Hard drive magnetics

[TheGlimmerMan]

So? WTF good is it? For Christ's sake my first XT had an ST-506 Rodime
20MB (neener! mine was bigger than yours!) full height drive. It's been in
a landfill for 20 years now.

Well, since the ONLY drive offered in the XT was the 10MB Tandon, your
pathetic machine was bought LATER than mine.

SO, you are the fucking loser. I'll bet it cost you too.

Sorry, but I had mine before you had yours. You are the loser.

You should have been in a landfill for the last 20 years now.

Your mentality sure is there.

There's a name for people like you.

Just another mental illness of yours.

Everyone hoards, and no, it does not qualify as "compulsive", idiot,
unless I were going out and buying those items. What I did was collect
and keep the items *I* bought and used over the years. That is not
hoarding.

I would not expect a 20 IQ dumbfuck like you to understand the
difference though.

IF I had 20 acres and gobs of money, perhaps I would be a hoarder.

I would probably go 'round collecting the skulls of asswipes like you.

I built my own XT, Dum-dum.

The ORIGINAL XT that was offered by IBM.

**** off and die, JackWad

I built my own XT, Dum-dum.

Like I said, LONG AFTER the original was released. The Tandon 10MB
drive was the only one available at that time.

Your machine was a minimum of a year of even two after the initial
release. It's probably a clone and not an IBM XT too. Doesn't matter,
you're still a late comer.

Remember the flip lid cases?

I still have an Intel math co-processor mouse pad out in the "Computer
hoard pile".

Bwuahahahahahahaha!

The ORIGINAL XT that was offered by IBM.

I know. I had one. I also had the original Hard Drive that IBM
offered with it as an upgrade. That is the Tandon. I have a pile of
Seagate drives from subsequent machines as well.

Some people look through photo albums. I hoop up old machines, run
them, and examine the drive contents of hard drives so I can grab
something if I like it and run it in DOSBox or the like.

I have an old HP 6 pen B size plotter too. No need to get that one
out... my laser jet forgoes any nostalgic tickles in that area.

Soon enough, we'll have Dick Tracy's video wrist watches on our arms.

Folks already put pockets in their skin to smuggle things with.

Dick Tracy was a trip cartoon.

You can't fix the partition table without a good MBR. There are
partion tools that will fix the rest. At one time I saw dead hard
drives where some malware chaged the MBR. All the anti virus software
said you had to reformat the drive to repair the MBR. They were wrong.

I wouldn't expose any disk tool that relied on the executable code in
the MBR (and that's all that the MBR contains) to a virus infected disk.

 

[TheQuickBrownFox]

Whatever. I repaired several drives by giving the command: Fdisk
/MBR.

None of which had ANY other OS on them. You're an idiot, and you
couldn't handle a drive with multiple volumes if your pathetic life
depended on it.

Again, you know VERY LITTLE, if anything about the actual workings of
the hard disk, much less the volumes on it.

Everything you do is a 'cursory guess', or a cursory 'stab at it' after
'seeing' some other dumbfuck probably twice smarter than your idiot ass
doing it.

You took a stab at life and got that wrong too, dumbshit.

You have your reward.

Whatever indeed. You can't even get being a geek down right, dipshit.
