hi
my motherboard melted, so i got a new one. bluescreens because windows didnt
like my new mobo, which was expected anyway, so i reformat my C partition and
reinstall win2k again.
imagine my delight when I discover that sp4 express install has used my D
partition to store its temporary files without warning BEFORE I added the
EnableBigLba atapi parameter, so it screws up my entire drive.
To top it all off, after the failed install it decides to reboot while I'm
90% through a 27mb gfx driver download, proving windows is THE STUFF OF
CHAMPIONS.
a big thanks goes out to the ms testing team for their great work...
whenever you'd like to take over my computer and use it however you see fit,
go ahead, feel free - i'm just a stupid user I wont mind.
I'd like to flame you guys and correct all the grammar and typos in this
post, but i can feel another unscheduled reboot coming on
