i am beginning preperations
 

to erase my hard drive... actually both hard drives. gonna do a clean wipe here. probably should find another mouse to use :x.

but first, saving stuff :sigh:

good luck!

i'm gonna need it cause i migh not even be able to install this windows, then i'll have to reinstall the other one again and i'll be back where i started.

i am no about to start erasing

Good luck! May the megabits be with you! ( or not in this case since your getting rid of them)

it's gone horribly and i hate dell. more details later.

*pat pat*

-pat pat-

here's what happened:
the windows that i had on my hard drive before i couldn't update (won't go into any details)

so i erased my hard drive and attempted to put on the windows that i got with my old dell computer. i assumed that if it didn't work i could just erase my hard drive and reinstal the one i had before until i could get another one.

unforunately dell's full of F***tards who like to screw me over. when i tried to install that dell windows the computer cut off during installation. wtf, this has never happened before. so i format again and try to install the one i had on it at first. wtf it cuts off again.

i can only assume that the same thing from them that stops windows on my old hard drive (from my dell computer) from starting up on my new (not dell) computer got on there and i can't get it off. so it must come from the dell windows xp. right now i can't install any windows on either hard drive. so they're basically both completely useless to me (there's also a 15mb difference between the two hard drive sizes it shows me at installation). this is total bs. but my father told me to order a new hard drive on my credit card. also i should call dell and cuss them out. so i can't use my desktop right now <_<

great it decided to work this morning <_< no i'm not happy. why am i not happy? cause my father was gonna buy me a new hard drive. i was aiming for the 500gb seagate and it knew it, that's why it decided to work D:<
