So I thought it would be bloody brilliant to write zeros to my hard drive. I was having issue that no one in any hardware nor software support could help me with. So, I set about my task. My computer told me it would take 3 hours. 8 1/2 hours later, it finished. Then it said I should check for errors, and I thought, 18 minutes? No sweat. 55 minutes later...

I didn't raise my computer that way, I hate liars. Perhaps a good toss out the window will teach it.

HAHA. About as bad as doing updates on my work computer. Nice 9.6-14.4 dial up connection. Especially liked the IE6.0 update..OMFG that took forever.

The suck thing is that I have a 7200 RPM hard drive, and a gig processor. You'd think that what it told me would have been a *leeeetle* closer to the truth. Course it did have 40 gigs to write, but still, the liar!
