Dumb stuff people do on their computers

Beer's good.

Really, if I'm not getting paid by the hour, I'd just tell the guy: I recommend a full reformat.

If they're paying me by the hour, I'd gladly sit there with a 2L bottle of Dew, and watch the animation on the defragmenting screen....

Not That I'm Speaking from Experience.....

There may be other pschycotropic compounds which might enhance your viewing enjoyment even further. (than beer)

Maybe you should add this:

Perfect...:evil: and it's true too!

I'd do the same thing, CMH, as long as they weren't poor (most of the people I know/deal with).....like me...X_D

"I took my hard disk out from another computer and installed it in my new computer and I can't understand why it won't work"

I really don't want to sound dumb, but why can't you do that? And how do you quote something so it's in its own little box?

If you really want to know, it is because Windows installs to the motherboard and processor and it you take it out and connect it to a different board and processor it does not recognise them and refuses to run. There are ways to deal with this, however!

A long time ago I had a 3.5" floppy drive that had a broken spring in it so the read head would not lift back up after you took the floppy out..

I tried forcing it and it knocked the read head off of the circuit board that it was soldered to..

I then tried to super glue the read head back on to the circuit board....It didnt work.. So then I went and bought another one for $75..

Wow, thats like 2 stupid things put together..

Well if you didn't uninstall the previous stuff on that HDD ( Windows and other programs you might have ) and try and put it into RAID or something similar with multiple hard drives it could corrupt previous Windows installations.

To answer the second question you have to type quote with brackets ( [] ) and end it with /quote with brackets ( [] )

So like

They'll tell you otherwise, but I feel your pain. In college (I went to an art college in Tampa Bay) we had to draw animations on paper and transfer that to a digital with a Mac.

It worked about 1/5 times. I remember several times I tried, I would have to start all over again. It was seriously sorry. That was my first real experience with a Mac. I remember one guy flipping out when I was waiting for my turn to use the computer. He got up pitching a fit and I remember him showing up throwing stuff later on when I was in the break room.

Lesson: Don't use a Mac. It makes students very angry.

Thanks TimeParadox, but if you erased everything on the old hard drive you could then put it in another computer right?
