You do realize, don't you, that your ramblings make little or no sense?

The system recovery program uses a special recovery partition on the hard
disk that stores an image of the original software. Note: The system
recovery image is in a partition area of the hard drivew; this disk space is
not available for your use. (page 81, hp).
I actually remember the amount of space that was in that partition it was
well 6.76gb on D: and there was 69 available because i had an 80 gigabyte
samsung that came with it, rpms of 5400, and with C: being what it was it
did add up to 80. However, my computer i have now actualy doesnt count like
that it uses bits i believe so my 250gigabyte is 232, actually i am wrong,
there has to be 250 bits and well it was sold as 250gb and it reads as 232,
but the samsung didnt read it the same as the western digital. I do know
that there are 8 bits per 1 byte, 2 bytes per word, and 16bits in a word so
forth. Oh it is because it counts by 1024 i think, yep indeed same thing.
Yeah i can count in binary, 0, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, simple,
0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E.F,
FFF what does that mean?
15x16x16+15x16+15x1=4095, pretty simple math actually
111111111111
1x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2+

ROFLMAO, Isn't that what I said was on the D drive? Too, too, funny. You
always get wound up this easy?
 
Computer use Ki, Mi, and Gi which are 2^10, 2^20, and 2^30. Hard drive manufacturers use K, M, and G which are 10^3, 10^6, and 10^9 respectively. They roughly approximate each other. Ki and friends hadn't been invented when windows was born so Windows uses K to mean Ki.
 
Now, that is actually over my head. and my apologies for the language.
sometimes i guess i may get wound up, especially on topics of economics
slash politics. I am a capitalist, but not 100% either. Yeah on D the
restore files are put on that partition. It was a pain in the ass to have
to use all 8 cds to install if something was bad with itr on D. What is
that below?

At any rate, one can have multiple hardrives and have the same operating
system work on both and have it that way working just fine, that is the
point. Microsoft has told me on many occasions ONE COMPUTER not install and
i will call them again. Granted as the person who said of my ramblings,
yeah my typing is fast and often their is less inhibition with what you type
rather than what you would state verbally. The point i made is the oem i had
had the issues that made me reinstall the windows, on my own b uilds i have
nt had the same problems that i have had on my former HP. And what the hell
is the point of stating someone is not seeing correctly? I reinstalled the
windows several times on the hp and it literally stated what it was doing
during install, you dont have to be an expert. So as the useless rambling,
it is kind of both ways. And wasnt the point anyway.
There are good things about having more than one hardrive, i used to
wonder why people had more than one, but now i can see how useful it is. I
didnt get my hardrives intentionally, i had to rma the one hardrive i had
and couldnt go without the drive so long so i got another one that is how i
came to having more than one. YOu all have a great day, even the greedy one
who is stating all of the microsoft personall i have spoke to on the phone
are wrong by saying one computer and trying to boost thy sales of Microsoft
by stating liscence per install rather than per computer. The EULA states
liscence per cpu. But, you got to love language you can interpret it in
your way.
 
2^10 = 1 024 = 1 KiByte
10^3 = 1 000 = 1 KByte

2^20 = 1 048 576 = 1 MiByte (1 KiByte * 1 KiByte)
10^6 = 1 000 000 = I MByte (1 KByte * 1 KByte)

ditto for gigs

I have never encountered anyone as oblivious as you seem to be with your
replies. Especially to Ron Bogart who you call the Greedy one. He did not
tell you anything that others had not said in previous posts. It is amazing
how someone who seems to actually have some intelligence can be so dumb. I
guess common sense is not universally included in real day to day intellect.
But thank you for some of the best laughs I have had in a while, and I wish
you well in your quests.

Have a friggen good day, 8~^)
 
I read his quote as 'one install' rather than 'oen computer' there is a
difference there between the two. I should not have stated what i have
stated i dont know him and i apologized for that already. But, one can see
how one install and one computer can mean different things. Especially
financially. I may have reacted a little negatively to his stating about my
needing to go back to the dark in his defense of how an os cant get
installed twice on same computer on liscence.
Thanks for the compliments, but i am not all that intelligent, i just
get a little too interested in the philosophical side when it comes to
economics. I am not an antimicrosoft, they actually have not done me wrong.
They sent me another cd for warranty so i can't say that they do not have
customer in mind. But, one can look at how monopolies are unconstitutional
for a reason, competition has a function for the customer. If there is no
or hardly any competition a company can tell the customer per install not
per computer and the customer has no say in it, that is precisely teh point.
It is not that microsoft or other corporates are at disadvantage, the
customer is. It is true that under 10% of our country holds the wealth and
that trickle down theory is bs it doesnt work, it has been shown that the
rich do not spend their money in the fashion Reagan thought it would.
 
Good job, David in lightening the tension in this thread.

Language is vital in any communication. Often people do not realize the
tension that is influenced by how words are used. For example, i did state
explicitly what i did when i spoke to the microsoft agent explicitly. So,
when someone states otherwise, that is implying that I am a liar, and not
only that, it is implying that i fraud people which i do not do.
 
But i think dual boot is different from using software such as betwin
because u cant use both os's at the same time!
 
It is true on a dual-boot system that I cannot use both operating systems at
the same time but I do not need this for my line of work. Thanks for the
comment.

If you were to read the End-User License Agreeement, I believe that you will
need to get another license for the second Home installation.

As for multi-boot, look at System Commander from VCOM.
 
He may/can only RUN one copy at a time and be in compliance, ergo he can
INSTALL as many copies on his harddrives as he has room for.

The EULA is wooly, and it can be argued that installing once and then
cloning the partition as another partition is within it
 
Thanks Alex. Is it usually okay when you buy a program to use it on both
operating systems in one computer or must one purchase two licenses. I
appreciate your help.
