Mog	Stay away from Windows 7! It just basically formatted my server over the network because of some stupid bug, the peice of shit! -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

Jayenkai	Wowie!! On my last PC I had a Boot-Drive option in the bios screen.. hold F10, and it let you pick a drive from the menu, and that became the current primary drive. Very handy. Current PC doesn't, though.. shame. Fiddle around in Bios, and see if there's anything fun to toy with. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Stealth	Unfortunately, we sometimes forget it's a beta. Things like that is the reason it's still in beta. You can boot off two drives Anthony, try finding a tutorial on dual booting XP and Vista on separate drives. I'd find you one but I don't have the time, try this search: www.google.com/search?q=dual+boot+xp+vista+on+separate+drives -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.

Mog	I just don't understand how the hell it could do something like that. It's a sign of BAD PROGRAMMING when not even other computers on your network are safe from your shitty code. Lest we forget the other Windows 7 problem with it eating MP3s remotely... -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene

Stealth	I'll give it to you mog that someone make a serious screw up. I'm not sure how you "accidentally" make a bug that big. Everyone always preaches about backups though. I guess this is why. I'd be screwed if my computer died right now. Majorly screwed. -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.

Afr0	Lest we forget the other Windows 7 problem with it eating MP3s remotely... Knowing Microsoft's anti-piracy line, I'm not sure I'd automatically assume that's a bug... -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Mog	@Stealth: That's what im angry about, it deleted everything out of my backups folder on my server, so it's like Oh hey guess what? F- your backups. Luckily i've restored alot of it, but still - the principle stands: what if i DIDN'T have redundant backups? then i would be S.O.L. ANGER PUT FORTH TOWARDS THEE, MICROSOFT! YOU ARE MY WHITE WHALE! @Afr0: If they try to say some lame shit like that, i'll burn them down with the sheer fact that all of my MP3s are direct from CD rips, -MY- CDS. -=-=- I am Busy Mongoose - My Website Dev PC: AMD 8150-FX, 16gb Ram, GeForce GTX 680 2gb Current Project: Pyroxene
