Yeah, I love AMD, but to be truthful I mostly buy from the brand that has the best processors. I know AMD will pull something out that's huge in the future. I really think they are setting up for something big when they released socket AM2. I know they wouldn't be stupid enough to waste all that time working on a new socket for nothing. They made it to prepare for something extreme, I'm sure.

As it always goes, one can't always remain as the king of the hill, but one can hold it for much longer than others.

You CANNOT install windows on a different system unless it is the exact same system. Windows must be installed on the computer it will be used on. Has to do with mobo drivers and such.

I've installed my copy of Windows on more than one system. It might not be legal, but it works.

Thread with a couple of good ideas.

Quote:

boot to the recovery console...

Goto the "c:\System Volume Information" folder...

Inside there should be a folder with a long file name referencing to restore...

Then inside that folder will be several folders named RP1, RP2, RP3, etc...

Goto the highest number folder ie: RP128...

Then inside that folder goto the "snapshot" folder and there is a _machine_registry_system file in there....

Copy that to ya c:\windows\system32\config folder and rename it to "system"

But if he doesnt have system restore enabled then getting it from the repair folder is the only option.

Cheers

ok so ur windows is corrupted and ur pulling your hair.

Anywho this is what you have to do...take another hard drive and have windows xp installed on it. Make the formatted hdd that you just installed windows xp on primary. Make ur corrupted hard drive as secondary.

1. Turn on pc
2. let it boot into windows
3. restart
4. boot form your corrupted hdd (which should be fixed)
5. SLAP YOURSELF FOR BEING SO SIMPLE!!!
6. SLAP ME IF YOU CAN FIND ME AS THIS MAY NOT WORK!!

Anywho if that didnt work this is what you have to do..

1. Get ur xp formatted hdd (the one you installed xp on in our first attemp)
2. take that hard drive and shove it in a working computer and make it as secondary (do not boot from it)
3. go into the config folder found by going into ---> C:\windows\system32\config\
4. copy the config file and shove it somewhere on that hard drive (the xp hard drive)
5. take that hard drive and shove it in ur corrupted pc
6. make the xp hdd into primary and ur corrupted hdd into secondary.
7. now copy the config folder that you copied earlier on and replace it with the one in ur corrupted hard drive.
8. restart the pc with ur now fixed corrupted hdd.
9. thank me cause this took me some time to right......

btw any mods feel like correcting my spelling feel free rofl....

That hasn't stopped me the 10 or so times I have done it.

Yeah, as long as it manages to boot up it will start installing all the new drivers right away, including mobo drivers.

I'm currently posting from our new computer. We went and bought one from Best Buy for my family to keep at home when I go to college.

Here's the current situation, my original computer posts fine, no errors, memory checks out in the Bios memory check. I ran Memtest with extended testing for like 4 hours, no problems. I have two hard drives, a 10GB Boot hard drive and a 120GB Storage drive. When I put them in Nodbugger's computer together, with the 10GB booting the computer runs fine. When I put them in my computer, it sits with a flashing underscore. Something is definately amiss here.

You need to install the RAID drivers. Usually found on a floppy disk supplied with the motherboard. also, make sure that SATA RAID and that "ALL" SATA ports are enabled in the BIOS configuration.

Not true if you have a real Windows CD. Some prebuild PCs come with a "recovery CD" though, instead of the real CD, which only works on the computer it's installed on. Fujitsu-Siemens seems to do this. Sucks.

There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

I think you may have already tried this, but maybe you could just stick with the boot hard drive installed and see if it loads? Or boot with an old-school floppy into DOS and try reinstalling windows instead of trying to boot off the CD?

Make sure it's not something stupid like having your mouse plugged into your keyboard port, and vice versa. Not saying that has happened to me or anything. Sarcasm
