so i'm without a computer again...
 

sorry if there are misspellings or whatever, i'm tired and :mad:

i was talking to will last night about reformatting, and i put it off until today, which was the biggest mistake evar. this morning i was working on the comp, when all of a sudden i got the blue screen of death. f*ck! so i restarted, blah blah, and it wouldn't go past the xp loading screen. just keeps restatring from there. so i pop in the xp cd and try booting form there, but it wouldn't work. i called some people for help, but no one was available. so i had to wait till tonight to call my best friend in houston because he doesn't get off work till late. basically he ran me through the steps of acquiring a boot disk and how to install windows from there onward.

now with windows installing, it keeps giving me errors with "cannot install ____.___ in so-and-so directory, retry or cancel" so i just keep cancelling on 93228497923874 of those windows because i'm an impatient shithead. finally windows is trying to install now. (i'm on my mom's laptop so i could do my online class too)

for the past 2 hours, my computer said "windows will complete installation in 9 minutes." i think i will leave it on overnight and pray for a miracle. tomorrow i will call a local friend and see if he can help. i am also gonna take it to another friend's house for a fresh xp install.

i hate my computer :mad:

will, thanks though :mad: should've taken your advice last night but i now think that my hd is physically f*cked. good thing i printed out all my email addresses because i couldn't figure out how you did that backup thingie.

:mad:

that sucks

im glad i just got my dell last month

:rofl: @ dell

i need to go buy another motherboard.

:bish:

:fawk:

why is that....I have never had a problem with my dell... :confused:

np. that backup thingy is really simple. i probably didnt explain it right. anyway...do you have a clean copy of xp to install from?

dells suxor.

cheap parts, low end. hefty price tags.

build your own pc, save $100's, know what you are using, and smoke any dell.
i mean, dells are "ok" for the typical sucka. not somethin i would ever use though.

i gots an athlon xp 2600 w/333 fsb, oc'd to 2.21ghz, dual channel ddr 400, msi board w/ nforce2.

I got to agree with you man...build your own..it's the best way to go.

i was gonna say how are posting then, neo
