windows – Shannon Kay

okay, brace yourselves. A few months ago, as some of you might recall, I got a new CPU; the shiny new AMD Athlon 64 3200. Just today, I read the greatest headline;
Microsoft Launches Beta for Windows® XP 64-Bit Edition. AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Compatible
This is totally great. I am looking into it right now, but I am just giddy! I’m looking into trying the free 360 day trial(okay, that’s like a year.) right now.

Windows® XP 64-Bit Edition is designed to address the most demanding needs of technical workstation users who require large amounts of memory and floating point performance in areas such as mechanical design and analysis, digital content creation and scientific and high-performance computing applications. Windows XP 64-Bit Edition for 64-Bit Extended Systems is only compatible with AMD Opteron™– and AMD Athlon™ 64 processor-based computers.

My aunt bought Windows XP for her computer. I had agreed to go over to her place this morning around 10:00 and install it for her. I thought that this would be easy since I’ve installed Windows XP at least 10 times. Is it really possible to be sore from a computer upgrade?
I went over there all ready to do the install and get things set up. She had one old hard drive which was her boot drive and was only like 7 or 12 GB and another newer 60gb drive installed as the slave. I thought that the old drive would be too old and small, and so I decided I would just install it on the 60gb and set up the old one as a slave so she could get her files off of it.
You’ve probably figured out from the title that this did not go quite as planned.
