Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview ruined my life

^ works for Fox News. Found out Gates is a Democrat.

You're an idiot. I am a proud democrat, and I wouldn't accept a job at Fox News even if my life depended on it.

Then you might as well close this thread if you are not going to bother or use Win8 or 8.1 ever again so problem solved

I can't close this thread, I'm not an admin here. But any moderator that reads this, feel free to close it, I'm fed up with all these morons so I'm going to keep reinstalling Windows 7 and then get some work done.

Oh look another Win8 hate thread...color me suprised. This thread reeks of a pebkac error.

Sebaz I'm wondering if you had a spare SATA HDD why did you have to even have the HDD with the Windows 7 installation even connected to the machine when you installed the 8.1 preview. That's what it sounds like. Did I read your post incorrectly?

The fact that it's a preview (and might have bugs still) would indicate that taking precautions like making sure a working OS installation isn't connected to the machine that you're installing a preview OS onto is a good idea.

One thing you could have done was to partition the spare drive and put whatever data you needed to have on the new OS installation onto the 2nd partition of that drive and install Win8 onto the primary partition... while having the drive with the Win 7 OS completely separate from the machine.

then if you wanted to go back shut down the machine take out the Win8 OS drive and put the Win 7 drive back into the machine.


Feel free to disregard this post if in fact you didn't install Windows 8 while the Windows 7 drive was still in the machine.

I made a huge mistake. Three actually. The first was to think that a POS OS like Windows 8 was going to get better after one revision. The second one was to install it. The third one was to post in this forum thinking that I was going to find intelligent and knowledgeable users as opposed to the herd of condescending idiots that will use whatever crap Microsoft throws at them, not really different from all those Mac zealots.

Your posts are aggresive, that's why no one wants to Help.

Add on that you blame a product for your own incompetence and its not hard to understand why everyone here isn't taking a liking to you.
