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.

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.

When you want it, there's still plenty more on the internet. AFAIK no one is getting rid of that stuff any time soon.

Enjoy the new hard drive space.

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.

I read the first line, I just happened to understand it better than you do. Until you know what happens when a drive is formatted don't lip off.

I have maybe 25MB of jpegs saved. That's about it.

 

[StinkyPinky]

I have no porn. Don't miss it. I used to have about 200 DVD's of the shit, each chock full of a dozen movies. From a friend who lent it to me and I never gave it back.

Actually it's probably still around now that i think about it. For my wife to find. Lurking in a box somewhere. Holy fuck!

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.

I do, and I will lip off, because you are my bitch and you will take it. Slut.


Yes, not all of the bits get flipped to zero when you format, but more than enough. And installing a new OS from scratch on top of that will wipe out most everything else.

When I was in the Navy I got stationed at a NATO comm center in Iceland. I worked on recievers, routers, multiplexers, and basic cryptos. Eventually I found myself carrying the title of security officer. Much of my job as an Electronics Technician consisted of sanitizing computers when they were no longer to be used for secret or top secret work. We went through many procedures to take care of the hard drives and after a few years an instruction came out saying they were to be incinerated. The incinerator was several miles off base and in the middle of an Icelandic winter you dont make that trip without a damn good reason.
Up to that point we had just been formatting the hard drives and then using a government utility to wipe with all 0's, then all 1's, then a random number. We often questioned how essential even that procedure was, since it took a REALLY long time, especially when you had many drives.

Sent a letter back to the base security people asking if it was really important to incinerate. They said "yes" and they could easily read files off a drive that had only been wiped. We didnt believe them and we called them out. They said bring a few drives over and they would show us. I ripped several CD ISO's and placed them on the drive, along with a handful of divx rips from some DVD's, then I formatted it and installed Windows and didnt do anything else. We took the hard drives over to the base IT security (following carrying procedures and two-man integrity compliant with Top Secret material transport) and handed them. Left for the day because they told us that while it was an effective procedure, it was not very fast at all.

Called back several days later and asked if they found anything.
They did not.

No ISO's, no movies, and only a smattering of misc. files leftover from the previous OS installation, and they could only verify that by imaging the current OS installation. These were IT security men working for the DoD at a base filled with F-18's and top secret comm circuits and they found shit. And we hadnt even done the official government sanctioned hard drive wipe.

So why dont you tell me buddy, when you were a security officer at a NATO radio center what did you learn about data found on hard drives?

Where are you from? 1997?

 

[BladeVenom]

ASCII porn FTW!

Good for you for purging your life, always better to find a real woman than waste your time with virtual ones.

I never understand why people have tons and tons of porn storage. Sick bastards.

Plus, there is so much new porn and things progress... why keep the old stuff. Are you one of those that like the vintage stuff from the 70's where you can't see what's going on because of all the pubes in the way?

 

[meltdown75]

you're better off.

hit up tube8 or pornhub. no one needs a porn collection anymore.

this happened for a reason.

 

[nageov3t]

and this, friends, is why you don't put anything worth keeping on your OS partition.

I ran into an incident years back where my OS crashed and I had to reformat from scratch and lost everything on the C drive. ever since then, the only thing I keep on my OS partition is the operating system itself and random applications (but not games). anything long-term that I'd want to keep is stored on a separate raid1 array.

storage is so cheap, it's like why not? I haven't downloaded porn in a long time and I have a ton of files that I haven't opened in years, but I don't see a compelling reason to delete them.
