My connection is too slow to render g.ho.st useful. I like the idea, though.

I should take pictures of my new job and submit. It's not all I.T. wiring, but equally harrowing in places.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I got my desktop computer back from MicroCenter and my data is secure! And it works! And so on...

Except that I used to have a 640Gb hard drive partitioned into two equal size drives of ~320Gb... and now I only seem to see one ~320Gb (which shows 288Gb in Windows Explorer, but IIRC that's normal).

My question is... is this something that I can fix here at home, or had I better get on the horn back to MicroCenter and start complaining pronto?

I keep thinking there should be something deep in the Control Panel that will fix it with a couple clicks. But if nobody here knows that offhand (given the Buffista general level of expertise), I KNOW I'm DOOMED to probably have to take the Damnthing back, a day after I got it home again.

SIGH

This is one reason I'm a tiny bit bummed I've been promoted from Crew Lead to Associate Designer for Halloween this year -- my crew's cable runs looked better than everybody else's. The higher-ups even said as much.

Of course, we burned through probably three times the zip ties of any other team in order to make that happen....

Was there data on the second partition? If not, you should take a look in Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Disc management And see if there's a partition that's not active.

If there was data on the second partition, then go straight back to MicroCenter.
