• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Explain this one....

I little while ago I was playing around with my computer and accidently restarted it while XP was booting. Whoops...corrupted something and it wouldn't boot anymore. So I put the drive in another computer I have so I could save my files. This computer also has XP, but is a completely different motherboard and everything.

Anyway...I haven't gotten around to reformatting the first computer, so it's drive has just been sitting in the second computer as the primary slave. Today the good computer froze and I restarted. It booted up from the BAD copy of XP that was installed on another computer. There are several strange things here...

1. Doesn't XP not boot if you change every peice of hardware? It didn't even detect any new hardware when it started...but everything seems to be working normal.
2. How the hell did it boot if it was corrupted?
3. WHY did it boot off of the primary slave drive when the primary master is still perfectly bootable and working?
 
XP just doesnt boot, or boots but you need to re-register it if you change like... 7 things I think it is. Other than that most of what you describe is sorta strange...
