Whatever. GO back to your linux

Access Denied, ect..

Any "tricks" to speed this up? Id like to goto bed while this kicks along..

Nevermind.. Somehow got Getright to grab ahold of it. 1.5megs down and climbing.. woot

In the future you might want to do a better job of educating yourself before spouting stupidity. Genuine advantage phones home to get updated lists of pirated product keys and doesn't include personal information in the transmission. If you don't have a pirated copy of Windows then it doesn't interfere with anything you're doing.

As for "desperation" MS is simply opening their long-standing corporate beta testing program to the public and its evidently being very well received. If anything its the public who "desperately" wants to get their hands on the new OS.

I for one appreciate being let in on this stage of it's developement. They didn't 'have' to do it. I've never gotten to test an MS OS before getting it like this. I've been kinda skeptical on whether I actually want to fork out the dough for it and this will help me decide before shelling out.

Anyone had problems duel booting this?

Before i install, id rather not kill my current install.. :O

Did someone delete some stuff or something? Oh and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, rnr don't exist anymore. :icon32:

edit: BTW, I've been trying to get the 64 bit version as well and can't find a good link anywhere. All the ones I've tried are busy or access denied. I knew I should have gotten that one first.

So y eah.. Partition magic.. broke my D:. So, ive lost 90 gigs of shit.. Fuck..


Stupid fucking thing..

Gonna try to convert it to a different file system.. Any tricks to get it back?

Tried to split off some free space, and yeah, punt..

Yeah, I got bored of policing caffeine (who has now resorted to inter-threats via PM) and pruned the thread to keep it somewhat on topic.

I used partition magic once and had to format 2 drives and never used it again. Linux did a better job of partitioning in my case.

Oh hell, hate when that happens. Lucky you.

Anyway, probably going to install the 32 bit version tomorrow and report back when I've played around a bit with it.

Oh fucking thank you CHKDisk..

I suppose you have to get a seperate key for each version?
