[11:36:21] <Colourless> hi
[11:38:06] <Colourless> I officially declare Friday November 14th the first day of summer. 36 Degrees c, a spring day does not make.
[11:52:01] <servus> How bland
[12:11:49] <servus> ;-)
[12:12:00] * servus has taken up a penchant for babbling.
[13:19:36] <wjp> hi
[14:11:07] <Colourless> hi
[14:17:18] <wjp> and, uh, bye again :-)
[14:17:25] <wjp> (back in a few hours most likely)
[16:39:38] <Dominus> hi
[16:56:09] --- GigDR is now known as Dominus
[16:56:30] <Dominus> damn, had to think hard on my nickserv password
[17:05:47] <wjp> hi
[17:05:49] <Dominus> hi wjp
[17:06:14] <Dominus> not tooooo long ago I told of my unsuccessful installation of ME.
[17:06:47] <Dominus> now I failed with 98SE as well
[17:07:21] <Dominus> well it installs as did ME but it is highly unstable, much more so than it was regulary
[17:07:54] <Dominus> probably due to the 1 GB of RAM
[17:07:55] <Colourless> wb
[17:08:39] <wjp> I had some interesting adventures with w2k yesterday
[17:09:34] <wjp> its setup was claiming that "drive C is corrupted and cannot be repaired"
[17:09:49] <Dominus> and on C you have linux?
[17:09:56] <wjp> no, w98
[17:10:01] <wjp> "C" has no meaning to linux
[17:10:02] <Dominus> oh
[17:10:13] <wjp> and of course w98 doesn't seem to think its partition is corrupt :-)
[17:10:30] <wjp> so I tried hiding both my w98 partitions (by setting their partition type to something else)
[17:10:38] <wjp> after which it w2k totally refused to install
[17:10:46] <Dominus> lol
[17:10:46] <wjp> (probably because it couldn't find a place to put its bootloader)
[17:10:58] <wjp> so I gave up...
[17:11:10] <Dominus> yeah I gave up as well
[17:11:17] <wjp> but...
[17:11:53] <wjp> I googled a bit for it (google groups), and it turned out that w2k choked on ATA100
[17:12:10] <wjp> so I disabled UDMA in the bios setup for my primary master HD
[17:12:15] <wjp> and then everything magically worked...
[17:12:28] <wjp> after running the setup I could just enable it again without any problems
[17:12:44] <wjp> (total time taken: close to 3 hours... and that doesn't even include installing patches)
[17:12:48] <wjp> *sigh*
[17:12:55] <wjp> but it does work now :-)
[17:14:30] <Dominus> damn
[17:14:45] <Dominus> I'm still stuck with the highly unstable win98
[17:14:49] <Dominus> well, bbl,
[17:14:51] <Dominus> dinner
[17:35:03] --- Dominus is now known as Dominus|away
[17:40:16] --- Dominus|away is now known as Dominus
[18:22:47] <wjp> bbl, dinner
[18:23:11] <Dominus> cu
[18:55:07] <wjp> back
[18:55:22] <Dominus> wb
[18:56:20] <wjp> thanks :-)
