<0> that disk was crap
<8> vigorously
<0> and this one has an 8M buffer
<2> Yeah. Vigorous RAM or a waxing of the tallywhacker.
<0> this is one of her xmas presents
<0> $200 of components, $2000 of my valuable time (if a client were paying, which they ain't)
<2> It would appear, then, that only you can determine if it was worthwhile.
<0> I thought it would be, until I started it up and saw that tiny 800x600 screen
<2> You shoulda used that $2000 and gotten her a new system.
<0> yeah, but it was $2000 of theoretical money
<0> not actual cash
<0> I was gonna buy her an ipod nano, but her sister sent her an extra someone gave her
<2> I know. But if you used $2000 worth of time to put in a hard drive, you either make enough to do it or you don't know what the hell you're doing.
<6> what's a "red-eye" flight ?
<2> FK: Late night/early morning flight.
<6> thanks
<2> As opposed to a red *** flight, overbooked and you're it.
<7> thanks guys, checking out the drive now ... hopefully ti's good
<6> w00h0h0h0000
<6> I caught a 2 pound b*** on the b*** fishin' game
<0> how are you gonna cook it in the cooking game?
<2> Beer batter, baybee!
<9> my printer keeps printing even though there is no print jobs in my printing window
<4> and who are you to suppress its nature?
<4> it's a printer, damnit. by jove, it wants to print!
<9> How can i clear my printer memory?
<4> turn it off.
<4> (ooh, rocket science.)
<9> it has been powered down for over a day now
<10> do what you always do, ask spock
<4> powered down and still printing? uh, okay.
<5> LIE
<9> it is still printing
<5> color lasers are getting cheap $249 today at staples
<9> i have powered down, turned off and it is still printing
<5> LIE
<5> your telling us you turned it off and its still printing?
<4> um, are you perhaps skipping a step there?
