I wanted to re-install Windows 7 on my computer. I started the installation process thinking it would prompt me to format my hard drive (and getting rid of the old Windows installation) at some point, but that never happened. Instead, the installation froze at some point, forcing me to abort it, and afterwards, it was unable to continue.

So, I installed Ubuntu and formatted the hard drive, thinking I could just install Windows again. Both Windows 7 and Windows XP told me it was impossible because the hard drive was not formatted in NTFS, and I have no idea what that means. Most online forums aren't helpful, I've only found one answer which I am considering trying out now.

Yax is right. So.... do you have any friends with a Win7 computer? I know this sounds like a pain, but if you pull the hard drive, and stick it into someone else's computer as a secondary drive, then use the Window's formatting option, that works ok.

I'll try to look this weekend on how to use the Windows live disk to reformat the pc-- it may be 8 or 10 hours til I can get to that point, but if I can I'll post you some other options.

Look at that link- someone posts some commands about 3 posts down, that may help you??
 
@Dr. EW, car stuff is always fun!!

I, personally, enjoy it-- if I don't have to do it. My nephew has a jeep, and I've helped him replace his shocks, water pump and steering gear box. I have a Saturn that I need to work on the exhaust, but I just don't wanna do it..... However, probably next Saturday, I'll be removing the manifold. Eh.

This is what I've found out-- it's all complicated until you really dig in and do it once. And, the internet has turned us all into 'shade tree' mechanics. You can find instructions on almost anything you want to fix!! yeay internet!
 
Because I need more network experience, I'm starting a personal project. I'm installing ESXi 5.1 (virtual environment) on a desktop box, then I'm setting up a few servers on it-- I have some test Windows Server 2008 keys and I'm going to try some Linux servers-- I want 3-4 servers. Then, I have an Exchange 2007 key so I'm going to set that up and maybe some Linux email server as well. This will likely take me a lot of my free time, but what the hell, right?

I may add a web server and build a website as well... God, I'm a masochist. But, I gotta get experience with this stuff somehow.
 
Just saw this on my reddit front page. I like it.

Lyrics are fun too:
I caught a lot of different fishes
I know some cool places (places where fish bites)
Where you can find a lot of smiling girls
No effort needed to catch something there
But only you are the fish of my dreams
When fish bites, up to half of the hundred
Can I catch over the night.
From Leningradka and to Kapotnya (those are districts of Moscow)
There are shoals of Tanyas and Katyas of all sorts
refrain
I fished a lot, I fished quite often I caught some piranhas.
Once I've even caught a crocodile With a huge jaws
refrain

Edit: The whole album is free: http://sosimc.ru/leningrad/mp3-85

Someone should find something that is entertaining to me. Its cold and wet and dreary here, yet I have a 3 day weekend. I almost wanna go to work on Monday!
 
That's no good! I'm sitting around watching old Judas Priest videos. Currently on Johnny B. Goode
 
I'm not the biggest fan of that cover but it's not terrible. Ram It Down is an ok album, something I like enough when I listen to it.

Now onto Priest...Live! This video rocks, and it's so 80's.
 
I was at sprint car races tonight and sooo much dirt came out of my hair when I took a shower. o_O Also, it was cold as shit tonight! But nothing will never ever compare to when my husband and I went to the 24 Hours at LeMans, stayed in the stands all day and all night till the next day when the race ended and it was was sooo cold over night! We were no where near prepared for it to be so cold. We had no coats with us and we had ended up buying a blanket and using our body heat to stay warm while we attempted to sleep.
 
I'm not fond of the technical aspects of racing but I think they're fun and interesting to watch...not nascar though.

Why are YOU in the chat alone, Wasted? Hmm? :P
 
What do people have against Nascar?

I went to a couple racetracks when I was a young Moshling, but I found them to be too loud and crowded. Not my cup of tea. Racing video games on the other hand..
 
There are a few people in there.

I may be drinking.

And I wanna smell 110 octane fuel burnt with dirt in my face.

I love the races.
