No, I meant what I wrote--you ignored obvious information in an earlier
message in THIS thread because you were too interested in posting arrogant
criticism. My earlier message in this thread references the supported
Hitachi 180GB drive AND the WD 200GB drive that you slammed as
'unsupported'. You are so quick to snipe at others that you jump to
erroneous conclusions. Your other messages in other threads, which
thankfully don't involve me, are ample evidence of your pattern of posting
biting commentary without any useful content whatsoever. If you can't help
anyone, then shut up.
Users of the Microsoft news groups are looking for solutions, not insults.

Earlier message?
You mean earlier thread.
Not necessarily relevant to this thread since OP specifics are
unknown.
The OP never stated specifics.
Now get over it.
You jumped the facts from 2 different threads, two different OPs and
didn't even know you did it.
This thread is about OP.
Good bye.
This time if you feel you need to respond, go ahead and give your ego
the last word.
I am through with your part of this thread.
