My Work Place (Part2)

Today, I went to college neither for duty nor classes but to do something I’ve never done before. That is, creating image. All I have to do was to install Operating System and other licensing software. It wasn’t as easy as I thought. I had to carry a PC from one end to the other. And worst, I did that twice because the first one that I took was faulty. Sigh. Both arms are aching a little right now.

I wasted 3 hours for installing the Operating System 3 times. What happened was, I forgotten to format the disk during the first installation, while the second and third uncompleted installation for due to the hard disk failure. That means I did it 4 times all together. I nearly doze off while waiting. Even the book that I’ve borrowed from the library did not do me any good either.

After 4 hours the installation finally completed. Then, another problem accrued. The PC could not connect to the LAN. Thank goodness by boss managed to solve that problem and thus able to connected to the internet. Hurray!!! I kept myself occupied by browsing the Internet while installing software at the same time. I did not manage to finish the image because I had to rush to church for AGM at 7pm.

Late in the evening, my boss found out that one of the images that were created few days ago was ghosted by one of the Technical Assistant. My boss was furious and wanted that Technical Assistant to recreate the image again. The computer that has the image was unplugged from the hard disk and power cables. What makes that Technical Assistant ghosted the PC was due to account login failure.

Here are some photos taken at work.

The image that I was creating was in the T&I room. The installation wasn’t completed yet.

The PC that was ghosted was in Lab 4. One of the rounder ghosted it by mistake without knowing that it was an image. That particular image was actually created by 2 of our Technical Assistant over the pass few days. Sad to say, all of their hard work has just gone down the drain.
