Need to discuss payware disaster recovery in this NG

If those links are expecting a certain file path to be followed then
yes.

You really are a compete waste of DNA, aren't you?
When people write linked html documents that are likely to be moved
around ( i.e. they exist on drives rather than on the 'web' ) all
paths are set relative to the root document. In effect, there is no
written path - it's assumed to be " \".
For example, from the raw html from one document within the folder:
< a href="index.html">Home

Can you spot the path? No - because there isn't one as such...all
that's needed is for the associated documents to be within the same
folder. This makes the folder 'portable'.

What an utterly idiotic idea. The OS would have to quite literally rewrite
each and every HTML file it came into contact with

I guess you don't understand the concept of 'working directories' or
'open in' either.

No, It didn't work because you didn't know what the hell you were
doing.

How would you know? You've tripped up at every point along the way so
far, and in your next display of staggering ignorance you're about to
take another tumble.

*YOU MOVED* the files from the cdrom drive to another drive via your
so-called "shortcut".

So, 'move' and 'copy' aren't terms you're able to differentiate
between either. Ever tried moving a file off a CDRom?
Here's a tip, don't bother going for that sysadmin job...and when
someone says 'large fries' it's the big bucket, OK?

You *DISRUPTED THE PATH THE LINKS ASSUMED WAS THERE*,you moronic ass.

I think I've been patient enough in explaining to you a concept that
doesn't seem to trouble even the most inexperienced of computer users.
I guess I could resort to drawing ascii pictures - but instead I think
most people wouldn't think it too inappropriate to tell you to piss
off and come back when you've wised up. Should be a very long time
indeed.

GREAT!
I'm glad Partition Logic was able to change your mind about there
being no freeware solution. It was about a year ago I made the
first post here about that app, and I see from the changelog it's
had quite a few improvements since then.

You lost me.
What was there to "change my mind" about?

[Richard Steinfeld]

Oh. I see. Yes. That's where my head was at at that moment. Worse: I'd
just discovered that a commercial product, BackUp MYPC, would only make
an image clone under certain conditions.

I'll post my experience with Partition Logic soon.

You moved/changed the pointers that indicated where the files resided on the
cdrom to god-knows-where and then bitched about your stupidity when you couldn't
figure out why things refused to work.

Your're the one who needs the clue in what something means.

Sigh...

There WAS/IS no link to any files on any cdrom. It does not exist, it
never did. Nothing pointed to any files on such a device; not on the
desktop, not in the raw html. There was never any link or shortcut or
pointers that pointed to anything on a cdrom. The folder/files could
have come from anywhere, any directory, any device - it makes no
difference at all.

And since you're so hung up on this mythical relationship with a cdrom
drive, even if you draw a shortcut directly from the files and folder
on the cdrom ( one that contains the path /media/cdrom0/... ) the
internal html links still do not work. But of course, you knew
this...right?

Print that out, take a large nail ( say four inches or more ), poke it
through the paper...then bang the whole thing into your forehead.
I promise you it won't hurt...because there's sod all in there.

Idiot. Whenever you acess a file on a cdrom,hardrive or anywhere else, you
are creating pointers telling the OS where the file resides on the device being
acessed.

You ****ed those pointers up. End Of Story.
