Yes folks, there are such things as the computer gods. If you do something to piss them off, they let you know in the not so subtle way. As us techies well know, there is no such thing as pixie dust. These problems don’t go away on their own. For example, something that should take 10 minutes ends up taking a lot longer.
Well, I must have done something to really piss of the computer gods this week. A simple sysprep (which I have done many of times) is taking a lot longer than expected. I believe I have a ATA -> SATA issue going on. I’ve experienced this before with my computer upgrade from hell last month at home. I’ve tried those tricks I learned last month and that did not make any difference.
I guess I better find out what I need to sacrafice to please the computer gods. Any ideas?
