Solve : ME won't boot?

I know we are now somewhat away from our O/P's original post but i feel the need to reenter the discussion. I believe it was an old venerable Tibetan monk that once declared "the only things guarantied in life are death and taxes--all others CONTAIN an element of uncertainty". I think that is what he said. truenorth Quote from: BC_Programmer on August 11, 2009, 04:06:50 PM

Maximum PC is an Awful PC magazine, IMO.

the only WAY it would do so is because of the additional writes.

On the other hand the same argument can be used with normal hard drives, since it can be said that it wears out the actuators.
So you think you should defrag flash memory?

So do you know of a better PC magazine?
And I actually happen to LIKE Maximum PC.

"awful" probably was an overstatement. I actually simply don't like PC magazines, of any form. And I don't think defragmenting flash memory is a good idea at all- after all, it does write to the cells, and the cells only have a limited (if not very large) number of write cycles they are designed for.

Actually I rarely defragment at all. Which is kind of funny considering that I would defragment floppy DISKS on my 286.

In fact I purposely would FRAGMENT a floppy just to see how long I could make the defragment take. (it was a 286, I couldn't exactly run Doom, so I had to occupy myself somehow, lol). Quote from: BC_Programmer on August 12, 2009, 07:55:22 PM

We used to punch holes into cards before that.  Has fun actually gotten any funner?
