Copypasta from Wickerpeads:
The third series of Bigfoot drives was known as the Quantum Bigfoot TX series. This series increased the drives' spindle speed to 4,000 RPM and upgraded their interface capabilities to ATA-66. These drives carried the higher capacities of 4 GB, 6 GB, 8 GB, and 12 GB. Like the CY series, access time was advertised as under 12 ms. The 12 GB model is noteworthy for being the first hard drive to attain a capacity in the double digits of gigabytes. Quantum claimed that these drives could outperform many of the 3.5-inch drives on the market at the time.

But who cares, it's badass.... Right?

Oh hey Sal.
Hey sal!!!
you're about... 5 years too late
I had a P3 866mhz TNT2 Riva machine with ME that had a similar experience as you just had. It never gave me any problems and for a long time I wondered why people hated ME so much until I had tried it on a system that it did not agree with.
I think a lot of people who hate Windows Me haven't even used it! I feel the same thing happened with Vista, 8 and 8.1. People tend to hate something with an overall negative opinion, even without using it. Which is ridiculous.
Have you seen so many people hating the Atari Jaguar controller? My question is. A system that only sold 250,000 units worldwide. Could it be that so many people had the opportunity to take that controller and test it!?

That Yosemite reference is insane!
To this day I still have my win me cd key memorized because I reinstalled it so many times.
Oddly, for whatever reason, Windows ME never gave me any trouble at all while I used it.
This is one of your best. "Gimme that power bitch"

@@MaxUgly If you think of when IDE/EIDE came out it makes more sense. Some motherboards called Master/Slave 0/1 on each channel for probably the reason you expressed.
Holy shit it's barnacules

>doesnt choose 32-bit color
That’s druaga1 for you.
This isn't a Maxtor. This is a Quantum Bigfoot! Look at this man! It's a Quantum Bigfoot TX 8 gigabytes with IDE connection and MOLEX power support! It even has an LED and nostalgic drive spinning sound. It'll literally blow your face off with it's 5 and a quarter inch profile! Who has time for sissy hard drives that come with manuals and driver disks, man, we're badass we don't need non of that! It's so big it'll make your optical drives nervous to be around! Damn right! And if you got a dual drive setup you're gonna have to get your secondary out of there if you wanna fit this big boy in there. It's so big you gotta put it in the front! It's so fat it almost didn't fit! Slave it to the optical drive!? Oh hell nah! Bigfoot ain't no slave! Gimme that power, bitch! So there you go! Proof, you can turn this weak-ass rig into something crace!

Especially the sound he makes at 5:21, I laughed my ass off.....
Snowwie88 I did too

Oops I meant 6:50 for the gradient ordeal
Druga you should show off your pc collection with specs and perhaps take ideas to play with for them!
+patg108 Not a bad idea!
+Druaga1 Yes!
yep, how else will you know what still lives and what has died? And what possible oddball uses things may or may not have. And it gives you a chance to get organized (or to de-organize and have fun with your pc tinkering side)
Could document the components one by one in each machine and the ones laying loose. Then just put it in a database file or somethin like that

+Druaga1 Yes, you should!
am I the only one that managed to use ME without a hitch?
+Xion Heart I had a desktop with ME. It's quite usable but it had all the ME quirks.
+Xion Heart nope i still one as a foot stale all t work

If you mean with "without a hinch" a bluescreen every few hours, then yes, I managed to use it without a hinch.
I can recall how many times I got bluescreens when I was playing games on ME.
Never gain.
+Xion Heart You're lying.

1996: I have 32MB of RAM
2016: I have 32GB of RAM
4016: I have 32TB of RAM
Just goes to show how much faster computers grew back in the day. Back then, people knew how to install RAM. Nowadays, the concept of a computer fan is baffling. How else does your computer keep cool? (No, watercooling doesn't count. It runs many risks, including the death of your computer.)
deltadragonoid225 i have 3 fans.
Ram is at around a limit of 2TB for regular x86-64 type machines. You can have more for example on blade servers that use multiple boards to have hundreds of cores and terrabytes of memory.
So 32TB of ram is possible now.
Communist Ralph But for consumers, not yet.
deltadragonoid225 Consumer just means you don't got the money. If you have money, you can get the RAM.
1994: OMFG 1 GB HARDDRIVE?!?!
2016: 1TB? Meh. I've seen 16TB
3016: 16tb? meh. i have 1600yb
20016 1600 yb? meh. i have infinity
M Isa 1983: infinity? my document is in real life
The cringe is real.
Christ even back in 2008 in College, I bought a 500GB external drive, it was the size of a brick and required its own power source.

-Druaga1
Its so fat. It almost didn't fit
Ah the Bigfoot. I miss that drive.That was my first hard drive. 12.7GB in 2000 was a big deal.
+Florian Specht I was being sarcastic.
STICH666 My first hard drive was a 3.2 GB IBM Deskstar. I still have it in my dresser drawer.
12 GB was only available on the Bigfoot in 2000.
Yeah it was big.
pffft 10 gb was trivial
They were a terrible drive as I recall, slow spindle speed and large platter meant low costs, they also had a high failure rate I remember replacing a lot of these drives when I was still working as a tech. You can hear the bearings whine as he spins it up :P
I remember the 9/11 incident... I was installing Windows ME while it happened. Coincidence? I think NOT!
Did XP come out before you installed ME, or no?
I remember hearing about it but I don't think there was a cracked version at that moment.
RラYイLリIーE Xp was 2001 while ME being 2000 (bloody heck everyone was crazy)
@RESC It must have. 9/11 happened after XP came out, requiring the tag line to be changed from “Prepare to fly” to “Yes you can.”
RESC Windows XP was released to manufacturing on August 24th 2001 and released to the public on October 25th 2001.

You think 16 colors is fun, try a really broken default driver in 9x and see monochrome! :)
WaybackTECH he had a windows 98 installation that was in monochrome.
Just search for "windows 98 on a ssd"
Even worse with a broken GFX Card - you see nothing but black
@WaybackTECH Great idea
he *has*
Monochrome is really common with default video drivers on NeXTSTEP
how the hell did you unplug that molex cable so fast without ripping your fingers off
he was really excited to plug in his new hard drive

He's had experience pulling out
That's startup sound OMG. fuck life i want to be young agian😭😭😭😭
4:24 - "Oh my God! It looks just like the Windows 98 Setup!"
That is very true, as Windows ME was forked off of Windows 98, and is also why I prefer windows 2000 (based off NT Technology) over ME, and why Microsoft based all of the following operating systems off Windows 2000.
Great lampshade hanging on that!
Do you know about KernelEx?
it's a API wine style thingy that allows (in theory) to run 2000/XP/NT era shit on Win98 and WinME.
Maybe you already know about it, maybe you don't, maybe you can make a video and try to run shit that wouldn't run on ME and see if it works with KernelEX
+ImpostorSyndrome Now that's some Part 2 material right there!
Druaga1 there's even a compatibility database you can easily find googling "kernelex wiki" but there aren't many entries, but maybe you can find something there that you may think would be cool running on Win9X.
I doubt stuff that is too new will work, but probably a lot of pre-Vista/XP-only stuff may work.
Maybe you can try early XP-only games?
Anyways, I also wanted to tell you to keep making videos, they are funny and entertaining and in some cases legit interesting stuff!
I know small channels sometimes don't get enough love, so there.
+ImpostorSyndrome Thanks dood =P
+Druaga1 wait a fucking second... there's going to be a part 2?
+Jericho It can run Minecraft.
Oh I love Windows ME. My computer that ran it was always reliable and never crashed when it was working.
+Ttomisabeast
I love fapping with steel wool. Makes things extra slippery.
Jerkwad152 You're comment wasn't needed.....
Ttomisabeast
On the contrary, it was demanded.
+Ttomisabeast everyone here is irrelevant
so... it was stable when it wasn't broken?
Call me crazy but I don't get the hate for WinMe. Back then it ran quite well even with only 64Mb or RAM, I don't recall seeing blue screens until I used Windows XP and I didn't treat the installation very carefully : forcing drivers installations, playing with config files, and I was about 13 years old. The motherboard had bloated capacitors a few years later and ran fine like that until a mosfet burnt.
I installed it again a few years ago on my 3dfx gaming machine and its perfect. I needed only a few drivers for the Voodoo 5 5500 and the sound card yet the system is a bit newer than WinMe.
I'd say the main issue with WinMe is that it was advertised as a brand new OS while it was just a big update of Windows 98SE.

windows me had another driver system added to it (nt style dll's) alongside the old vxd's. these two systems really didn't like cooperating together, but if you had most/all drivers in one system then afaik me ran alrighty. so yea whenever you had a good experience or not was a bit of a roulette dependent on the drivers, but absolutely possible (and if the drivers checked out then me was an objective, if small, upgrade from 98 se, aside from the dos access removal)
@@slashed_out Actually, WDM itself was loaded as a VXD driver (NTKERN.VXD) on Win9x (i know, the irony) and it wasn't strictly a WinME thing either. Windows 98 (the first edition, not SE!) was the first to ship with WDM support, which in itself was backported from the then in-development NT5, which later became 2000. Even Win95 got some limited WDM support in OSR2, for USB mostly.
oh wow, i didn't know a lot of that! thanks for the extremely informative comment
@@SomeAngryGuy1997what does wdm I'm going to take a guess Windows driver management
@@NatetheNintendofan Windows Driver Model.
why are there no 5,25" hdd's today? the disc surface would be a lot bigger and therefore enable capacities far above 10TB. Also, nobody really needs optical discs nowadays so the bay is usualy empty. I'd be glad to put a 5,25" hdd in my NAS! So does anyone know why they stopped making these?
IVE BEEN SAYING THAT ALL OF MY LIFE AND NO ONE LISTENS
Cause a lot of cases don’t have 5.25” bays nowadays.
awesomeguy's Uncle but that's because people have stopped using optical disks and the like.
My guess is power consumption. If my physics is correct, it takes less energy to spin up a stack of 3.5” platters than a stack of 5.25" platters, assuming the mass of both stacks are equal. (Wiki: Moment of inertia). If anything, the standard might be thicker 2.5" HDDs in the near future (such drives can be found in some Seagate Backup portable HDDs)
Hard Disk drivers? Uhhhhh
Give me that power bitch. :')
is it just me or did the first couple minutes sound like a parody of either BBISHOPPCM or uxwbill?
Druaga is like what would happen if uxwbill, bbishoppcm and LGR had a baby. I love all these guys.

Druaga: The driver installation disk, something you'll definitely need.

I’ve got a big foot drive like that, that’s amazing that you have the box for it. The one I have came out of a small Compaq tower, it was bolted into the very bottom of the case and it was one of those weird ergonomic cases. I think I might have seen one inside of a Packard Bell PC, those were the weirdest PCs I have ever seen. With all of their shiny stickers on the front and you couldn’t even peel them off
16 GB of RAM and the Windows Mexican Edition CAN'T RUN
This is wrong in so many levels. I love it!
Santiago Vento it cannot handle that much ram, it will support 512mb and 2gb with some tweaks

Ohh Windows ME , the only OS that even Microsoft hates. One of the biggest abominations ever made.
10 isn't so bad, when you spend 1 month COMPLETELY denying the system internet accesses and track down another filtered source for windows updates.
Oh yeah, and telling Metro exactly what you think that it should do with itself and cortana.
+Tauiz so it's shit, unless you force it not to be? Sounds like a shit os to me!
A lot of people are sticking hard to Windows 7 like me. The newer OSes are lighter weight, but with my i7-4790k and 16GB of ram using a 500GB SATA SSD, it really stops mattering.
What you get down to is that Windows 7 was the last great OS made by microsoft. Windows 8 is a UI nightmare, Win 8.1 isn't any better, and Win 10 is a privacy nightmare and has bricked more parents' laptops then viruses.

Never had any trouble with ME. Worked perfectly on my PC at the time. In fact, I had some serious issues getting my dad to join me on XP, because his ME setup was rock solid.
In Quantum WE TRUST!
0:01 Ian's Computer Show pilot.
I remember my friends having Me installed on their PCs of the time and and was pretty solid. I tried ME for 30 secs when I realized there was no DOS mode so I switched back to Win98 SE. Man on my dad's mini Sony Vaio of the time had ME installed and man it was huge pile of junk it blue screened like no body's business and Windows 2000 made the computer very usable. To me ME really depends on what Hardware you have installed inside of the thing.
no DOS mode? that sounds like a big no no
