Memory Stick Blues |12:59 PM| Yesterday I was attempting to install Windows XP onto a memory stick and ZZZZZZ SNOORE booooring. Stick with me here.
Installing windows on memory stick is fairly tricky, there's the disk format and the boot sector and a bunch of other esoteric crap that descriptions of are not pertinent.
What was driving me crazy was how nothing was consistent, at all.
I'd follow the procedure to the letter, reformat the memory stick, use the utilities, and then hope I'd see this:
Or, later on, this:
But what I usually saw was this:
Every. Damn. Time.
Oh, sorry, sometimes I'd be met with just a black screen that said
BOOT ERROR
Thanks guys. This carried on through out the day. I'd make a change during a break in work, reload the stick, and then....
Damn.
What if I inject new mass storage drivers?
BOOT ERROR
Shit. Okay, what about changing the file system?
Fuck.
Alright, what about....THIS
FUCK. Howabout THAT
FUCK FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK WEASELS
Okay, I'll totally rebuild the image from a non OEM disk
mother of FUCKING GOD FUCK RAG ASS POUNDING
I think I'm beginning to see shit. Alright, I'll totally rebuild the image, inject the drivers, change out the file system aaaand:
Alright. I'll do exactly the same thing I did in the first step.
What. WHAT. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT WHY YOU FUCKING FUCK.
I took the memory stick over to a friend's house to have it wiped and its contents replaced with graphic art tutorials. Screw I.T. I'm going to go make pretty pretty pictures for a living.

It is neato. But the "add a module" (As in, an application that it isn't already built to use) section is written in sumerian or something, I can't understand a damn bit of it.
GOD VISTA SUCKS SO MUCH
