I like how everyone ignores that MS's wonderful installer gives him the exact same option twice. So either the installer is fucking stupid, or it somehow is reading two of his drives as identical volumes and assigning them the same volume number.

If it's the latter, he's going to have all kinds of fun data loss in the not-so-terribly-far future.

You must have me blocked, because I've repeatedly said that this is the point of the guy's comment, and said that Microsoft very severely dropped the ball here.

My bad, missed that.

Creston

Oh. I genuinely figured you'd blocked me, which would have been kind of funny because I feel like I respond to you often.

But yeah, we agree - this was Microsoft messing something up. Even if other people are claiming it was super easy, in this guy's case something went wrong in a place it absolutely should not.
