No hard drives

Wait what?
Where the fuck are my HDs?
That's Vista Business, and I'm local admin sans UAC*. It's a Dell Vostro, and the primary and recovery partition function completely normally in Explorer.
*) I would turn it on, but I can't find a way to a) make sure a tool I have on startup starts silently instead of UAC blocking it and b) keep access to my goddamn files.**
**) UAC prevented me from saving some local files I had copied off the server. You know, for work. The Fuck.

You forgot to reference the first footnote. I desire to know where it belongs.

I clearly remember putting a *, but whatever. Fixed.

I'll help you if you change your system language to English and re-do that screenshot. Not that I need you to, but it's always good to make users jump through hoops to ensure they don't bother you without good reason.Wait what?

You don't need HDs, Windows runs "in the cloud" now. Doncha know?

It's slightly ironic that it's listing everything that has nothing in it, i.e. the optical drives and flash media plugs.
It's also ironic that computers have tons of front-loading tiny data drives, even though nerds of our caliber tend to move more stuff and just yank out one of the multiple hard drives.

The theoretical bandwidth of a bike ride with a 2TB drive in my inside pocket is about 58400Mbps
A 30 second bike ride? I agree, that is impressing.

No, a 5 minute bike ride. 58400Mbps works out to 7+ GB/s, which is 2TB for a 4-5 minute ride.

hmm, agreed. I've accidentally used the fascinating unit of MegaBytes/s instead of Megabits/s in my calculations. My bad...

It was indeed curious that you were off by a factor of ~8.
I double-checked myself because I'm notorious for making a small mistake in a long train of simple calculations like that.
