Two geeks conversation (fun)

I had a conversation with a friend today. The conversation was started when I read his current status: "Want to restart my life... a normal reset won't do it, I need a full out of box restore"

20:30 me: I think if you bought an original restore DVD, most probably you will work :P

  But you might need to change the hard

 Maged: yeah, i think i may need to change the heart

20:31 i mean the hard :D

 me: May be

  ;)

  How is life ya man

  :)

 Maged: do you think that there is a place where i can get a low level format ?

 me: ?

  This might corrupt the heart (hard)

  High risk format

20:32 It is better to replace it

 Maged: it is already corrupt ya rayes

 me: Or change the board to be able to do hot swap :P

 Maged: has lots of bad sectors that don't want to be erased or re-written

20:33 i am thinking of working from a life-CD

  and ignore the heart completely

  i can boot myself on a life-CD right ?

 me: But in this case, you cannot save data

 Maged: who needs to save memories

  better keep them unsaved

20:34 and live everyday like a new boot of a life-CD

 me: The hard will be in read only mode

 Maged: i would better disable the hard completely,

  i don't even want to read from it anymore

 me: I think you might need to do shutdown for a while

20:35 And may be a defrag to the harddisk

  Will work after that

  There is no need for full format

 Maged: do you think so ?

 me: And removing unwanted applications will boost the performance ;)

20:36 Avoid guest log in

  This might work

  Believe it

 Maged: i disabled all other accounts

  it is just my account now

  but i can't remove the spyware

  it is almost everywhere

20:37 me: And a firewall that disable external trojans
