Iv copied win7 onto the HDD. The drive icon turns into a win7 install icon. But now when I try boot up with it it says bootmgr.exe not found. But it is on the drive. When I set boot priority in bios I can see samsung G3 which is the hdd. But it doesn't see the 2 individual partitions... Am I doing s...

I think iv seen one for sale at Game haha. I could be wrong tho! They so pricey though its better to buy a 2tb

Good point Smilidon! I think its worth waiting for UEFI and Sandy Bridge to be released and then upgrade. Because as soon as those are released your pc is gonna be outdated. And 15K is more than enough for a decent rig.
I'm so due for an upgrade its ridiculous! Hence no specs in my sig hehe.

I think 550W should do it hey!

Try upgrading your drivers and get yourself a temperature app. My pc did exactly the same and it was due to the weather!
On a hot day I had to open windows and blow a fan on my case! So just keep an eye on the temperature,that could very well be the cause.
Those were the days hahaha

Thanks everyone for your advice,good ideas!! But now are these ideas possible?? I mean imagine a rainy night and all 27 residents want to watch a movie.
Can the routers handle so much info at a time?

I'll hook up wireless access points points under the eaves of some houses,try get the whole area covered...
But will wireless be able to handle this much data? I'll make movies read only. Wild night last night guys. Wild ideas... Hunters Dry makes me do these things...

Hey guys I live in an estate and I wanna start up a wireless network. I'll get uncapped adsl and provide that to the 26 houses wirelessly,through a server. I'm not sure if 1 router can cover the area of the estate. And I'll have multimedia on the hard drives that they can access wirelessly,like watc...

By the way what kinda files would you want to delete that are locked? I've never had to delete anything of that sort. But wouldn't it be easier just removing attributes through a command line? Then its an ordinary file. PS I've never had to do this but the thought just came to mind... Correct me if ...

That's very odd,I can't understand why it works fine for a month and then gives trouble. Only thing that comes to mind is your firewall settings? Are you connected to internet? To avoid confusion and hassle I disable firewall altogether,but that's not really the right thing to do,professionally.

Thanks a million stuart. That's exactly what I was looking for,I couldn't find a simple way on google. Well I think I've managed to partition my hdd and bootsect it. Now all I need is the os and it should work hopefully! I've been wondering as a matter of interest I'll have to copy the dvd as it is ...

What are your favourite apps that you think are absolutely essential on a general system that can perform basic multimedia,encoding,virtualization etc.
The apps that are first to get installed on your system

Weird? Maybe your user permissions have been changed or something by malware??
I rate do a full virus scan and see what that picks up like bladerunner said...

Windows 7 or xp if I can't get win7

I wana install from it so I don't have to use the dvds

I would need an image of windows wouldn't I? Then I also need those files you find on a win98 bootable floppy

Like if my C drive fails or my pc crashes,I want to be able to boot off my hdd instead of getting out the windows disc

Please help! I recently posted here asking if this is possible,and I was told it is. I've been googling but I don't get clear answers. Can someone please explain how to boot off my ext hdd. Step by step or maybe you know of a good site that will show me? I know I need to create a partition and I nee...

Boot up with last known configuration.or boot up in safe mode and troubleshoot from there.
Surely in your bios your hdd is still set as first boot device? I don't see how it could change by itself but check anyway

It seems everyone has their own personal preference. Research on virtualbox shows that its better than vmware,plus its freeware.
But if I'm having a problem with virtualbox then I'll try another app.

Has the problem been sorted out? I'm posting a bit late haha. Is there maybe a conflict in the drive letters?

Ya gamebooster works well,and defrag frequently. You could also remove protocols u don't use and windows components u just never ever use?

And what are IOS'es? I'd appreciate anything u guys can give me like any mcse study material? Anything at all that u think will help!

I have some cisco simulator thing. Its all made with flash player,I haven't had a look at it in detail yet,I've played around on the server 2003 sim I have.
Once I have my mcse and I'm in a job then I'll look at doing ccna and mcitp. Coz then I'll at least have experience with cisco systems.
