Dear lord I've finally done it!

[shortylickens]

In preperation for Windows 7 I wiped everything useless from my system. 10,000 pics and 250GB worth of videos.
A whole lifetime of porn gone in just 10 minutes.

I damn sure hope you guys got everything you like from my Picasa page, cuz everything else is gone for good. All thats left is family photos and game files (patches, mods, etc.)
Amazing how big My Documents can get when stuffed with smut. All thats left is about 2GB.


I think I'm gonna cry.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

The porn is still there, you can get it back when you change your mind

 

[mesthead21]

Wow.

 

[gorcorps]

I did the same recently. All I had left was my music. It felt really weird to have all that space.

 

[TridenT]

Weird... I never did that because I am not a porn freak.

 

[PottedMeat]

Porn is NOT useless you fool.

And yeah, if it was ever on the internet, it's still there - ready to be reclaimed.

 

[Krynj]

I just formatted today, but I always backup important stuff to one of my other HDDs.

 

[Jeff7]

I foresee a large spike in shortylickens' Internet usage in the near future.

I dont think you read the first line.
I wiped my system to put on Windows 7, because you cant just upgrade from XP.
Its GONE man, when it gets formatted prior to installation it will all be gone. Windows will overwrite more than enough to make CIA-style recovery a ridiculous task.


As for the other issue, NOT all of it was found from the traditional internet, i.e. web-based.
Much of it was private Direct Connect hubs which have since disappeared.
I'm sure somebody SOMEWHERE in the world has a copy, but the odds of me connecting with them are so tiny as to be immeasureable.


If anyone is wondering "WHY?" :
I didnt want to copy over 300GB or more to my other computer by way of ethernet. I would lose my mind. And I dont have any external drives except for flash drives, and those only total to about 20 GB. I'll need that for essential crap.
Didnt want to spend money on an external hard drive or gigabit routers and cards because I want to save money. Got windows 7 for 20 bucks thanks to ACM. Cant afford to piss away tons of cash on fancy hardware.

But then it doesn't fully reformat the HDD, which one of the pros of installing a new OS is a completely clean and ordered HDD.

I'm sure someone here would've been willing to loan you a hard drive, assuming of course you wouldn't delete anything from it before returning it.
Don't worry, no one will say a word about your fetish for Nazi kittens in leather.

No actually you cant. At least not with the version I downloaded. It stated many times during installation you can NOT upgrade from XP.

Perhaps you got a super secret awesome version, but mine is just the legal Win 7 pro x64 DVD. It didnt even find a previous installation when I booted up the disc. And when I tried running it from within Windows XP, it refused, saying SETUP.EXE was not a valid win32 executable, which is true.

[Anubis]

people actually keep porn on their computers?

 

[Crono]

I thought this was going to be a new "lifer" thread.

 

[Arcadio]

I usually don't delete porn. There are videos in my collection from about 10 years ago when porn came in bad pixelation and a size of 160 x 120 pixels.

Upgrade to vista then upgrade to windows 7?


Also real men just stream porn, downloading it is stupid.

I'm not gonna pay for Vista when I got 7 for practically nothing.

I agree that keeping hundreds of gigs of smut is silly. In the end this is probably better for me.

It wouldn't have taken that long. You should have just let it run overnight.

 

[n7]

Huge HDDs are cheap.
