Looking good. A small technicality is that a CD/DVD disc is spelled Disc as opposed to Disk. The word Disk being used to refer to such things as a hard drive and disc being used to refer to such things as a CD/DVD or those round things one uses when plowing up the fields. That one comes from Arthur A Collins who was unhappy when some of his engineers spelled disk as disc. He pointed out to them that disc was used when plowing. Ah, the good ol' days of Collins Radio.
Has anyone had an opportunity to, by relying only upon the tutorial, to test drive the tutorial? Better that one of us goes first.
Ah yes,
now I remember what I was forgetting to mention, namely, some statement to the effect to use the drive letter of their system partition which could possibly be a drive letter other than C. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Satellite S875D-S7239 laptop OS MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit CPU AMD A10-4600M Motherboard AMD Pumori (Socket FT1) Memory 6.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-12-28) Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 7660G Sound Card High Definition Audio Device Monitor(s) Displays Generic PnP Monitor (1600x900@60Hz) Screen Resolution 1600x900@60Hz Keyboard Standard PS/2 Keyboard Mouse HP Wireless Optical Mobile Mouse Model FHA-3410 Hard Drives SSD 119GB Corsair CSSD-V128GB2 ATA Device Internet Speed What the local pub, local coffee shop offers.
