Second Hdd Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Glen wouldn't Plonk you. JANE! HEY! JANE! Yes you, now listen up.

What you have to understand is:

When others help in ng's and give specific suggestions/directions and those
suggestions/directions aren't followed to a T when first presented, it is
very frustrating to have to ask again and again to perform those
suggestions/directions.

If the helper has to ask the questioner again and again if they performed
the tasks suggested without getting an explicit answer, it is very
frustrating.

If the helper has to ask the questioner again and again if they performed
the tasks suggested because the questioner asked a totally unrelated
question without getting an explicit answer, it is very frustrating.

Chat is not a bad thing, but rambling on about life's going-ons has nothing
to do with the problem and adds to confusion, thus further frustration.

Starting new threads about new problems when the original problem isn't
finite adds to confusion, thus adding further frustration.

Getting the understanding? Need I say more? I'm not trying to be mean in
any way, I'm only trying to help those with problems help those who help.
This is not a quote with specific direction that has been mentioned many
times in ng's:
<quote> Help us help you </quote>

Think of it this way:

If you as a person now going to school to better your
education/experience/qualifications did any of the above in class, what type
of education/experience/qualifications would most likely become eminent?

I don't plonk anyone (at least not in a long long time, and not on the MS groups),
though I'm sure I would start if I spent time on the XP groups. The reason for not
wanting to get too involved is TIME. The threads tend to go on with a lot of posts
by different people, and I find it a matter of too many cooks .... It just leads to
confusion. I do think you may soon need your own group though:
microsoft.public.win98.jane

I have been tempted a couple of times to use the old Dan Ackroyd line on SNL's
Point/Counterpoint parody, all in fun of course:

What about microsoft.public.win98.dan?
and maybe
microsoft.public.win98.pcr?

They might feel left out of this setup....

If there isn't anything useful on that old drive, then I would recommend
removing the existing hard drive, installing the older drive as primary
master, partitioning and formatting it, then replacing the original and
reinstalling the second drive as slave. This ensures (within the known
oddities of your system) that it won't interfere with the existing OS.

I beg your pardon? Lucky for you this has become an XP thread & I must
go!

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,

Come on guys, it was just a short giggle.
Least we got a ROTFLMAO from Brian.
Dont read me wrong, I like a bit of fun and I like
to keep things in serious mode too, i'm balanced.

Things have changed re:- the second hdd, unfortunately.
I was really hoping for some success, especially solo and hands-on.
As it turns out I'm giving the other drive as a loaner too.
So, a much better project is at hand of which I came so close to
doing by myselt an hour ago, until I hit an AV glitch.
Instead of putting XP on the new drive I wanted to instal, I have now
thoroughly wiped the Ddrive of my existing.
I went through the set-up of XP an hour ago, got 20mins into it and Norton
seemed to get in the way........... ah heck!
Its in a new post and I would really like to get XP on my comp tonite
as I am falling behind at college because of it, especially Networking!

please read the new post, will only take a few minutes.

regards Jane

Apologies. I guess you didn't see where I wrote "all in fun"....it was a joke,
m'dear. Gotta have a little sense of humour to make it through, and have to be able
to laugh at yourself.
