alright, sorry i couldn't help. good luck on the restarting from scratch
you could try doing a chkdisk (i think thats the command) from the command prompt on the old hard drive. i have no clue whether or not this will work, as i have never tried it, but it may be worth a...
I'm taking AP american history too. amen to that
as for the ram i might suggest this 2gb set from corsair: ddr2 800mhz
im not sure what you guys think of it, but it looks like an outstanding deal to me.
wow thanks for the fast reply but i broke the golden rule of problem posting: i didn't google it first. with a little searching i figured out all i needed to do was a chkdsk /F on the drive. thanks...
A while back i was trying to transfer some files to my 2gb flash drive when all of a sudden my computer restarted. When i logged back into windows i went to the flash drive and looked at a few of the...
As for a pci card, I will recommend this wireless g card with up to 54mbps transfer rates. It is somewhat slower than some other cards, but at $25 after rebate I think it is worth it. I play a lot of...
I am pretty sure he said he couldn't do a print screen, unless I misinterpreted that.
For a long time now my processor has been overheating a lot, so i decided to try to underclock it yesterday. I downloaded the intel processor id program in an effort to underclock, but when i ran the...
jeez, a triple post? thats what the edit button is for.
i accidentally deleted the cover art for one of my albums a couple weeks ago and a little googling found me seekacover dot com. just search for your album, right click the picture, copy, then right...
thanks for the suggestion, but it was unneeded. i have successfully installed ubuntu 7.04 feisty on the server and i have it set up as storage using samba on my network. thanks for all your...
i meant they weren't sata. sorry for the confusion. i did check the jumpers and my primary hard drive is set to master and the secondary drive is set to slave.
there is no save and exist page. at the bottom it says alt b to reboot, esc to exit, and a couple other things i can't remember. i will look again though.
i can get to the boot order easy enough. i guess i will try booting with ubuntu in the drive (the only os i have on hand right now).
i don't have an os install mode anywhere in my bios. i read somewhere that (initramfs) just meant it was booting from the live cd. i don't have a sata hard drive, or optical drive for that matter. i...
alright, thats good to know. the only usb devices i have connected are my mouse and keyboard, so i really hope thats not the issue. i have 1.5gb of ram, so i think i am set for that requirement.
im pretty sure none of these are in there. could i just take out the CMOS battery and put it back in? would that reset it?
alright, thanks for the awesome advice guys. i will get back to you as soon as i have a chance to test it out.
edit: i looked in the setup, and either there is no factory reset button, or I am too...
There are a lot of messages that go by fast, but i think i got them all. they go in this order:
"Firmware is out of date, please update"
"diskette drive 0 seek failure"
"array controller started...
i didn't see a service tag, but i got a serial number: 6CQEV
i have no clue what this looks like or how to reset it. a little more information would be much appreciated.
thanks for the suggestion lukifer, but i just found an extra 20gb drive im gonna use for this venture.
i just tried to boot from the ubuntu cd, and after the initial loading animation, i get this...
only problem with that is i have no money. are there any other easy ways to backup my hard drive? its only like 12gb
