But like that rash, he keeps coming back. I have taken the route of NEVER answering anything of his, no mater how much he insults or provokes. Anything over the lien gets reported and that is it.

This is were you went wrong. Windows is fine, especially from a user point of view it is far better than linux, but that´s a useless discussion right know. (les gouts et les couleur ne se dispute pas). But it is a fact that Windows is very lousy in "upgrading", choose a fresh install next time :-D .

I learned that the hard way a while ago. I now divide my disk into 2 partitions; one for the OS and one for data. Then when I need to install a new version of the OS I just overwrite the OS partition with a clean install and all my data is still available.

There was another account of the Fat/Eric/Boy line that surprisingly was nuked. Erudite Eric started off being normal but slowly slipped back into his old tricks and has now been zapped. Watch this space for Erudite Boy.

Mine is also partitioned, but I do use "My Documents" - I just move it to the D: drive. It's handy, because there are shortcuts to it, apps expect it to work, and it provides a single place for app data (that I created and that apps create without telling me) that can be located and backed up frequently. Works for me!

Yeah that's what I do also or at least 2 anyway. With the new TB disks I have mine divided up further. I just got up and haven't even had my coffee yet what did I miss? Did he get banned again?

So Vista doesn't work, so I chuck in a Win7 DVD, and run it. I chose upgrade. It says, go to this link and download SP1 first. I go to that link, and IE tells me I need to upgrade IE. I really fucking hate Windows and MSFT. All they produce is shit.
I'm running Linux (Fedora) and hosting different other OSes (ubuntu server, windows). I'm using VirtualBox Seeamless Mode to run only the application I need from Windows, so I never see the OS :)

I had three but lately combined the two data partitions into one. Got tired of looking in two places for things.
