Oh I'm so down. I still play zombie escape sometimes on CS:S. Never gets old. So down for Office.

Also 15 years for me. Fuck man we are getting old as shit.

Also, loving Back 4 Blood. Highly recommend to everyone who enjoys coop zombie action. I play on steam. gLiTch handle was retired with FT. You can find me as theRemedy on Steam friends.

Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

 sure, that's called dual booting. You won't be able to run both at the same time (unless you wanted to make a virtual machine instead).

 but lets say i made only one partition using the complete 1.5 TB running xp. Is there anyway to somehow make another partition using Win7 and transfer all the stuff i have on my xp partition without reformatting completely? it sounds like its not possible but i thought i'd ask anyway

 hold down the Windows Key + R. type in diskmgmt.msc This will open up the disk management utility. It is a very powerful tool that can really screw up your computer if you don't know what you are doing, so I would suggest reading up on it on Microsoft's support pages. Basically, you will have to shrink your existing partition to free up space for a new partition (this is where you will be putting Windows 7).

Before you go doing anything drastic though, make sure your manufacturer will even support windows 7. Go to their website and see if there are any drivers available. If there aren't any, well you're SOL my friend (maybe)...

 I'm confused as to why you don't just upgrade your XP to 7? You SHOULDN'T lose any data in the upgrade. Why would anyone want two partitions of windows is beyond me, unless you were doing a server/xp/7 duel boot, which still seems pointless.

 vector u should make 7 partitions and put windows 3.1 on one, and windows 95 on another. Throw windows nt, millenium edition and vista on them too.

I laughed for about 5 minutes from this. Pure genius. Please tell me you made it! I see it's from your photobucket.
