Hmmm.... I seem to remember that he played in a movie called "Grumpy Old Men"...

(I was hoping no one would remember that) blushing

grumpy,
Did you identify the cause of the boot problem?

Re: "The survivors"

Put in a new WD hard drive - Windows wouldn't install because it seems the DVD drive has gone flaky, so i downloaded WIN7 w/ SP1 (there's a great article about this here):
http://www.pcmech.com/article/can-you-downloa...you-have-a-legal-license/
and installed via a USB key
Microsoft has a tool for making a USB key bootable here:

everything is back to normal biggrin

Re: "The survivors"

Very interesting.
Of course, when you speak of "normal" that has a special meaning when referring to Microsoft.
The DVD drive is probably the cheapest component to replace but that is small consolation.
I had some problems a while back with file corruption.
I decided I would rather go to the dentist than do a Windows repair or clean install.
So I went to the dentist but my computer was still broke.
Doing repair and clean installs is not fun.
And then there are the endless updates.

Re: "The survivors"

Picked up 9 Betas for CFSW.
They can't be very big as the estimated time on an i7 is 00:33:23.
But then an AMD Phenom X4 830 shows an estimated time of 06:40:16.

Re: "The survivors"

The actual CPU time on the CFSW Betas was
0.65-0.68 hours on the i7
0.78 hours for the Phenom II X4 830.
The estimated time for the AMD was off by about 6 hours.
I have learned not to trust the BOINC Manager Remaining (Estimated) times because they are often inaccurate.

Re: "The survivors"

I got one on my i7, ran in .7 hours. I got 2 on my slow 2GHz Intel laptop, and they ran in around 1.3 hours. Don't even know what the estimates were because they came and went before I even noticed them. biggrin
