anyway, I just bought a new HDD last night. 120gig WD w/ 8mb cache. AMAZING HDD. I was able to format it and install Windows XP in a whopping 7 minutes.

Yikes Wardrich!   That's almost like a RAM drive! How much did it cost?
Maybe if that hard drive was in a Pentium MMX, that PMMX might be faster than a Pentium II (of course, the 8.4 GB limit, you can still use that drive, but not all of its space) |

Um... no. Just no.
1) They do nt always work for XP. The ones we have, and every one i've seen and used so far has needed drivers in XP.
2) I use Windows 2000, dual booted withe Windows 2003 Server. |

And back to the old question:
Why should I spend so much money and time and sacrifice so much compatibility to get one of those pocket HDDs to work when I can get better storage options on floppy's for half the price? |

I'm thinking there may have been a glitch in the timer, but I do know FOR SURE that it took under 20 minutes. The HDD was about $133 (can).

Buddy, what are you talking about? You just said it worked for XP. Make up your mind.

| Show me a six year old who'd be truely scared by hearing the word "fuck." Swear words are rude, and might teach younger readers bad manners, but they're hardly going to hurt anyone here. (And yes, cussing is mentioned in the rules) |

I aint scared of the word or term fuck but imagine a mindless six year old going up to his mum after being on a forum and said 'Fuck you' to her..
Would she be impressed.. Thus darren may get in trouble for that |

I'd be surprised if a six year old could USE this forum, let alone read it. Besides COPPA a day keeps the infants away.
Hum, i'm sure a 6 year old would use proper english and punctuation better than you would tho.
