i had this CD that wasnt reading correctly on my PC. i asked my roomate to try it in his powerbook G4 to see if maybe it was my computer acting badly. the g4 wouldnt read it either, and now the CD wont come out of the drive. is there any way to force the machine to eject it, or to do it...

yeah, i noticed those extra four pins and i was like, wtf, did i buy the wrong adapter. good thing the 2nd IDE cable thing worked or i'd be shorting it with a gum wrapper or a guitar string.

i put the 2.5 on the secondary IDE cable. started right up, windows went into CHKDSK and five minutes later the drive was fixed. thanks for the help guys.

ja, but will winders try to boot off of the master? the laptop drive is physically undamaged but windows seems to be corrupted to hell.

my laptop decided to take a crap on me. i bought a 44 to 40 pin drive adapter to try and get files off of it. problem is, when i plug it into the slave spot on the cable, BIOS wont recognize it. when i unplug the power from the master drive, the BIOS picks up the laptop drive as a master. but...

no floppy drive tho. i need to make a bootable CD ROM. i cant find anything about making a bootable CD.

the problem is that when i put in the recover CD, it automatically tells me that the system is prepared and gives me a button to restart. however it does nothing. i know win 98 used to let you make boot disks, but the closest thing i can find in XP is the 'make MSDOS boot disk' in the floppy...

last night i was using my computer, checking email and other chores, and it slowed way down and froze. i tried to restart and it would have none of it. when i try to start now it says 'Invalid Boot.ini file, booting from c:\windows' then goes to the windows startup menu (with all the options)...

yeah, but i havent seen anything in my price range from those manufacturers... neweggs feedback seems to be pretty good. i mean, i'm not a pro by any means. i'm just sick of paying for disposables.

i'm going on a trip to colorado and utah here in about a week, and i want to buy myself a digicam before i head out there. my budget is minimal. i really dont wanna spend more than 150 since i know i'm gonna want a second SD card and a bunch of batteries. i saw this...

i know there's already two threads about this on the page, but they dont really address my questions. i'm a college student, which means two things. 1) i've stolen a lot of music and 2) i'm poor. i want to reformat my laptop this summer and i dont feel like burning six gigs of music on to...

i've seen this happen with cars. some guy posted his mods or track times or something on a forum and a dealer denied his warranty claim. i believe it was mitsu. motors.

even though its car related, it still belongs in FS/FT :)

thanks for the help guys, i went out yesterday and got project gotham and rallisport challenge (both the first version, i didnt wanna break the bank).

i'm going to college in like 3 days, and my roomate is bringing an xbox. what's the best car game for it? i dont want to be stuck playing football all the time :(
