Microsoft must die!
« on: 17 December 2005, 03:00 »
I am extremely mad at microsoft right now!

I had about 50GB worth of data on my winXP hd. I restart. Everything is gone. Windows wont boot. I installed win2k on another HD put it this machine and fired it up. Windows 2k found about 17million file structure errors. i checked the HD from 2k. all my data was gone. there are bits and fragements of the OS, but other than that. windows XP performed a virtual format when i did a restart

From what I've head of OS/2 it was just slighly screwed. This I have heard from -Mac- users/obssesive fanboys.
Lead Head, that just sucks, I hope there wasn't any importaint data lost. Next time mabey install the OS on a seperate hard drive from the data.

OS/2 is pretty screwed. After windows 3.1, it pretty much died out. It is also is now slowly being released from the icy grip of IBM.

I don't think this is a Windows problem.  A toasted hard drive could be to blame, or a really scary bolt of lightning flashed through your machine.  Windows perhaps reacted poorly to this problem, but I don't think it caused it.

xp did the same to me. you know the scandick at startup. well it ran and instead of asking me weather i want it to make changes,  it just did them. do when it says "The directory C:/dickuments and settings/noob has serious errors. Convert folder to file?" and it just selects yes and turns 30 gig, including all my college work into a 3k file, i get pretty pissed off. why would you want to convert a folder into a file? they are totally different.

Windows XP Service Pack 2. Because we couldn't be arsed the first time.

Windows 98 Second Edition. Look, now you don't need that bloody CD to install new hardware.

Windows Vista. Even your computer knows you have a small penis.

Windows Blackcomb. We are planning the OS after Vista, which is allready a year late.

Windows ME, the Marmite Operating System.

XP Mobile. Take your errors with you.

It's a shitty feature included with scandisk that does absolutely nothing...

Linux has never wiped my hdd like that, and the power in my room is very unstable due to the amount of things i have plugged in - power turns off for about half a sec several times a day.

If a power blip ruins your computer, then, games be damned, you need to install a different operating system.
