It’s Time to Buy a Mac

Posted on July 14, 2005 by dan

When Windows XP asks permission to format itself it’s time to put Windows out of it’s misery and buy a Mac. This is a real, honest-to-God error message in WinXP SP2. Click on the photo to enlarge.

It was so very very hard not to laugh while my boss was standing over my shoulder when I was trying to fix this ‘problem’. After some hunting and diagnosing it turns out that it’s most likely physical hard-drive errors that are causing this message.

    This is not very hard to do, you can install Windows on a hard drive that is the D drive and the C drive can be used for storage. Lame.

    So you have a hardware error and you blame Windows XP for it? Lame.

    for the record Windows was installed on Drive C.
    Who ever can’t see the humor in the computer wanting to format itself is taking this all too seriously

    Who would have guess a simple post like this would draw even a drop of ire? I write much more inflammatory articles on here.

    Like Steve and Dan said…its just a funny error message. Leave Dan alone!
