That's the last time I mess with partitions...

Basically, I spent the entire afternoon and night trying to expand my hard drive space, failing, and needing help from Wolfen and her friend for nearly the entire time. I almost wrecked my main partition, losing everything on it. We finally managed to find a torrent of my OS, and happened to have a spare blank CD. We burned it on that, I re-installed Windows, and it turns out I can still use my old OS. I'm not messing with that again, and at least now I know that I can't expand my hard drive like I thought I could.

Wolfen, I'm very sorry about all of that. I basically caused you to stay awake all night, and I know you and Kori were getting very frustrated. I'm an idiot sometimes. It's all done now though, I promise. I could've just PMed this, but meh.

Yeah, it wasn't then, but after I got through with those programs, Wolfen offered to ask her friend for help. I accepted, and it involved me going into Linux and doing a bunch of stuff and ugh it took forever and I think I gave me and everyone involved a headache.

I'm sorry ;A; If I hadn't misunderstood that one little detail--!

Does that mean your computer is back in action?

Err, what detail?

And yeah, it's pretty much back in action now.

Yeah, speaking of computer problems... I got online to play TF2 with Storm, joined the lobby then my PC suddenly crashed. When I turned it back on, I would get this error message "Windows was unable to start properly". After trying everything I could think of, I some how managed to get into a recovery menu thanks to Storm and Polan's advice. Through that I was able to back up all my data and then reformat the entire computer so I could get back into Windows.

At the end, everything works fine (it's actually a bit faster now it seems) and I didn't lose anything... Thankfully. I'm not sure what caused it exactly, I know it wasn't TF2, I think that's what triggered the crash. The real source is unknown, I'm just going to be extra careful from now on, especially when installing PC games.

Glad to hear your computers fixed Slash! I was afraid mine was gone for good. Seriously, thank you so much Storm and Polan, don't know what I would have done without you guys!

Mine? Nothing, I just deleted a partition that had around 140 GB of space awhile back, and I thought I could get it back by trying to expand/restore it. I was mistaken. =/
