Warning: Nerdy Material Ahead
Yesterday morning, it was cold and foggy. The type of morning to sit inside by the fire. By 1 PM it was still foggy – something I’ve not seen before here.
I decided to try out the shiny new Windows Vista and use my brand spanking new DVD burner (which supports +R, -R, +RW, -RW, +R DL, -R DL etc…) to make my nerdy side happy. (no, developing this website doesn’t count as nerdy)
So after leeching 3.2 GB over my internet connection – a 18 hour marathon of excitement and fun – I discovered that either my DVD drive is writing crap to the discs or the Vista ISO had corrupted in the download.
Of the four DVD’s I have burned today; one has been coasterised, two wont read in the other computer and the fourth holds a copy of Windows Vista which happily returns the error message ’80070241′ – possibly the clearest error message Microsoft have ever invented. At least it has a rhythm to it.
Update: I’ve discovered that the other computer will only read DVD+R disks. And I’m still not running Vista
