Oh My Freakin' Word

You remember how the computer idiots I went to couldn't get my 2nd hard drive working? Windows was able to recgonize it as connected hardware, but it wasn't showing as a drive letter in explorer. Their theory was that the two drives in my old machine had been set up as one physical drive with two partitions. I don't think that's even possible, but okay. They decided they needed to competely reformat the drive so it was set-up correctly. Several days later (because it takes that long to reformat a drive, even though I've done it before in 30 minutes) they say the drive still isn't recognized in windows. This the point where I demanded my machine back.

Enter Norton Systemworks. I was running some routine scans today and Norton Disk Doctor asks me if I'm having troubles reading my 2nd hard drive. It says that there isn't a dos partition on the drive and offers to fix the problem. After less than a minute and a restart... my 2nd hard drive is working beautifully!

Have I mentioned how incompetent these people were? I'm soooo tempted to call them up and tell them that it took me 5 minutes to fix the problem they spent days on.

comment already

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion


omg you have to call them. Usually drives come with their own software which helps you install the flippin drive anyway - it's fool proof.


I happened to find a fool up to the challenge.


oh. my. gawd.
you should totally call them, complain to the manager/owner/queen of england and get your money back.
