    It has to be pretty shitty to not allow windowing.

    I decided to play with Partition Magic and killed my install of Windows. Oh well, time to ditch the IDE HDD.

    You're bad at partitioning, apparently. if you only have one drive, then you have to resize your Windows partition before you do any other operations. if you delete a partition, you're fucked. If you resize too small, you're fucked. If you convert a partition with data on it, you're fucked. Other than that stuff, PM8 is pretty straightforward.

    Said that disk0 had 3 errors on it regarding its LBA, so I repaired them, tried fucking about with disk1 (640GB SATA) to make it appear in Windows, wasn't successful. Restarted, Windows wouldn't load. Assumed it was down to repairing the LBA errors. They were probably not real.

    Yeah... I tend to not repair any errors that Windows doesn't catch on its own. If the OS doesn't see them, they're not affecting the OS.

    By the way, that SATA drive isn't first in your boot priority, is it? Because if it is...

    I took the IDE drive out now. Got Windows on the 640 WD Blue, use the 500GB WD Green for general storage and whatnot.

    Speaking of hard drives, I gave up trying to get the Wii to recognize my 120GB external. I just reformatted it to NTFS and use it to store all my Wii WBFS games. Right now I only have 28GB of Wii games, and I have 24GB of flash drives (one 8 and one 16), so I've got pretty much anything worth playing already covered.

    You found 24GB of Wii games worth playing? I'm impressed.

    This, pretty much. lol.

    Also, my father in law gave me an 8gb church key. Why did he give me this bottle opener? Because I showed him that I can open a bottle with my wedding ring. SWAG.
