Missed me?
Thursday, May 28, 2009 by CarGuy1 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Just in case anyone was wondering why I have'nt uploaded any dreams for the past few weeks, my main system started acting up a couple weeks ago and I ended up with a BSOD every time I booted.
I did a system restore using the back up I created with Microsoft's back up software that came with Vista Ultimate but it appears the hard drive was toast. I replaced it but to my surprise, my back up wouldn't restore because the new hard drive was a different size from the original. Come to find out, this is a form of piracy protection Microsoft added to thier back up software. To me it makes the program worthless. Funny thing, I have another backup program that I bought with Nero 9 that I've never used, looks like I'll be needing it now.
Sad to say, I've lost some of the dreams I was working on but oh well, it could have been worse...C'est la vie.
Anyway, I've started some new dreams and should be back to uploading this weekend.

No. For desktops, I always build my own systems. I can't see paying the higher price for someone to set up a nice rig for me.
I've actually built another PC since this I had this problem. It's an Intel Q9550 Quad core with 8 gigs of 1066 DDR2 ram, Velociraptor HD, and a NVIDIA GTX 260 Superclocked 896MB video card. I'm going to set the old dual core PC mentioned in the original post as part of a render farm.

Glad your back CarGuy. I know the feelings, my HDD finally crapped out. I dread all the re-installation time.
