Well, Computer Management DOES find fixed discs, too. So, it finds fixed discs and removable discs like CD and DVD... but not floppies... idiots! As for using the magnet idea, technically, no it's not a good idea. Because if you use it, you STILL have to format it afterwards in order to use it. So, why use an unnecessary extra step?
-
Another reason to avoid the context format for floppies. If the floppy has a bad sector, the context menu will NOT "load" because it keeps trying to access the disk first. And, ejecting the disk and trying to select Format won't work because Windows complains that, yes, there is no floppy in the drive! What a bunch of fuquers! Oh, and, care to harbor a guess if Computer Management did any good?

Sorry, I should have also included, "NO context menus." Yeah, I'm fully aware of the right click, but, right clicking is DUMB! While a good idea in concept, a poor idea in execution because you never know when Windows will just decide to ignore your right clicks, display an incomplete context menu, display it bleeding down what is SUPPOSED to be the bottom of the screen, etc. I hate context menus and avoid them whenever I can. I guess the Format context MIGHT be a part of Computer Management. I'll check.

Can anyone recommend a floppy format utility for Windows? I need something that is not command driven. (Although command switches would be a bonus. ) I need a GUI. Something that doesn't run the FORMAT.COM unless it does run FORMAT.COM BUT displays any messages, regardless of if they're errors or not, returned by the format. Preferably, this GUI would also display a time bar or some indication that the format is running/accessing the floppy drive. This PC case was designed by an idiot. The bezel overs the floppy so that 1.) the eject button hardly works and requires a tool to get the disks out of the slot once ejected 2.) the floppy drive light is covered so there's hardly any way to know if the drive is being accessed. Thanks!

His immediate predecessor was caught in a similar embarassing situation. Only this time, Clinton SAID it on camera! To Hillary at some kind of get together, he whispers to her, but loud enough to be recorded, that he has to take a bathroom break. The same words.

Check this one out, folks! http://www.stomptokyo.com/movies/s/supaidaaman.html A Japanese Spider-Man live action TV series where he pilots a giant robot?!

Actually... I have to confess... *I* stole the mice I am using them in my latest mad scheme for world domination.

Two laboratory mice have gone missing from a bio-terror lab in New Jersey! Unfortunately, they're carrying... BUBONIC PLAGUE! Jerseyman! You got some explainin' to do!

Strange, here, tea is a brown liquid made from dried leaves, boiled... occassionally dumped in harbors to protest your rather strange interpretations of taxation.

I've had no problems either with this version, although, it's pretty much the same as the last beta of a certain something else. Just that one change for dual layer IFO files, which I won't be encountering because dual layer burning still isn't ready for prime time.

Regardless of what names you call them, there are two common factors in these sports between our two countries: 1.) they're still a colossal waste of time, no matter where you live 2.) despite what name you call them where you live, they exist for one reason: so that when you team wins, you riot, and, if your team loses, you riot. The only difference I've seen between how the two countries interact with their sports. In the UK, the fans riot in the stands. In the US, we riot in the streets.

I thought pee and pooh was what CMC used to make their DVD's with?

Remember the Furby? Well, Hasbro is re-releasing them here, and, it appears overseas, they're releasing it as Rugby. Rugby ball is what Rugby uses to reproduce... :&

I predict My Name Is Earl is NBC's next Ed. A show that is not good but they had high hopes for it so will keep renewing it, keep pushing it down people's throats, and hope to repeat the unwarranted success they had similiarly with Cheers by doing the same thing.
-
Surely, DVD Decrypter can be mentioned. It's mentioned on the front page of imgburn.com It depends on the context you mention it in. And, hence forth, I would recommend it not be mentioned at all.

Anyone ever question, while watching Tiny Toons, why Elmer, even though he's now a teacher at Tiny Toons University, how he is able to repress the urge to grab a shot gun and take pot shots at Buster?
