Why do I already have 4 primary partitions, and which one (if any) can I change to logical?

Any idea why a silent install might run perfectly when running the command directly from the command line, but when running the exact same command from a batch file, it just silently fails to do anything?
@OliverSalzburg as in, the same working directory? Yes. The path is fully specified in both cases. The weirdest thing is that the executable is definitely running, and definitely receiving the right arguments. The first three lines of the log file are identical, but then in the failed installer, the log file just ends there - no errors - and the successful one goes all the way through.
Hmm. Yes, I was double-clicking the batch file, and running the command from inside the command line.
Heh.. I was going to answer a question about how to grant a user Administrative priviledges in Windows 7, but someone downvoted it (with no comment), and then the user deleted the question.
sidran32 : That just happened with a question about opening ports in Windows Firewall - I (quickly) searched the website and couldn't find a similar question (I probably could if I dug around).. but that would have been helpful to others.
My new laptop's keypad is weird - my buttons act as part as the touch pad, so if I have a finger resting on the pad and try to rightclick with another, I can't.. I need to find a solution =p
Unfortunately, I removed my user account from administrators group and my default administrator account was disabled by default. So now i am unable to perform any administrative task.

There are a couple ways in which you can do this. For both methods, you will want to log in under an existing user account with administrator access.
1) The first (and simplest) way is through the User Accounts control panel.

@ekaj I don't know about a repair CD. Windows installation media can boot into a repair mode, and obviously you can reinstall from that as well. If you have a dedicated repair CD, I doubt you can install from one of those.

You can download Windows installation disc images from Microsoft's website directly. You would just need to buy a license if you don't have one already, after that.
I just bought a serial for Windows 7 on-line from the Microsoft store (the most painful shopping experience EVER!). I selected that I wanted to download my version of Windows 7 after purchase. After payment I was listed a Product Key but no download link in sight.

I have lost my Windows 7 installation DVD, but I do have the license key. How can I get a Windows 7 DVD? Can I download an ISO image somewhere? While installing can I use my original Windows 7 Key?

@slhck Yes, I wondered why the nul was recognized as separator. Then I noticed that I didn't need that for my solution and sliced off most of the code.
Ugh. So much for Automator's automatic output handling...
@slhck Don't tell me that the first character of the empty string is the nul byte?! -d delim The first character of delim is used to terminate the input line, rather than newline.
Hello, I am looking for an alternative to Gmail as email service and I'd like to ask you for a recommendation or two.
I am perfectly satisfied with Gmail's feature set, except that I am looking for a service run by a company other than Google.
Specifically, the service I am looking for has to be:
* free * with a good mailbox size (I'd say 0.5-1 GB minimum) * a good web interface, fast and keyboard-friendly (à la gmail) * possibility to export mail via IMAP and/or POP3 is a good plus
> Because BASH internally uses C-style strings, in which '\0' is the terminator, read -d $'\0' is essentially equivalent to read -d ''. This is why I believed read did not accept null-delimited strings. However, it turns out that BASH actually handles this correctly.
> I checked BASH’s souce code and found the delimiter was simply determined by delim = *list_optarg; (bash-3.2/builtins/read.def, line 296) where list_optarg points to the argument following -d. Therefore, it makes no difference to the value of delim whether $'\0' or '' is used.
OK seriously pissing me off now: all the emails I have been getting today (gmail) are being dumped in my trash.
> You have sent a message in a trashed conversation. The message will not appear in your Sent Mail unless you move it to your Inbox. Learn more Move to Inbox
I click move to inbox... and remove the trash label... respond to the email - it trashes it
ok found it. there was an auto filter in place (gmail must have defaults) - Pro Tip: Don't talk dirty to your girlfriend over gmail or it will assume the thread is spam and keep binning it.
Yes, overclocking can cause hardware damage. Damage from overclocking is generally due to electrical overstress resulting from the circuitry being subjected to excessive temperatures or voltages. Wikipedia explains this in more detail:

@DragonLord the question's closed anyways, so it being locked shouldn't affect you too much.
I'm sorry they harassed you, although I would recommend in cases like that just not engaging. I know it's hard when they're saying all kinds of BS, but escalating the situation rarely helps.
