Windows really makes it hard to delete/uninstall previous versions of windows. Windows Server 2003 makes it all but impossible. fdisk (via DOS) doesn't work, Computer Management won't allow you to format "system" volumes and since you can't go to DOS to do these tasks, you can't format the boot volume EVER!! You can't even boot from DOS without special software not manufactured by Microsoft. Despite this, I found a program that allows you to have as many Windows versions on your computer as you want (no thanks to Microsoft) and I finally was able to format my hard drives and am reinstalling Windows Server (hopefully for the last time this year...) Should be up and running again soon (I'm working off my laptop at the moment). Looks like I'll be reinstalling Windows (!!!) The installation disk also doesn't allow you to choose what disk/partition you want windows installed on so it automatically installed it on my 3rd hard drive! What the HELL man! So just to save myself time, I'm unplugging all of the drives I DON'T WANT WINDOWS ON from the motherboard and then installing Windows. (!!!!) I hate Microsoft right now. I had to disconnect two of my hard drives and now it's reinstalling on one of three completely blank partitions but it never asked me which I wanted it on. It asked me a couple installations ago. It's "copying files" but I have no idea where it's copying them to. I'm so pissed off right now. I was supposed to have today off, sleep in. But noooo. I see my pdoc at 2:15pm so I can't technically sleep in at this point. That was a 2:00am thing. I officially have OCD so I'm supposed to bring that up and see if I can't get something for that and my "doom" feeling. Sometimes it's nice to know what you have has a name but when you're told for years that it's "normal" to be ... [anal] about things, it's not always that nice being told you're ... abnormal. Know what I mean? Of course those people who said it was "normal" didn't know the amount of anxiety behind it, weren't psychologists (and had no knowledge whatsoever about the field). I guess you can't technically treat something that doesn't exist so now I at least have something that I can work on. I need a little fishy chiropractor. I don't know what happen but I came home last night and my fish looked like his spine had bent and then got stuck that way. He can't seem to straighten out and I'm afraid he's in pain. When he swims he can only swim in a circle. I put in medication and 1/2 an Amonia Clear tablet...He's eating and he's responsive when I talk to him so I'm just going to wait it out I guess. See what happens. I hope he's not in pain. I wish I should give him a fishy sized Aleve. Here goes my ... 3rd(?) Windows installation since I said I hope I don't have to do it again this year. This one started all by itself though. I finally did a quick format of my 2nd hard drive and removed the windows version on my first hard drive/3rd partition from the boot.ini file so maybe it's fixing the version on the CORRECT partition which is drive C. Good thing I don't work in the morning. This is part of my "obsessive" thought process though. I can't sleep until this is sorted out. I can't go to bed until there's nothing left to worry about. Of course I still have to hand wash my sweater, exercise, clean the fish tank, etc., etc. or else I'll never be able to sleep. I've given up on my room ever being clean again though. I just can't seem to manage that one anymore. All right, third time's a charm. Windows is on C:\ G:\ is now blank, D:\ is blank, E:\ is blank and F:\ is all of my documents that I backed up. Everything is right with the world. Well, at least with my computer.
