ok, heres a question

[NaughtyGirl21]

Instead of me trying to do that bios thing on my computer I just did it on this one and was going to install xp on this one with the new hard drive. When I put the cd in it runs and everything and loads hardware files and such. When it says starting windows to install it then it pops up that I have to insert the cd, but its already in there. I push enter and it still says the same thing so I took out the cd and put it back in and pushed enter again but it still says the same thing...What do I do? Am I suppose to still have the other drive hooked up along with the new on, because I unhooked that on and set the new on as master?

Please if someone out there knows what the problem is let me know. I do not want to have to go take my computer to someone to get it done for like $400.

[otepsoul]

no idea

[NaughtyGirl21]

no idea
Thats ok

[gumercules]

you sure you're not missing a disk?

[NaughtyGirl21]

yes I am sure. It only comes with one disk. I used that xp disk on this computer before and it worked. But I don't know how to get it started on my new hard drive. I had it installed, used the hard drive disk and so on but cant install anything....errrr.

[skylinec]

the company problaly fucked up and gave you the wrong disk

[junglizm]

this is the only answer, do it now.

sorry, you just seem really hopeless with this whole problem.

p.s. are you sure the cd isn't an upgrade cd? if it is it'll ask for a previous microsoft OS disk to be inserted. read the message boxes and be more specific, if you expect help.

[NaughtyGirl21]

the company problaly fucked up and gave you the wrong disk
What are you talking about? I am not talking about the disk that came with the hard drive, I am talking about the windows xp disk. I have used that disk before on other computers just fine but I am trying to install it to a new hard drive that has nothing up there yet. I can't coppy from another drive because its not my drive to do that. The drive I had is completely messed up so I cannot use that to coppy either. I am just trying to start off new but cannot seem to know how. If I were to coppy files from another drive to the new on, will it delet files off the old one, or will it stay the same?

[vicodincasserole]

ill send you a copy of my xp cd... or even better some linux cds

[RGN-dRaGoN]

sorry, idk wat to do here, im not that good with computer software or windows in general :sad:

[NaughtyGirl21]

Please can anyone focus on this question?

If I were to coppy files from another drive to the new one, will it delet files off the old one, or will it stay the same to where I can use it on another computer with same files and all?

[junglizm]

no copying files from one drive to another won't delete the other files. just make sure you don't overwrite anything. witht that said, if you don't know what you're doing, you're likely going to fuck it up. again you're not being specific, what files do you want to copy? the system file IE the windows installation? or are you just trying to copy of documents and mp3's and such. you can't just copy over installed programs either.

Who told you that you had to read this and post here anyway you fucking noob? Fuck off!

[jonnyrotten]

i'm not invited...you know my whole life i wasn't invited...such a sad tale of woe

[Lexx_D]

Cuddle if you PM me a detailed list (or post it here) of what you are trying to do, I should be able to help. It really doesn't seem like that big of a problem, but without knowing exactly what you are doing and trying to do (big difference) I can't help.

[junglizm]

she's already been given great advice by about five other people. she can't post specific details, so it's pretty hard for us to help with vague descriptions. most of the computer savvy people here have already tried to help, she's been told how to fix her problem, but ignored the advice.
Instead of me trying to do that bios thing on my computer I just did it on this one and was going to install xp on this one with the new hard drive.

maybe you can help her though, good luck.

[Lexx_D]

It is really simple to press del/F2 depending on model to enter the BIOS and set the CD drive to boot first (normally under boot device or somethin of that nature). Or just pop the disk in, and choose new install and set up the old HD as slave to copy over any important files.

The second must be done by right clicking My Computer>manage>disk management, then click on the drive that says foriegn (this would be the slave drive) and right click the drive and select import.

One last thing when It asks you for (you say the CD) it might be asking you to point the Operating system/Installation program to where the installation files are which would be on your CD in the %CDDrive%:\I386 folder.

Just my 2 cents

you just repeated what everyone else has told her. the computer management things isn't a must though, the slave should show up reguardless of what fs it's using. one good note though, the cd info was a good idea, that i didn't hink of at the time.

[knarf]

i havent the slightest clue cptn

[skylinec]

i havent the slightest clue cptn
yup yup

[Lexx_D]

Yea when I was done posting I read over the other thread she created.....so my bad

If she can't fix it with what we've told her shes just assed out. Those are really the only user friendly ways to do it........

From what I've seen with the Disk Management thingy....is that if the other HD acting as the slave has a primary partition with an OS on it you have to import it. Any other HD set as either slave or cable select with NO OS on it should be usable without any extra work.

(just from what I remember)

[NaughtyGirl21]

Excuse me, but I have tryed all those things and did not work. So all of your advices failed! Anyone else want to say something smart now huh! You all are fucking asshats....(well not all of you)...But some. My IBM Computer is different I found out when I took it to get it done. I tryed all those things you said, plus I tryed installing the old hard drive from another computer on to mine and did not work. Oh I also tryed to ghost it...(you know copy from another hard drive)...did not work either. So what I am saying all the advices you all gave me did not help one bit...Sorry to tell you that guys. So I am letting the real pros do it for about $75.00 including putting windows on it and other programs.

So could one of the Mods please close this thread!

[Lexx_D]

LOL if you look at some of the occupations of people (found in the upper right hand corner of their post) you can see that the ones that gave advice were REAL professionals. First of all, without an accurate discription of the problem (like in detail) its kinda hard to figure out why its not working. Sometimes I have people list the things in order of what they are doing to see where the problem lies or as any other PROFESSIONAL administrator will tell you "have the user recreate the problem in front of you" Thats basic admin 101. I'm sure there are other people that are going to ask this question too but (someone please correct me if im wrong) HOW IN THE FUCK IS YOUR IBM/INTELL COMPUTER DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER INTELL COMPUTERS OUT THERE???? Unless your running a Xeon LOL! yours should be the same. And for friends I normally charge about $50 and hr so your gettin an ok deal for really 5 seconds worth of actual troubleshooting and about an hour and a half of clicking next, next, continue, next lol

Uh lets see, I am paying some one $25 an hour, a hell of alot cheaper than you. And Two I just said what was wrong dumb ass. My IBM is an older model, and it is a reconditioned on at that. So therefore yes it was a piece of shit when I bought it for $300 but had no choice because I needed one. And for the last fucking time I said that:

1) When I first got my new 80gig hard drive, I could not install it on mine because I tryed all the bottons on the keyboard looking for the bios to pop up and it didn't.

2) I decided to instead becuase I could not get my cdRom to run first, to do it on this computer to run Windows xp disk to get it started but the xp disc was not working. When I hooked up the new hard drive as master and took the other out, I ran xp disc and a blue screen poped up and read all the hard ware stuff then ath agreement thing came up. After I pushed F8 to agree, a new thing pops up and says to put a windows cd in and pust enter to continue but I kept doing that and it would just say the same thing over and over again.

3) I tryed ghosting from this hard drive to the new one. It worked and I took out the old one on this computer to see it the new one worked and ran the programs and it did just fine. Then I took it back out put the old one back in and took the new one to my computer and put it in and said disk error, or can't read disk, something like that. So I don't know what the fuck it the problem so I took it to get it done for $25 an hour....A Hell Of A Lot Better than Your $50 an HOUR BULLSHIT!

right, 4 people who make a living working on computers (more than just trivial issues like yours) give you advice. it doesn't work and you blame them, bravo yo're a fucking genius. you fucked up or ignored everything we told you to do. blame yourself for having to pay $75, not our advice. i love how you cry for the mods to close a thread when you're proven wrong.

all pc's are ibm compatable, not ibm new enough to run windows would be any different, nice try though.



1) When I first got my new 80gig hard drive, I could not install it on mine because I tryed all the bottons on the keyboard looking for the bios to pop up and it didn't.

you're inability to enter the BIOS doesn't mean it's impossible, only that you should RTFM next time and save your money and our intelligence.

lol, you should just give up at computers, seriously. $25/hr would lead me to believe a less experienced person is working on said computer. i could be wrong though, i only do this for a living. but you seam to have an excellent grasp on how computers work. welcome to my ignore list moron.

um, if you really want to know I took it to this place called Technology Source Computer Sales and Service. Thats who charges $25 an hour. Who is an idiot now???? Oh and guess what??? Its fixed, I got it back yesterday :tongue:...Oh and another thing, my IBM happend to have a lock on it so I could not get to the bios. What a Fucking Idiot.

[Lexx_D]

Ummmm.....you, you still paid for it when we tried to tell you how to do it.

Didn't really give a shit that it was broke, I fix enough computers on a daily basis and get paid for it. I was just tryin to be nice.

Oh and another thing, my IBM happend to have a lock on it so I could not get to the bios.

<sarcasm>Was that a master lock by any chance?</sarcasm> Or a password lock?

If the bios was locked, that means "administrative password" was set. I wish I knew this before. I would have walked you through moving the Clear CMOS jumper to the clear position. That would have reset your bios to factory defaults, including wiping the password and allowing you access.

Thanks, if I would have known that it was locked, which I wish I would have, I probably would have been able to do it...lol.

[MaxPower]

Just look for the red jumper. depending on the mother board it would be something like:
1. move the red jumper from pins 2&3 to pins 1&2, then boot the machine.
2. Shut down.
3. Move it back to 2&3.
4. Reboot
5. Non-password protected access to bios, is now restored.

thanks, but I already had everything done to the computer and stuff. I had to go buy a new windows xp disc becuase mine had a scratch on it and would not finnish installing, it would stop and ask for a disc to be put in. But anyways, got that situated and everything. Thank you all for helping out.

i guess i'm an idiot because i couldn't fix a problem, that you coudn't properly convey to us. sorry you didn't know what you were talking about. i'm happy you only paid $25/hr instead of more, you're computer got fixed by an A+ certified idiot. i don't fix computers normally, i run a network of about 5,000 computers locally and admin more than a few remote sites. i've progressed beyond working at a computer sales and repair store. i actually work for a global IT company, we only handle corporate contracts.(that means no $25 quick fixes for the intenet princess) you've hurt my feelings and confidence deeply with your poor comunication skils and unintelligent/uncreative flames, i think i'll quit my job now(don't you work for minumun wage:)) and kill myself. i may be joining you in the minimum wage job market soon, keep that flame broiler warm for me. oh well, atleast i'm not a clueless teenager with a princess complex.

1) I am not a teenager
2) Shut The Fuck Up
3) Already solved my problem and Maxpower understands now
4) Stop being an irrogent asshole and get a life
5) Can't we all just now get a long

Thank you

[junglizm]

Already solved my problem and Maxpower understands now


yes i understand about the cmos jumper, it's usually JP1, had you conveyed your problem properly we could've helped. thanks princess.

[NaughtyGirl21]

If you read what I said earlier. "I did not know there was a lock on it until I took it to get it done". No one ever mentioned that maybe thats why I could not get into the bios

Um if it was password locked, the BIOS still would have come up just asked for a password before access to the menus.

Soooooooooo..........

This leads me to believe that she never even tried to change the boot sequence.

Anyway im done with this thread, I'm glad your shit works ............F.U.

No thats ok, I have had better offers, thank you for asking though.

By the way, meaning it was locked, I could not get the bios to come up. Not because of the password shit. It did not even come up asking for a password. Sooooooooo, Shut the Fuck up! becuase you don't know what I tryed Biaaatch........Why don't you ask your neighbors do to F.U....

Peace

[Lexx_D]

Hey

you're computer got fixed by an A+ certified idiot

I'm one of those.......was a good place to start.

By the way, meaning it was locked, I could not get the bios to come up.

Thats probably because the OEM screen (Dell, Gateway, IBM, the one that shows when the computer boots up) was comming up and not showing you the option to enter the setup.

[ChilianFuckFace]

I thought this problem was solved... and we were moving on? am i lost?

[NaughtyGirl21]

No your not lost, some people just can't stop talking shit thats all.

Hey



I'm one of those.......was a good place to start.

i'm also A+ certified, along with more than a few other certifications, i don't list any of my compt tia certs on my resume because they're worthless. comp tia certs don't mean shit, especially not A+. certifications in general don't meen shit, they say you can remember information until the test, that's all. i have MCSEs right now that are complete morons, they won't be here too much longer. i'm not sure what got you hired, but certifications rarely get anyone hired, especially with out experience or a degree.

[YUCK FOU!!!]

Instead of me trying to do that bios thing on my computer I just did it on this one and was going to install xp on this one with the new hard drive. When I put the cd in it runs and everything and loads hardware files and such. When it says starting windows to install it then it pops up that I have to insert the cd, but its already in there. I push enter and it still says the same thing so I took out the cd and put it back in and pushed enter again but it still says the same thing...What do I do? Am I suppose to still have the other drive hooked up along with the new on, because I unhooked that on and set the new on as master?

Please if someone out there knows what the problem is let me know. I do not want to have to go take my computer to someone to get it done for like $400.
listen fellow maggot i could probably help you but im not going to be able to explain sorry :(
