i'm dealing with a migraine again, so i'm going to spend the day sleeping, but i just need to point out a few things.

- they seem to have disabled the ability to turn off certain services in msconfig. i'll have to fix that before i consider reconnecting to the internet.

- i do not have a raid controller, anywhere. raid is for gamers. i don't game. i'm a musician. i have multiple hard drives because i need a lot of space to store all of the data. the drives are not the same. further, the pc with the multiple drives has no network card in it. the laptop that i use to connect to the internet has one sata drive in it.

i'll be back up when the headache goes away.
