At present 7Zip is taking my 'documents and settings' folder from the old hard drive, compressing it and dropping it on the new disk. It's 20% done and has been running for 2 hours and 12 minutes. Then again, the thing is 5.7gB (mainly due to all the 3D renders and animations I've got on there) but it's soooooooo sloooow.
I've also got 93 Windows Updates going (neither of the two apps seem to be impacting on each others' performance).
Why do PCs have to be soooooooooooooooooooo ridiculously sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooow when it comes to these things, when they're all too happy to download viruses at such enormous speeds they're impossible to keep in check?
Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong operations on PCs

My old PC greeted me with this yesterday when I tried starting it.
Does anyone know what this means? If so, how do I sort this problem out? I don't have any magical Windows Start Disk. I hate the fact that computers these days do not come with the Windows Operating System CD-ROM.
Grrr!!

If you're lucky you have the recovery console installed: http://www.help2go.com/Tutorials/Window ... rrupt.html
Otherwise it's a cheesey re-image process for you, or you could download an ISO of the cd for your version of windows, write it, and boot off that.

Honestly, though, I hope that's rhetorical because the magnitude of your ignorance would be quite staggering otherwise.

You can't be too careful what with network congestion, so you should probably turn that one off too.jrothwell97 wrote:I'm actually typing this on a different machine.Sput wrote:Close your browser!
