System upgrades for the Angry Webmaster

Good day all. I’ve finally gotten the go ahead to upgrade the Angry Webmaster’s primary computer. I have a nice new 2 Terabyte Hybrid drive. I installed it this morning and promptly ran into issues. It isn’t that the system won’t see the drive, it does. The problem is that I keep getting an error message saying that Windows can’t run on the hardware.

After banging my head against a wall, I found a possible fix on the Seagate site. (This is a Seagate drive) It starts by saying that I should use Windows 7 with Service Pack 1. There’s just one problem with that. I have an older version without SP1. After more digging around on the Seagate support site, I found a possible fix. I need to make a change in the BIOS. Since I don’t have time for this now, I’ve put the old drive back in, viruses, Trojans and all.

The Webmaster punched up the updates to the main site then took off after threatening to commit bodily injury upon me. He’s forgotten the last time he tried that. Perhaps I should wave the chiropractor’s bill in his face…again to remind him. I’m going to give this another try tomorrow, so there might not be any blog entries. If anyone has a suggestion, feel free to drop us a line via the contact forms.

Thank you for your patience.
