    Thanks WHS....got sick of playing in the Command Prompt and decided to partition the main HD and install there from a USB stick. Worked a treat...but having come to grips with the new system I have to wonder just where all the work has gone into it. Once past the Metro interface the look and...

    Windows 7 Why you should say no to Windows 8 and stick with Windows 7.

    Ahhhh..Andrea Andrea Andrea.....you win...you are without doubt, Queen of the Trolls and we all accede to your original demands as in the letter at post #32.

    Windows 7 Why you should say no to Windows 8 and stick with Windows 7.

    Yeah...sure beats the monotony of working...never realised things could be so entertaining in 'Cloud Cuckoo Land'. May have to go down to the supermarket and stock up on 'Reality' pills.

    Windows 7 Why you should say no to Windows 8 and stick with Windows 7.

    If you are going to ban people for trying to get rid of this troll then you had better ban everyone such as me who agree with Drews sentiments but have not wasted time responding. The woman is a fool with no cogent or valid argument...just a lot of absolute arrant nonsense. I would be the...

    Windows 7 Disappearing New Partition Part 2

    I hope there is whs....but disappear they do, as in if you can't access them they are gone, and I very much doubt there is any program in the start menu with the permissions to delete a partition...if there were it would be chaos across the board in computer land. Saltgrass...unfortunately...
