Sir M’s computer is fixed… sort of.

The issue? Well here’s what happened.

We got Sir M a handy dandy new wonderful hard drive. 120 gigs. Woohoo, tons of space for all his stuff, right? ALl is good! Well apparently he decided instead of just copying over the files he needed from the old hard drive we took out he would image the entire drive onto the new one. Now this is not the drive he boots off of. He kept his OS and such files on his original small disk it was on. Hold over from the crappy 98 days when you had to do that since you’d be reformatting your OS every six months because Windows would quite literally eat itself.

So, even though the computer was booting off the c drive which was set as master and has always had the OS on it, and the computer claimed to be looking on c drive… when I went into the bios and turned off the slave drive everything works fine. Gaaaah! Crazy!

So don’t know what we are going to do with all of the data on there and all, but Sir M says he’ll just reformat the 120 gig drive. He doesn’t want to use NTFS or linux file format… he said something about FAT32? I think FAT32 is not the way to go, but um… OK.
