how's the Brassica blind going?.......

Brassica (pronounced /ˈbræsɨkə/ brás-si-ca) is a genus of plants in the mustard family (Brassicaceae). The members of the genus may be collectively known either as cabbages, or as mustards. Crops from this genus are sometimes called cole crops, which is derived from the Latin caulis, meaning cabbage. *edit {Caulis in starkerese means fart}

Uvah...sydney has the sharpest wit I've yet encountered on WC.... might also be referring to the sheer Brass one needs to make such a skin 

I'm trying to shrink the start menu's footprint.

I have three words for you.

Eee ew ww!

starkers had a major PC issue.... primary OS drive died and took my media files and skin files partitions with it. I can easily replace the media files by re-ripping my CD's, but all my skin files are another story and many may have to be redownloaded if my mate at the PC store can't recover them.... fortunately quite a few are still on my secondary OS, but not all were installed/stored there, so I will have to redownload some if Pat can't retrieve them.

What a shit of a thing to have happen... and just before I could back everything up on the external as well!  There were no warning signs (whirring sounds or thrashing, etc), either.  Yeah, I got a call from my PC store to say my 500gig SATA drive had come in for my new external case, so I shut down and took off to pick up my new  HDD... when I got back I assembled the external, plugged it it and booted up... no go, no OS... the bootmanager was missing... and BIOS wasn't detecting the drive.

Anyhow, I opened up the case, tried reseating the connections, etc... still no go. I then tried several Sata ribbons and power connectors... still no go, so then I tried the 3 other SATA ports on the mobo... still no go.  I could only conclude, therefore, my HDD had died, which is a right royal pain in the arse, not only cos it's less than 8 months old, but that I had to pilfer the one from the external case to reinstall my primary OS, meaning I have to get another for my external backups.

Did I mention that I'm totally pissed that this had to happen (losing all my skins and music files) just prior to (like by just a few moments) to having my external ready to back them up!!!!  Damn, despite making a backup in my skins folder, I even lost a lot of my Impulse backups as well.  Fortunately, however, I had a few but not all archived on my secondary OS so didn't have to redownload all my SD apps.

Effing computers, and I've spent the last 2 days reconfiguring my rig and installing the OS/proggies, etc.  Still haven't finished, but I figured a break here for a while was in order, though I will have to get back into it shortly if I want to get it all set up before Monday morning (Oz time), cos I got tradesmen coming to do some work on the place and the power will have to be off for some of it.

Didn't you know, sydney, starker/curried cabbage barks leave no skidmarks.... no undies, either.

     Because they was totally evaporated along with the HDD when a rogue starkerbark struck broadside and nearly sunked the ship. Fortunately it was above the skidmark line, hense no leavebehind telltales, and all was saveded. 'Cept of course the HDD. It had to be forwarded to the big granite mountain in Utah for safe burial and the shipping costs was gastronomical.

     Hope your rig comes along none the worse for wear starkers. I know what it's like to be without. I'll leave a prayer for you in the 'Puter god's inbox. He may be a bit busy so don't fret if it takes a while for him to answer. His rig suffered a meltdown when the starkerbark ric...ric...bounced of your's and banged into his.

     E-bay's runnin' a sale on undies, unshaded of course, all in designer greenish/brown. $0.997 after walkin rebates

Told you

I meant somewhere else....sorry.

Western Digital has a good rep... maybe go with them? Naaah...you're not mad, Hatter starkers. 

I'm just remembering my wonderful experience with my laptop and how crazy crazier it made me. 

I'm not sure if this will help since you are unable to see yours in CMOS but there is a known issue with Seagate drives that causes a boot manager missing issue.

There is supposed to be a patch you can run that fixes it. I didn't have any luck recovering my data when I used it a while back but I heard that some were able to.

You may want to search Google or Seagate to see if you can find the fix and see if it's your model that it fixes.
