FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK You Bill Gates very much for this
Xeen:
So I was away from my primary computer for a few days using an older one with Windows XPiss on it. I was using what little free time I had to work on my movie. I captured what I need, did a lot of editing, etc.. When I was getting ready to leave I decided to move all the files (a total of 6 DV-AVI files in 7 GB) to a portable NTFS formatted blank hard drive. I start moving the files. The first 4 files (the smaller ones) moved ok. Finally I started moving the last 2 files which were quite larger than the other ones (2 gigs each). About 10% of the way guess Windows explorer crashes. On top of that when I click "End Task" I get a BSOD.
I restart the computer, XPiss does its disk checking thing. I log in. I check both hard drives (the original and the portable one). Guess what? Those 2 files that I was moving during the crash were gone on BOTH! I tried some file recovery but much no luck. I rather redo those two files from scratch then restore partial files and have corrupted audio or video somewhere in the middle.
To Microsoft (because we know you visit this site): I have a question for you:
HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO WRITE A WORKING FILE-MOVING FUNCTION IN A (NON)OPERATING SYSTEM THAT DOMINATES THE MARKET???????
FUCK YOU BILL GATES VERY MUCH FOR THIS. You deserve to be locked up in a prison full of criminals who use Linux and Macs. I hope that one day you end up alone somewhere in the artics and get eaten by penguins. FUCK YOU!

Hope you learned an invalueable lesson from this. Next time COPY the frickin' important, large file to where you want it and then delete the original.
Do you expect me to believe that you did all that editing on an XP machine because you were away from your "primary" PC. C'mon!!!

That's what any well written move program should do when transferring a file between file systems.
Do you mean the invaluable lesson is that people should assume that MS move isn't well written?

If that way of looking at it works better for you, then OK. It's the same either way.

It looks like you should consider a MAC.
This has NEVER happened on a MAC - I recommend the Dual Processor 2gb 64bit G5 - THE MOST POWERFUL COMPUTER IN THE WORLD.
Try a MAC - If you do you will never use a windoooozzzzzz pc again!!
