Still a hard disk.

I believe you can configure a RAID set up to have constant back up disks. I personally use an external hard drive to back up precious data and files.

Another thing to do (expensive) is to use the new SSD (Solid State Disks) They are basically hard drives that work using flash technology which has no moving parts allowing for a much, much longer life than conventional hard disks with the moving platters and actuator arms.

And while we are on the tech - topic, I must tell the world about the joys of Vista.

That arse stain just let me happily reformat the "hidden" restore-system-partition from the hard drive, while doing everything in its power to stop me from repartitioning my very own E- partition with admin rights! Meaning: Vista HAD a backup meachanism a 10 minutes ago, but I guess It was deemed unimportant enough to be protected by OS....

And the only reason for me to tamper with it was the fact that I mistook it as "lost" partition which I suspected happening from Vistas very own partition program crashing in the middle of its duty.

GJ Vista! GJ!

I have Windows XP. Whenever I want to make a new partition I usually use a program (open free) called Parted Magic to make new partitions or split an existing one. Make to to defrag first.

Yeah... I have the tools, but VISTA(tm) either gives me "access denied" for touching partition E,
or
"Oh-noes! Its OS-partition" for trying to touch C.

I have tried Vistas own jellydickware tool, as well as EASEUS partition manager. Looks like its time to grab the classic Partition magic...

Plus I doubt it matters, what software I dangle infront of my problem. As long as Vista is determined to shoot my efforts down, this spaceship aint flying....

Whole mess began with virtual ramdrive, Fat32 format, Colliding standards, some tweaks. And it has gone on for hours.

Yeehaw!

You can get an open source program that boots off of a CD (after you download and burn it) called Parted Magic. It will boot you off of the CD on a small Linux based operating system that can create new, delete, or split partitions. Sense you are working off on the Linux OS off of the CD Vista isn't running to give you any grief. You will be working outside of windows on the linux OS on the CD which is unique to only work with the partitions.

I have used this program to successfully split one of my hard drives into two partitions.

I recommend you backup your data before using any partition splitting tools. Don't forget to defrag first.

Goodluck.

Thanks.

The end result was something along these lines:

Partion magic detected an error Vista had caused earlier and fixed it. Resulting a bad partition. Luckily I had all the important stuff on the external 500 G disk, but there went up some 45 gigs. Mostly software installations, so the damage was not that significant.

Pity...

Your welcome. I am sorry to hear about the problem Vista caused. Its a good thing you had your important data backed up. If you have anything on the bad partition, try physically installing the hard drive with that partition in another computer as a slave drive and maybe try manually recovering any files from the bad partition. Hopefully the OS of the host computer can read the bad partition.

Thank you for sympathy.

Luckily the paradigm of my hard-drives could be described as FLOWER- and ROOTS.

If the roots are intact, the flower will always grow back just as pretty as it was. Luckily it was the flower that was burned this time. As there was nothing but installed softwares. Even all my programming projects have their daily backups in safety.

So, in the end all it took was to delete the bad partition and reform new one from the space it left.

Reinstalling is already on its way. 😉

No problem. I wish you luck while re-installing. It can be frustrating getting things back to normal.

Well I don't currently see a way of burning my 720p HD ROTS on any affordable format so watching it on my computer is best.

I also have a 22' Widescreen LCD monitor...muhahaha.

Bull reproductive organ!

I assume you are currently buying DVD movies? Those things have the DVD standard resolution of 800x600 (haven't really memorized, wikipedia helps if you want the exact specs).

As pointed out in a previous post somewhere in this jungle of a thread, there are rather high quality bootlegs floating about the torrent ocean.

Now. Lets do the math. Some high quality movie bootleg on your computer + digital output from your gfx card + 32 inc Plasma tv with similar input in its arse.

Beats the crap out of dvd hands down.

Blu-ray is likely going to change this though.

you can get HD movies on torrent

That is true.

Oh yeah, it most certainly is. Even with DSL is takes a crap load of time to download though!

Indeed. No matter how hard you suck it, the speed is actually determined by the suckers sharing with their 12 B/s homemade modems.

Edit: Not that Im trying to sound educating, it just came off that way. =P

I have never received my 1000 Kb/s down speeds consistently in any single torrent.

Oh well, suppose its more like making homemade booze. Set the thing up and let it bubble... Come back later and enjoy.
