Well ive been so god dam stressed at the wasted time ive spent trying to sort my pc, ive had to take a few days away from it, or it was going to be launched out the window lol..
Ive now decided to
1) Send my 500gb Off to be Exchanged as it makes a strange noise if i spin it forward backwards next to my ear. Its a matalic noise, and Hitachi have send send it in and have it replaced, < Thinks > That was a little too easy, i'm thinking they know this model has issues??
2) Build a new pc. As i have a lot of new components on my old pc, which will come over, and i will just get more of those Japanese's PATA to SATA Converters And over Time convert my drives. So now im looking into the cpu / motherboard / memory configurations, as i now have forgot whats good and whats not, and what's not worth spending that much on.
IMO a good pc is more like a super pc nowerdays at the fraction of the cost. But with christmas coming up, i'm inclined to wait until its over and the sales begin.
I'm staying on an XP platform, not ready for vista yet...
So i'm stressed but getting there slowly and working from my laptop now, as you guys say at least i'm in control of this shut down and not picking up the pieces.
Is that right that Vista Home Premium code is backward compatible with XP and 2000 and ME ??
Hopefully life will begin to pick up again soon, ive done well 4 years without problems, so i can count my blessings at home. ( Not my server lol)
Will Take a look at that link NT Ive been using some of the recovery utilities on Norton Ghost 9 and there pretty neat, Examine Partition info recovered a full disc of data, just changed the numbers to match my other drives. Some how that screwed up trying to make a dual boot. See what i mean <stress>
BOOM !! Version v7.6.1.1 People who inspire me IsaacME Gizmo
And over Time
