Windows 8

I recently changed the OS of a computer in my home from Ubuntu to Windows 8. Originally, the computer had Windows XP, but that just had a terrible virus on it, so it was replaced by Ubuntu. For a while, things went smooth, but I was uncomfortable because I was unable to use it properly. So, i decided to change the operating system to Windows 8.

At first, it seemed fun, sort of like having the Windows phone, but then I realized something was wrong. As I went to shut down the computer, a series of alert boxes showed up saying that disks were missing from areas that didn't necessarily need to have disks, such as disk f, g, h, i, and j. These are parts of the computer that were designed for either CF cards, SD cards, usb ports, or things of that nature that, at least I thought, were allowed to be empty. Perhaps this is just the virus that never left the computer coming back to haunt me... or maybe I just installed the OS wrong. Whatever it may be, it doesn't make me happy to have to keep on clicking continue just to shut down a computer.
