[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Salazar14 I'd love for the OP to discuss the... >_> *cough*deep web*cough* <_<. But that's highly illegal and sensitive information that would not be best in the hands of the Flood.[/quote] What's that about? EDIT: Googled it, found it: Not creepy at all and already proven fake (the "creepy" story, not the deep web, that's real). It was about a guy who infected multiple PCs with backdoors and worms and stuff and he found a "tape" of a murder. He said he found it on a Windows 98 PC which wasn't patched at all but it had like 3TB of storage, which is impossible. Some comments on the story: [quote]Nokel says: ok, well, the guy in the creepypasta mentioned that the windows 98 computer was holding about 9 terrabytes, that is already bullcrap because windows 98 runs off the FAT32 file system which would mean that each file would be 3.99gb each and each hard drive would only display about 40gb per hard drive... so yeah[/quote] [quote]Microsoft Techy says: Nokel, although well spotted you made a few errors. Although true that file size is limited to 4GB, the hard drive is not limited to 40. Partition size is limited, but one hard drive can have several partitions on, even using windows 98. Windows XP runs on FAT32 and could have a hard drive of the size quoted in the article. SO FAT32 is not a reason for windows 98 to be limited to 40GB. The maximum size of the physical drive is determined more by the other hardware and especially the BIOS. If these were old computers I would definitely say that there is no way those hard drive would be working. Could be newer computers, possibly even using a dual boot, with 98 only using a limited partition space on the drive. Still call bull-blam!- to story personally though.[/quote] [Edited on 07.17.2011 1:52 AM PDT]
