So my 4 y.o. Solid State (System) Drive died, and I had to reinstall Windows cause somehow my backup [View all]

got corrupted (on my USB HD) ... it was a 9 y.o. freaking install ... man am I missing it ... that's a LOT of installed programs (esp. games ... over 100 counting my Steam library ... although the Program Files folder containing these games was on a separate spinner, a lot of 'em are likely to need to be D/L'ed again and re-installed, or just reinstalled if I have the files or discs) to deal with.

Not to mention I'm a super-picky computer nerd, there's TONS of settings and tweaks I've done ... all lost. It's gonna take me weeks ...

Anyways ... so I had to temporarily reinstall Windows to a extra spinner and wait for my Newegg-ordered SSD to arrive over the last week or so, and MAN ... it is ROUGH going back to a HD from an SSD for your Boot drive.

Ya ever tried it? FREAKING HELL you forget how slow they are!!!

Anyways, I imaged my new install, and it's in the process of restoring to my new 1TB SSD via Macrium Reflect (awesome free BU software, btw) ... I cannot WAIT to boot up on this f***** instead of the old Raptor X 150GB windows is on the last week
