That's from "The Silence of the Lambs".. in case you are one of the ignorants who don't watch disturbing thrillers.
This post has nothing to do with lotion or hoses, but perhaps it's more about me getting hosed by the IT guys.
A while ago, my laptop couldn't boot up correctly.
I went to the "IT" guys about it, to have them fix the encrypted MBR.
Well, these "experts" have no idea how to work with our company's drive encryption much less what an MBR really is.
Well, I figured it out, ran a restore of my entire drive, because that's the only method to restore the data, lay down a standard Windows 7 MBR.
After that, I let the corporate drive encryption take over and go for it.
The other day, my backup app freaked out over the drive again...
I scheduled a reboot chkdsk.
Only reboot did the same thing as before.
MBR is hosed... again.
I did the same boot process just to keep working yesterday.
Today, I wanted to keep working early, only to realize that if I was doing work that was only going to be stored locally on my hard drive, I wasn't going to be able to keep it very well.
So I've basically been dicking around for the past few hours, waiting for these "experts" to get in so I can get the drive replaced.
After the replacement, I'll do my restore, and all will be well with the world...
I expect...
