In the past, moving a Windows 7 drive image from another computer has worked fine because Windows 7 is designed to be mostly hardware-independent. However, in this case, I needed to reset the Windows drivers for the hard drive controller. For some reason Windows Startup Repair (which fixes most other incompatibilities) couldn’t do that automatically for me. Once I figured it out, I just had to download and run fix_7hdc.vbs, which took all of five seconds.

Wed, 09 May 2012 04:28:10 +0000 http://papertowel.org/?p=1300#comment-6060 Sleep-thinking can work, but I think it’s just a sub-class of removing oneself from the problem at hand. Other examples which have proven succesful for me are shower-thinking, commute-home-thinking, and people-watching-at-Disneyland-thinking.

More interesting to me than the solution you came to while sleeping is the answer to the following question: What prevented you from returning a new computer which failed to boot for days?
