New computers and junk:
Not the junk per se for me, just the @#$%@#$ messing with the partitions. I want C drive D drive E drive with nothing in C but the OS. I don't mind if there's a hidden partition ahead of C, it is after all, transparent most of the time.
Sony have been fine on this, but HP were a pain. Once I'd got everything as I wanted it, I sadly had to reload the OS from the Recover discs. Yep, One drive and all the crap was back.
I have a copy of 7 made for HP. If I load it without disc 1, all is a normal (licensed - non-OEM ) installation. If I put in disc 1, I get the @#$^%@$. Okay, sound easy, but I have never, ever, been able to get the drivers loaded so have to work around things with Windows-X keystroke. I use it every day, but I just feel kind of defeated.
