MauriceMynah Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Ok, two issues I have at the moment. The first one involves a catastrophic crash on the computer I had on Monday. Window failed to load. I contacted MS-Support who were unable to assist (no real surprise there) I re-loaded Windows 7, but that wouldn't install properly. I tried loading it on other disk drives but the machine was telling me that ALL my disc drives had failed. Some may remember that I have four drives on this machine. Eventually I opened the side of the computer to try a fifth drive. I have a removable hard drive caddy enabling me to move hard drives from machine to machine. I was going to use that drive as a last resort. I don't know why but for some reason I turned the machine back on before installing this fifth drive. Window 10 loaded up as if nothing had ever gone wrong. Everything was back and intact. All four drives were there with all the files. I did a massive backup onto DVD of all my important files. I did a restart to make sure that this "recovery was no flook. It wasn't. Everything loaded back up as before .... with one exception. When booting up now, the machine offers me the option of loading Windows 7 or windows 10. Sadly the install of windows 7 is still naff and fails to load properly, otherwise I'd be a happy bunny. What I would like to do now is to remove this 'corrupt' install of 7 so that boots go straight to Windows 10. How do I do this please? Issue number two... I have found some artwork I'd like to have made into a transfer to stick to the side of Nyx. Some of you will be aware that the goddess "Nyx" is from Greek mythology. She was the daughter of Chaos and personifies a void. Kinda fittin huh! I found a picture of Nyx on Google and wondered if I could have a transfer made. I would also like our illustrious members opinions on whether this artwork would be thought to be too risqué to have on the side of my boats superstructure. I attach two pictures to this post. The first is of my boat. It shows the NBF logo (now removed) That is the position I have in mind for this, one each side. The other picture is of the artwork I found, for your opinions. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riyadhcrew Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 A little bit risque, but nothing compared to what is plastered around today in many places. Personally, I think it's a bit of class. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It would be a great talking point, when moored outside the pub at Acle Bridge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Not so much a geek...as a gawk! You do know that some joker will put elastoplasts on sections of the image. Personally I have no problem at all with 'nuddy wimmin' but there's two things missing from the image. For your average punter to appreciate that it's art it needs to have a couple of fat babies with wings and a Klatchian urn... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see the run dialog come up - Type 'msconfig'. The System Configuration app will open. Go to the Boot tab, and you should see two entries (Windows 7 and Windows 10) Select Windows 7 and hit Delete and then apply / ok Assuming you've done this correctly, the machine will boot straight into Win 10.

Vaughan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I fear that the authorities would not allow this image as she is not wearing a lifejacket. Mind you, if she fell in the river, it looks as though she would float face up! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I well remember a young lady of our youth who was similarly well endowed, the usual comment being; 'oooh look, here comes a pair of nipples, and yes, Barbara is following 'em'! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 I find myself surprised, no, staggered at the level of sexism being displayed by people of whom I had previously had such a high regard. The "schoolboy humour" is hardly worthy of the members of this forum, which hitherto has been proven to be such a high calibre. On the other hand if the picture had been of a lass with a pathetic pair of jugs I'd not have bothered in the first place. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Nyx, they don't build 'em like they used to. No tats or piercings, no muffin tops either. Indeed the picture is reminiscent of Health & Efficiency, right down to the lack of body hair or a mobile phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Go for it MM - Your boat - your decision. Personally I like them Griff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Sounds like if anyone complains you can count on us to support you. I actually think it very tasteful. No more than you would see in an art gallery. Im now wondering what art I could put on my boat!!!! You may have set a precedent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrumpyCheddar Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 It's what you should feel comfortable with and how you feel about your boat and what should put on her.... I had this decision many years ago when my old boss let me decide what to have air brushed on the truck I was driving... I had to have along think and think..... 1, What shell I pick?.... 2, Will I regret what I've chosen?... 3, Will it look Naff?... 4, Will people know who it is?... In the end I chose one of my film heroes.. Clint Eastwood with a couple extras like......Lee van Cleef... So I say go for it... if you change your mind.. you can take it off... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Ok, so where can I get the transfers made? Any ideas? A4 size seems about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Cheapest option...Vinyl sticker sheets A4 £1.89 each on ebay and print your own...alternatively any shop sign makers will have a vinyl printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The guy that does our graphics has the professional printers and the like. He does vehicle signs / wraps / shops signs and the like no doubt an e-mail to him with the picture will give you an idea on price Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Thanks, I'll try a paintshop jobbie on it and see what I can come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
