Need Help Fast!!!
Monday, February 10, 2003 by BabyPooh | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I finally got my XP Pro and I want to do a clean install. But, I can't remember how to reformat my hard drive! It's been about 2 years since the last time I reformatted. I have Windows 2000 with NTFS. Please help! 
Thanks in advance!

there are a lot of parts going into that, one of which is a holographic drive that IBM has been working on for the last 6 years, it is now 1 inch X 1 inch cube and it can hold all of the records in the Library of congress, the Smithsonian (every branch) and not even to begin to make a dent in it.
There is also a molecular drive, were they indent molecules in one direction or the other with a high speed laser which is supposed to be something on the order of 1000 times the compact of the Holographic drive and they are also working on making ram out of it.
Nano tubes have been made for two years now, but they were stuck with not being able to bond them together, they have now learned how to actually weild them together at anything, there is talk of making use of them for high-speed tight band communications in possibly in conjunction with teleportation of light across (through) them as a means to ensure direction and end point of transmition. blink and it was done nano seconds before you thought to blink
yep...
we will end up spending from $0.00 up to trillion(s)? for this war in Iraq, neat huh?
mind boggling...

well dont get me started on the war with irag but that computer that uses quantum mechanic is not usein that optical drive by the way it holds a terabyte the last time i checked and it only keep its integrety for about an hour they have also figure out how to do many other amazing things with computers in fact more than I want to talk about in a msg forum if you want we can talk in some kind of chat room but other than that i am done here good sir you seem to know what you are talkin bout I give ya props

in the classical sense, cd-roms and such are definitely optical drives, but they have moving parts, it isn't as if they are immersed and enclosed in the mechanism which reads the data...
So yes it is optical in the sense that it *see's* data, but not, in that it isn't a mechanical classical optical laser, lens configuration.

Caltech has a couple of good papers published on the subject also, I'll have to see if I have anything printed out with the url's on them and post them if I do.
