OMG, a real girl on the net.....wanna cyber :P

Surprising how many people are buying core i7 systems at the moment.

They are expensive but they have insane performance. And they have the VT bit which is all important for running KVM.. was playing around with virtualisation on a Core2Duo and I was surprised at how fast SBS 2003 was running under a linux QEMU session (using KVM hooks).... i7 should totally own for entry level virtualisation servers

I'm gonna get one later in the year but not till Win7 is out

-D

Problem.

comp is having some sort of fit.

Turn the comp on and let it warm up, I do this for some reason.

Head back into the room and its blank.

reset bios. mb battery etc,

now I have the message " blah blah windows\system32\config\system is missing or corrupt. run cd to repair file. etc etc along the lines of this. Ive fixed something similar before but cant figure this out. any help please ? alot of music was just about to be saved on external drive. good timing

Seen something like that before so I'm guessing you'll have to take your c:\ drive out (you'll need a second computer to install this drive into) and get your windows directory out of a folder which will be more than likely hidden.

If its windows xp, put the disk in the drive, boot off of it. Once it has loaded up you should be able to make a selection to do a repair via the command console/repair console - so load that. Once that has loaded do a chkdsk /r (exactly like i have written it) on your c drive, and you should be able to get windows to load off of your hard drive again.

Ill have a crack. done everything you mentioned already. chkdsk. all the repair commands I scrolled and played with.

However havent tried /r

give it a go tomorrow and let you know. Cheers

A straight chkdsk does jack all, a chkdsk /r does a recovery of bad sectors etc. We use that command alot at work for pc's that come in and wont boot into windows - works 75% of the time, if that doesn't work we run a bad sector repair, if that doesn't work another chkdsk /r, and if it still doesn't work, a windows reinstall is needed or a new hard drive with a windows reinstall.

yeah just remembered ive tried that. didnt work. might give it a go again tho.

there is another chkdsk command too that I tried. Didnt work either.

Going to be pretty pissed is I havce to format C;

Harddrive into old comp might be the go. grab the folder I want then reinstall

what is the blah blah?

there could be lotsa things that have caused this, have you tested the hard drive with the manufacturers tools?

have you gone into the repair consol and done a fixmbr and fixboot?

taken out all other hdd's including your external drive and tryed to reboot again.. sometimes people dont know but their external HDD can take boot priority and will stop your PC from booting

anyhow, try those, see how it goes

Tried everything. Looks like im going to format C.

Really sucks. really pissed tbh. Lost alot of stuff I was about to backup.

Golden gun in cod4 too :D

Maybe plug the harddrive into my other comp ? Will it work as a normal drive even with a OS running on it ?

Yes

There are a lot of things u can do before needing to format the drive - have you got a USB ext HDD caddy?

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
