<Knoeki> okay, so like
<Knoeki> at school/work/whatever
<Knoeki> I had to install Linux on a machine a while ago. went pretty smooth and all, no problems really.
<Knoeki> now today, I had to install windows on the EXACT same machine
<Knoeki> but noooooooooo
<Knoeki> first, it formats, copies the files
<Knoeki> then it reboots to install
<Knoeki> can't read the disk.
<Knoeki> or well, Windows installer can't read the disk
<Knoeki> the BIOS can see it fine.
<Knoeki> so, we try again
<Knoeki> and again
<Knoeki> then we got some sata-raid drivers from the mobo manufacturer
<Knoeki> which diddn't fit on a floppy
<Knoeki> so we had to get other drivers
<Knoeki> then, there is no floppy drive in the system
<Knoeki> so we get a floppydrive
<Knoeki> but it doesn't work
<Knoeki> so we try 3 different cables with same result
<Knoeki> then we tried a USB floppy drive
<Knoeki> which wasn't showing up at all.
<Knoeki> then we tried 2 other floppy drives
<Knoeki> the last one worked
<Knoeki> then we find out the drivers don't work.
<Knoeki> no, even worse
<Knoeki> they made sure windows installer diddn't see the disk AT ALL after rebooting
<Knoeki> so we try again
<Knoeki> but no suck luck
<Knoeki> so we get *other* drivers
<Knoeki> which caused the installer not to see the HDD anymore D:
<Knoeki> THAT IS HOW MY FUCKING DAY WAS
<Knoeki> and worse
<Knoeki> I'm skipping the details
<Knoeki> I've been installing fucking M$ windows for over 6 hours, and it still does not work o.O
<Knoeki> all because the system is too retarded to read floppies properly (it gave errors on floppy reads which worked fine in other machines..)
<Knoeki> and because M$ is too stupid to think of the simple fact that you may want to BROWSE a floppy in the installer, because the driver file is not in the root dir.
<Knoeki> I fucking cursed about M$ till no end
<Knoeki> I was ready to fucking strangle someone.
<Knoeki> THAT'S how pissed off I was.
