ah my mean old puter

[rdfreak]

So I started a monopoly game again from Kitchen on Sunday, and from then to last night, my lovely component (aka my own dear computer) has mannaged to gain more assets than me, build at least three houses on each of them, and who's bank account will not go lower than $1500. On the other hand, most of my properties have had to be morgaged! what's up with that? I have had better luck before though! Lol
anyway, Dad installed my hard drive for me, and though it's showing up in Bios and control pannel, it is not showing up in the my computer list. I had the idea that it should be reformatted, but, how can we do that if it aint showin up? silly thing! I've since consulted with RB (who thinks he had an answer) and dad got some info from their IT people, so he's gunna come around again and help me with that again.
Got to the stop this morning and just as I got there, bus showed up; wow for the timing! I soo should be walking; weather has been good, no excuse except I'm lazy! *grr Work today was normal; L came and informed us on the latest news!
yesterday was normal! starting to get to know Home and Away more; so I am watching an hour of soaps now. still listening to old neighbours epps.
Sunday J and caity_bookworm came over; we hung here for a while then walked to Indian restaurant, filled up over some lovely chatter then walked back here again for more chatter. We all had an awesome time! :) C's a great gal! Oh, very weird behaviour from heartly; she was totally scared of Callie. and she's a smaller dog than mine! Heartly full on wouldn't walk past her or anything! Heartly's usually very playful with other guide dogs, but maybe not as playful for young Callie, (she was a very cute dog though!)
This is the first time I've been on msn (ahem .. windows live messenger) in a while and a golden_sands and I are talking about her upcoming move and her living at my place for the first month. I guess the longest I've had someone to stay is a week so it should be good for me! We get along great so no worries there at all! and we'll be doing our own thing as well as hanging together. She'll be organizing a lot of stuff and I'll be coming and going from work, so yeh! it will be good! :)
well, bout all for now.
more later.
til next time, RdFreak

reformatting a hard drive

[khoath.livejournal.com]

Here is how you reformat a hard disk; which has to be done if they are new from the factory. Ensure the disk is showing up under device manager; under disk drives. then close out of there; right click my computer and select manage. scroll down to the bottom and find disk management; once you double click that you should see all the disks in the window. Right click the one that is showing unpartitioned space and create a new partition on it. If you have trouble; call me and i'll help; I do this stuf in my sleep literally; funny story will explain one day.

actually just followed those instructions, and when I cursored down to disc mannagement, a wizzard keeps opening without me clicking on it first. it did say it is to help make a blank disc into something, (can't remember what it said now) so it sounds like it could be it, but I don't want to go ahead and assume cos I really don't know for sure and I don't want to stuff anything up. I'll talk to ya about it though.
