So I have been trying to make my 20 Gig HD my core HD and use my 180 Gig drive to hold everything thus lightening the load on the windows process. I “got” Norton ghost to aid in the transfer of the windows from the 180 to the 20 and in the process had to erase all my games, video files and made CD’s of all my archived music. I finally got the 180 drive down to a moveable size to the 20 and found out that Norton can’t do math. In my head 17.6 Gigs fits onto the partitioned 18.4 or so Gigs but to Norton that is still too big. After trying to deal with that I decided that the 20 woudl go well in another computer and I went and bought an 80 Gig at Circuit City which had a higher cache and RPM than the 20 Gig and will, after rebates, cost me 30 bucks. SO I had to transfer what I was trying to save on my Windows which turned into a round robin of attaching different hard drives into the system and installing windows about 3 times. There might have been an easier way but I was fed up with the whole deal. So now I have 200 gigs of raw power waiting for me to fill with nonsense. I just hope it speeds up windows processing speed (and no I will not buy a new mobo combo until my 2100 is duplicated in speed and affordable). The speed wasnt’ that bad, I was just used to something a bit faster. Now I get to go through the fun of reinstalling all my programs and extensions/drivers, which I find in an odd way….fun. Now if I coulld only get Gigabyte to deal with my Mobo in the other computer that will not recognize my PS/2 mouse but will recognize it if the USB drivers are installed (which is no good when I plan to use it as a linux computer to train on and linux has sucky USB drivers!!). Oh yeah for all of us bloggers that blog from work HERE. Had to make reading this post somewhat worthwhile!
