...that makes me want to murder anyone and everyone related to or works at that company...anyway well it's official...my Windows98 "partition" aka my FREAKING C: drive is corrputed...2 M$ related problems in one day, not a new record but close enuff. Good thing I finally installed 2k otherwise I'd be gone from the scene for months most likely. I decided to run all the tests Norton had to offer and found a shitload of errors...one of which is an error in one of my sticks of RAM...I really hope it's not my 256 stick. Oh and not to mention my registry is so large in 98 that it crashes norton when it tries to "examine" it so it can "clean" it up...I'm so mad I could just kill someone...why does this shit happen to nice ppl? Yea, believe it or not I'm a nice guy...just don't get me angry or on my bad side Shit's really trying my patience at this point in time...I ain't got no more CDRs to start backing up my stuff soooo...translation:

I need reformat, can't reformat until I back up my 8,330 mp3s and a host of other important data...
Since my drive(s) had errors and are severely fragmented (according to Norton) I'm not going to use my comp much, only to read email and post sparringly here (yay you can celebrate now). <img src=smilies/2gunsfiring_v1.gif> See the funny thing is all this time I've been using Scandisk and Disk Defrag providid BY M$...and Norton tells me that my shit's still got errors? Pttf...WTF is that shit really? And to think I actually BOUGHT my Win98/2k legally...what a waste of money...

The best way to protect your computer, is to always be prepared to re-format. I have another computer hooked up to this one with a 30 gig hard drive, I burned an ISO of both Windows 98 and XP, and all my drivers are stored in one area.

...And how can your ram sticks be corrupt? Couldn't you just erase everything inside them?

Last time I had those kind of problems it ended up being a very sneaky virus that liked to attach itself to everything and would cause errors that Norton showed as the ram screwing up which was actually the virus hiding in the ram chips. <img src=smilies/cwm11.gif>

No. . ram can be damaged just as any other thing.
What happened usually is a trace is damaged or some other misc bullshit happened. .and you get a toasty stick of ram. :P Yummy

Ahhhhhahahahaha...thanks man for making me laugh...I needed it. Mac OS X actually is a decent OS...if they would just make a "deal" with the devil and buy rights to be able to run PC progams at 100% speed and I might switch...but then again when I can build a PC for $450 that's faster than a Mac there's no need to switch...I guess it's a double edged sword...<img src=smilies/erm.gif>

LOL! Now that you mention it, it does sound like a cult! <img src=smilies/laff.gif>

Aggressive recruitment; an instant sense of community; making it difficult to connect to your pre-cult friends...

Can anyone think of some other good signs it's a cult? /wwwthreads/images/icons/smile.gif

ss = short story :)

well... more like an explanation of what i mean. i have a scoutmaster, right, well... he's a real cool guy and all except NEVER talk to him about computers. he'll try to tell you that the worst mac attributes are the best :P he'd sell the idea that lack of customizability is a good thing. he is so fanatically loyal to apple, that explaining to him that it lacks dev support makes him start a string of annoying phrases about how its do to the stupidity of developers that mac doesn't have more dev support.
