If smurf and I end up seeing each other next, it will end up looking like a bitch fight with all the slapping.

okay okay so
got my new comp built, easy as shit, like, took 20 mins


then it took me bout an hour and a half to figure out how to make my usb drive bootable (was putting files on drive and making it bootable in the wrong order)


so after staring at that screen for a good 10 mins, i get to stare at this one!


this screen then decides to pop up, and i click two things before resuming staring at screen




then i get all excited when this screen pops up, because it looks like shits gonna happen!

after clicking two tings i get to see this awsome selection screen!


and then all of a sudden shit hits the fan


so im like wtf, i look at my godam comp and lo and behold! WTF IS THAT RIGHT THERE? YES, ITS A GODAM HARD DRIVE WITH CABLES AND SHIT


alright alright, w/e, i'll just install the driver right?

with that nifty little cd that my mobo came with!


wait...is that....THATS MY FUKIN HARD DRIVE RIGHT THERE! YOU SEE IT DONT YOU!??!?!?!


whatever, whatever, okay, fine i look for drivers on the disk...oh what does windows tell me? THEY'RE NOT COMPATIBLE FOR SOME GOD UKNOWN REASON. fine be that way i yelled at my computer, i found updated drivers on the mobo's website, put em on a usb drive, and rammed that thing up my comp's fuckin electronic butthole


wait...where are the drivers......wait...whats this button...

figured out what was the problem, usb keyboard and mouse were confuzing mah comp and not letting it read the hd, also, i WAS clicking custom, as you can see mouse is over it! so ha! in fact im using new comp to type this out right now!!! >:D

lol@n00bs building their own systems

I remember when I was like 15 or 16 and started playing with my PC's "guts", breaking it, then fixing it, then breaking something else, then fixing it, then trying to update drivers and breaking the driver install, etc. It is funny to see it happening to someone else after having been there more than a decade ago. Ahhhh to be young and curious again...or in duo's case, bi-curious.

It's not the n00bs fault, Windows 7 is just pure gay. Not even worth it for $FR.EE!

Not true. The Win7 Ultimate 32bit cracked version I have been running on a 2 year-old laptop works great for what I need it for (school, general browsing). Still on old faithful (XP Pro) on the main desktop though. I shudder to think when the day comes to leave her behind, the same way I got misty-eyed when I had to leave Win2kPro for XP Pro. :(

I guess I'll revoke my not worth it for $FR.EE statement.. funny enough, the day after I said that I found out I get a free MS Technet subscription for being a Dell employee. So I get 10 free copies of... everything... I put 7 Ult. back on my computer and I suppose it makes a decent CSS and Starcraft 2 frontend. I got tired of Starcraft "running out of pool memory" from Windows XP - although I did figure out how to fix that later.

I just really hate their new networking gayness with Homegroup. It's nearly impossible to network with legacy Windows systems. That and it wouldn't even install on my brand new company laptop because it wouldn't see the SATA controller.

I can't wait until they put Steam onto Linux. And then nobody would have to worry about whether they should spend 300$ for a new Windows desktop theme. Viva la Penguin.
