Should have been a matter of just pulling the little plastic jumper out of the back and plugging it into the "Slave" slot instead of the "Master" one.
I meant to say something about that earlier but I got distracted.

Gonna try Jet's idea since I can boot from a flash drive too, see what happens from there. <_<
I might know someone who would have a spare HDD but I'm really the only one I know with hardware knowledge. :x

I tried installing XP via usb boot method, had more issues than trying with 7 :x
By Jetackuu 2012-05-31 19:38:29
oh yes, xp from usb is a pain.
ultra ata 133 I'm assuming, shouldn't be too hard to find.

Here's the thing, a while back I was trying to save all my mom's files and give her a new HDD, I did the exact same thing as today, but it just wouldn't boot, at all.. I take the drive out, it'd boot fine, but when that secondary was in there, it wouldn't.. The drive itself was good, and the computer was booting from the correct HDD..
Oh well, doesn't matter anymore, it worked, she's getting her stuff off, all is okay.

no optical drive? Optical drive as in writable? I have one of those, that's how I made my old Windows 7 Home CD. I got Ultimate from my sister.
I'm not burning CDs for installs because I don't have any blank ones or money for them :x

can you bum one from somebody?
a writable cd is about $0.10
I've attempted to install from booting from hirens, but I haven't seen a way to mount an image in mini-xp. However you can Install 7 just from the folder, you don't need it to be bootable, so you can just dump the 7 files into the root of the folder and access it while booting from hirens, on another note: you can install XP after and use easybcd to fiddle with the bootloader but it takes fiddling.
you can change your 7 disc by removing 1 file to make it any 7 version.

AMG Did you stop by the SCA booth thing, Mag? lol I did, but I didn't get a chance to introduce myself. Either your uncle wasn't wearing shiny armor this time, or he wasn't at the booth when I showed up. I did see the booth, though.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
