Time to clone my HDD? in Desktops ·
I managed to get Windows 7 installed.

I have to admit, I messed up by not reading the prompts more carefully... When the installer asked for drivers, it was actually looking for the DVD-ROM drivers.
I sorted it out by plugging in an external DVD drive, and the installation went perfectly fine after that.😁

Will there be any issues since I have Windows 7 installed on two different PCs? Also, will I be able to run the upgrade to Windows 10 on this new machine later?

Run Speccy (https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download) to see which motherboard we're actually dealing with.

But how am I supposed to install software if I don't have Windows installed?

I checked again. The board is clearly labeled HP, and the whole machine is an HP build.

fadedorca66 said:You’re going to need to give us more specifics—like the exact configuration, especially the motherboard model.

It’s likely looking for SATA drivers.

Motherboard is Micron, RAM 2 X2 GB, Intel only processor.

Just a heads-up: this machine belonged to a corporation, and they wiped everything off the HDD and uninstalled all software.

I've already moved from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on my old HDD.

I tried installing an original version of Windows 7 onto a new HDD using a DVD, but I'm getting stuck because it's asking for drivers. I assumed they would be included on the installation disc. Now I can't move forward with the setup. Any advice on how to proceed?

I’ve got an old machine from about six years ago, and I just picked up a three-year-old replacement. It’s got more RAM and a faster processor, but it doesn't have macOS installed.

If I pull the hard drive out of my old computer and swap it into the new one—to save myself the headache of reinstalling macOS and all those various 😁 programs—would that actually work?

Thanks

Man, that's good... I should put that on a t-shirt.😁
What a disaster it would be for the game of handball if Mexico won...
I mean, seriously, it can’t always be about drama, constant friction, ego trips, insults, threats, or this whole "star wars" nonsense...
Kudos to the water polo team and Djokovic; those guys actually stick to their sport and win. But these jokers just let down everything we stand for (by the way, I still remember some relatives from Index who were rooting for them).

A disorganized mess with a terrible repertoire—that’s my first thought when I think of them. How are they supposed to step onto the world stage with music like that? Bregovic and Nemanja 😁 knew how to package and sell talent much better than this...

Shout out to our guys for showing what they're made of at the awards ceremony 🙂😂
Of course, VrangeL_1917, Friday stings when you see exactly who we dropped the ball to...

But today feels a lot lighter, honestly... Mostly because those neighbors of ours wouldn't have survived a single day if they had actually managed to pull off a win...
How am I supposed to expect a win tomorrow when it's obvious they're mentally checked out? There's clearly no cohesion there, just those inexplicable
slumps, blackouts, and lapses in concentration.
I can lead them to an early advantage and control the tempo, only to fail at finishing the opponent off. Then halftime hits, they lose their edge, and the other side catches fire.🙄😢 It’s always the same story...

To be honest, I'd rather see the Mexicans lose tomorrow than see our guys win.
The only silver lining is that we finally played in a tournament where we didn't lose to the French.
Blisters on my feet? in Health ·
I dealt with something similar. I had these blisters on the bottom that would leak fluid—plasma, whatever you want to call it—leaving my socks completely soaked, while the top part was incredibly itchy.
It wasn't a fungal issue. My doctor suspected an allergic reaction to either the dye in my shoes or perhaps some kind of adhesive...
Eventually, I figured out the culprit myself:fabric softener.
Since I stopped using it when washing my socks, the issues have vanished.
I made the mistake once of buying a detergent that already had softener built in, and the symptoms returned immediately.

This is my favorite clip from tonight’s recording. 🙂
It was obvious how much this win meant to them.
On another note, did I lose my voice for no reason tonight, or was the audio just cutting out during the broadcast? 😁

Any good Winamp alternatives? in Software ·
Both VLC Media Player and iTunes have their merits, but nothing quite touches MusicBee.

The library management is top-tier, the audio quality is excellent, and it handles everything from porting collections to generating custom covers. It connects to databases seamlessly and supports a wide range of plugins.
It’s worth checking out—just make sure you track down the right version.🙂
Best self-help books? in Psychology ·
shadowcrane192 said:I am asking because, in my experience, the impact of what I read only lingers for maybe three or four weeks. During that brief window, the brain still retains a sort of automatic recall of the material. But once those few weeks pass, the demands of real life begin to take precedence; the mind reverts to its "natural state," and whatever I have read is relegated to the background. Now, when I say "natural state," I don't necessarily mean a healthy or even a correct way of functioning—rather, I mean the way the mind is biologically predisposed to operate. It suggests that the reading hasn't truly altered my internal architecture; instead, it functioned much like a temporary pill designed to address a symptom before fading away entirely.

Then you just read the book again.
It’ll work again.
That’s how I quit smoking.
I read "The Easy Way to Stop Smoking" several times until my brain finally gave in to that "rinsing" effect. Now, I haven't touched a cigarette in eight years.🙂

What are your thoughts on Natasha Kampusch? in Psychology ·
salvador2 said:It’s a bad neighborhood by Vienna standards, obviously. But how could a kid from Vienna see it any other way? If you think that area is fine, it just means you're looking at it through a Chicago lens (maybe from somewhere like Oakland). Nothing wrong with that, I suppose.

You've got it wrong.
I live in Vienna, and I know that part of town quite well.
There is nothing bad about it.
Even if it were the worst part of the city (which it isn't), it would still be a decent place to live.

To be clear, I'm not "rooting" for Natascha or against her. I simply have no interest in letting inaccuracies slide.

Someone asked why Natascha's last name is Kampusch when neither parent shares it.
Kampusch was her mother's maiden name.

shadowowl9 said:That’s the whole point—if Natasha had been ten years old at the time, she would have been a child struggling with psychological and emotional development. A child of divorced parents living in a rough neighborhood with an unstable mother, facing various types of abuse and economic hardship.
Since you haven't experienced any of that, you can't possibly grasp her motives for such a calculated act. But darling, neither the child nor the world revolves entirely around you and your preferences.


I saw it in The Wall Street Journal for the first time—that description of it being a "rough neighborhood."
The writer clearly hasn't a clue.
Maybe you're picturing something like a neglected corner of a major US city, but you don't find neighborhoods like that in Vienna.
I realize growing up with divorced parents isn't easy, but how many kids deal with that today?
Plenty of children in Vienna live in much worse conditions than what she had in that apartment with her mother. She even had her own room.
Well-groomed hands? She wasn't working construction sites. Besides, the makeup artists at PBS made sure she looked perfectly polished for the interview.

Well, twelve-year-olds wear necklaces and bracelets all the time.
And why specifically twelve? You could have easily said sixteen or seventeen...
