    Windows 7 funnies ... LOL

    Hey guys,

    Have to share this with you. My W7 finished downloading, tested it on a VM and good to go on my main system.

    I boot from disk and custom install, everything goes great UNTIL I open My computer and only see 3/4 HDD.

    My main HDD with all my data on is not there. OH MY WORD, such a kak feeling.

    After some thought , lets check disk manager and low and behold it was there but no drive letter assigned. WHY must m$ do this too me.

    Anyhow , got a password to add new users to my network, quite neat.

    Thought id share that experience with you

    Don't you just hate those moments were your gut nots up, and you start thinking OOOOOO #$%K ..

    thinking you have just lost all that data the the client told you not to loose..

    only to realise after a few minutes of chain smoking hitting the bottle writing that suicide note, that hey the drive is there all i need to do is enable the sucker...

    Ah man, I remember back when I didnt know much of anything about a computer, I used to think that those freakin floppies held alot. I would go to the local library and try to download games on it. Good times, good times.

    Heh. I remember when floppies did hold a lot... Now we are setting up another 16TB SAN, thinking: "is this going to be enough?".
