Losing My Partition

Lyrics by Fran­cisco Ran­gel, to the tune of “Losing My Reli­gion” by REM.

---

Oh, dri­ves get big­ger
They’re big­ger, and you
begin to split them.
You start to make par­ti­ti­ons
To orga­nize your files
Oh no! A bad resize!
I mes­sed it up.

That’s me at the key­board
That’s me at my lap­top
Losing my par­ti­tion
Try­ing to save all my files
But I don’t know if I can do it
Oh, no! Boot sector’s crun­ched.
I hadn’t backed it up.
I know that I’ll be for­mat­ting
I know that I’m not the king
There’s not­hing left to do but cry

Lost all my pic­tures
Every sys­tem file, my
Pow’rpoint pre­sen­ta­ti­ons.
Try­ing to save my notes to you
Now I feel like a stu­pid fool, fool
Oh, no! I’ve mes­sed it up
I scre­wed it up

Par­ti­tion this
Par­ti­tion this
The goof of the cen­tury
My Deskstar’s death.
The sign that told me
that my disk fai­led.
What if I use unde­lete,
Or, flai­ling around?
Now I’ve lost too much
I thought that I had it covered
I thought that I could con­vert
I think I thought ’twas worth a try
Rela­ted News

The Tali­banana Song

The Immi­nent Death of Micro­soft, Try #117

Top 11 Things found in the Micro­soft Cafeteria

But that was FAT 16
That was FAT 16
That’s me at the ser­ver
That’s me at the key­board
Losing my par­ti­tion
My job is lost, I’m so scre­wed
Well it looks like I really blew it
Oh, no! I lost some files
My data­base is gone
I thought RAID was there to help me
I thought it was idiot-proof
I think it should have saved my drive

But it’s not just a dream
Try. Fry
Why try?
I lost my Win­dows theme
Vent some steam
Drink caf­f­e­ine
Scream
