| 00:00.31 | paddybl | i'm gonna get back to diehard. let me know if u get access over the network |
| 00:00.37 | Moltov | Intending to get a NAS enclosure one of these days... yeah will do |
| 00:02.24 | Moltov | Hm. The hell. |
| 00:02.35 | Moltov | I try to format the C: drive... I get invalid drive spesifacation. |
| 00:03.47 | paddybl | you may not be able to format the drive for a couple of reasons |
| 00:04.19 | paddybl | do u have a restore image that u trying to load? u could leave it up to that |
| 00:04.29 | Moltov | No. I need to whipe the bugger clean. |
| 00:04.37 | Moltov | and start over XD |
| 00:05.05 | Moltov | suppose I can wait to try through the windows installer. |
| 00:05.09 | paddybl | ya but u can't do that straight from dos i don't think. u need to use dos to pull some sort of bootable across and run it. |
| 00:05.25 | paddybl | gimmie a minute i'll look |
| 00:06.15 | Moltov | Oh. Hey. Just realised one hiccup in what I was doing XD |
| 00:06.27 | Moltov | This is a w98 boot disk. |
| 00:06.32 | Moltov | It wont be able to deal with nfts. |
| 00:07.18 | Moltov | what it looks like is I need a diffedrent boot imag |
| 00:07.25 | Moltov | this ones rather poorly suited to my situation |

| 00:16.01 | Moltov | strange |
| 00:16.05 | Moltov | cant seem to fdisk it. |
| 00:16.06 | paddybl | ya its one of those things don't come up very often. u learn how to do everything then forget it |
| 00:16.23 | paddybl | dir and see if fdisk is there |
| 00:16.28 | Moltov | nah, im not even running into that... |
| 00:16.31 | Moltov | Oh, I know it is. |
| 00:16.39 | paddybl | whats it say when u try and run it? |
| 00:16.55 | Moltov | Invalid drive spesifaction. |
| 00:17.23 | Moltov | even just c: causes that error |
| 00:19.10 | paddybl | weird |

| 00:24.26 | paddybl | good |
| 00:24.36 | Moltov | but it still seems to not see my actual HDD. |
| 00:24.38 | Moltov | I think. |
| 00:24.58 | paddybl | i hope u run into all the bugs tonight so i don't run into them tomorrow |
| 00:25.03 | paddybl | lol |
| 00:25.09 | Moltov | I imagine your situation will be more standard. |
| 00:25.14 | Moltov | This laptop is ah... Not. |
