:/ yea, i thought it was weird i didnt get hte EULA thing. sorry for not clarifying earlier, but could it be because its a volume license from school? i dunno, cuz its technically still windows xp w/sp3, no?

for 3., i dont get anything that has to do with formatting 4. i actually considered that, but bootcamp instructions specifically said not to:) but i mean...i guess its worth a shot, right? :p

so i just got my leopard cd in the mail from home, and got windows xp w/sp3, and went through the steps, but when i select the right partition to install it on, i dont get an option to format the hard drive. In the bootcamp setup instructions, it says i have to format with windows installer...

oO i think ill try that out too...thanks :) i also booted from cd for rEFIt, and even though i only had one option of "Mac HD," it seems alright. (probably doesnt mean anything :P) also, as i googled about it more, i actually found...

as for VMware, i think i'd rather try out something free first :p (well, i guess i could try the trial) i downloaded rEFIt, and as it says on the site, im gonna try to boot it from a cd (it said something about trying this if i didnt want to mess with my actual drive just yet) and in...

I got my macbook about two months ago, and lately, ive been thinking about starting to use boot camp to get windows and such. i've also been wanting try out linux (just wanna play around with it, nothing serious yet) so i was wondering if this was possible. (i know windows is, but is...

so i've heard people tell me, when it came to the macbooks, to get ones with less ram, and upgrade it later myself. and i figure its a good idea to save some money and such, but would applecare not apply anymore? I mean, i assumed it wouldnt, but theres always that hope... actually, is this...

with graduation/college approaching, i think ive decided to get a macbook just cuz i think having a pc would be a bigger hassle i dont wanna deal with in college. but anyhoo, i was just wondering if you guys knew when between now and june (maybe even august) is typically teh "best" time to...

haha darn...i was hoping i wouldn't have to RMA and I didnt try it on another motherboard, and the one i'm using doesn't support dual channel

up until about 4 months ago, i was working on 512 mb of ram, but decided i needed an upgrade, so i got two gigs (it was pretty cheap, so i figured why not) it was two corsair DDR400 1gig sticks, and my 512mb stick is the exact same line. i double checked with my motherboard manufacturer's...

haha..:p kent mentioned power supply, so i thought it might be important that i believe my powersupply is a raidmax 350W stock one that came with my case. so maybe that could be the problem. so besides that, i guess im gonna get the UBCD and try some of those tests out. cuz i tried...

SMART was off, so i turned it on, i switched the cable, and i tried reinstalling, but this time it didnt even get past the format stage because windows setup said it couldnt do it. i tested that partition for its file structure with seagate diagnostic tools, and it failed. so im hoping that its...

alright, I'll see if i can run prime95 on it. I ran memtest for around....21 hours and got no errors. i did notice, however, that ECC was off, and i figured that it might be important enough to mention. and I will definitely try a new cable, because i believe ive been using the same cable...

so with teh seagate diagnostic/ utitlities, I rewrote 0's on the hard drive, just in case it would help it somehow. Either way, i havent been able to get hte diagnostic to complete even a quick test (even before the zeroes). The first time, it got to 100% but froze, and the second time (after...

it migh tbe kinda long, but i think a complete story is necessary ;) so i recently got my RMA hard drive from seagate (which crashed a few months ago; theres probably a thread on it somewhere here :p ) i started doing all the formatting and such today, and from what i remember, some people...

So i got a 22 inch widescreen for black friday, and set it up, but i'm having problems setting up the resoultion. It should be at something like 1680x1050, but when i change the setting to that resolution, i get a cracked up image to the point where i can't see anything, and just have to wait...

so im using my friend's hosting place, and he's lettign me use it like....if his is www.website.com, mine is www.sam.website.com, and that was cool because i figured when i buy a domain name, we could just change stuff, and it can be called www.mywebsite.com so we bought one at 1and1.com, and...

alright alright...what about http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=ATA_Troubleshooter_-_Windows_Error_Messages_-_Bad_Sectors&vgnextoid=66514a3cdde5c010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD crosses fingers EDIT: i know i just posted like a minute ago, but i thought about it, and if its...

aw man....thats what i was afraid of :( thanks for the help, though EDIT: so i was looking on the seagate website for RMA info, somehow got into troubleshooting, and then got to Microsoft knowledge base and found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822800/en-us i dont know if it'll work becuase...

so after having issues with adding memory (detailed in a thread taht i can't seem to find), i thought i may have ruined my hard drive until yesterday, when things seemed to work. To make a long story short, adding memory caused all these bootup problems and my theory is that in the process of...

so i can get a pretty cheap lcd from a friend (that 80 dollar one from last year's black friday at best buy. its not great, but its good enough) and if i buy it, it'd be my third monitor. so as of now i have my two set up on a powercolor 9200se (or something of that sort), and it works fine, and...

i think its about time for a reformat, but things have changed, so i'd just like to make sure what i have in mind would work fine, befor ei actually do it so lets say i have two disks, disk 1, seperated into two partitions, with C: as one of them, and disk 2 seperated into three partitions. I...

i basically got dual monitors becuase 1) it was really cheap (black friday) and 2) its just cool i dont do anything serious, but it helps when you're just working on a bunch of crap like word (for me at least). for certain assignments i can watch a video on one and do work on teh other. when...

i just bought a new monitor (thank you black friday) because i wanted to set up dual monitors, but my video card has one dvi output, and one vga output. the vga one's taken up by my first monitor, so for the second i was expecting to use just a dvi to vga adapter. But from what i read from...

just a question, cuz i wanted to get a monitor too, but its sold out online, it should still be in the store right? cuz it says 10 mininum. how does this work? (at best buy)

alright so i tried changing those settings, but no luck :( in the settings for the HD in bios, my first option was "IDE Primary Master" with choices None, auto, and manual. Then there was "Access Mode" with choices CHS, LBA, Large, and Auto. underneath, was the information like boot sectors...

mage: if there was, i never touched it ;) sovalon: ill go try that out now i actually signed on cuz i found something out. i dunno why i didnt try before, but i hooked up my other hd, just to see if BIOS would read it correctly at 120 gb, and sure enough, it did. so its not BIOS. and i just...

protias: formatted ntfs multiple times mage: it worked perfectly fine before without an add-on card thanks, but remember, everything worked fine before.

i've read some threads about computers not recognizing HD's over a certain size, and mine's kind of like that, except in most of the ones i've read, the BIOS recognizes the real size. In my case, it doesnt. I have a 120GB Western Digital HD (WD1200JB), and it worked fine for around a year and a...

its been a while, but the error said something like it encountered an error at a certain point on the hard drive I enabled HDD SMART, and i didnt get anything that said failed (assuming it worked fine) but when i tried installing windows, (which for some reason, it says it couldnt find the...

i know this is old, but i just got on today i tried the diagnostic tools, and i cant get through the short test without an error message, and when i tried the full test, my computer just shut down. I have ECS L4VXA2 (cheapo from fry's) but its been working well before this. the only thing...

you know when you reformat, bootup should take like 15 or 20 seconds from the windows xp logo screen to the desktop? well, my computer used to do that, and it'd bootup in like 3 sweeps of the little blue bar, and then spend about 5 seconds on the welcome screen, and i was on the desktop. (i...

when buying things like resistors, capacitors, transistors, and all that other good stuff, is there anything that i should look for in particular? like, is there something like the voltage that has to match up? or would anything work? and i know there are different materials for capcitors, i...

is there a limit to how long we can use this? or is it unlimited? and your guys' opinions, i usually use norton + avg, but i cant find all my installation cd's so do you guys think just avg alone would be safe?

can anybody help me make a page thats password protected? preferably one that i can change the password everyday, and can edit the page its protecting. MOst importantly, that can be hosted on geocities or other free place. I've tried various methods that ive foudn on google like some javascript...

well, that folder does't exist for me :p and i forgot to say, i uninstalled limewire (actually taken care of in system restore), and nothing looks irregular in the processes

bump?

i reformatted maybe 2 or 3 months ago, and as always, i install the usual norton, avg, ad-aware, spybot, zonealarm, and whatever i forgot. then i did the thing to make xp boot faster, which is to go into regedit and change a value from 5 to 3 or something, and it boots a lot faster. But about a...

very nice. and i agree, some parts look painted :D
