iloveboxcars Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 question. when it comes to burning an OS to a disk, can i just make a data disk or do i need to burn as an image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 question. when it comes to burning an OS to a disk, can i just make a data disk or do i need to burn as an image? it should come as an .iso, right click and open with nero. burn at a lower speed 12x should be fine. i just added a partition using partition magic. took all of 30 minutes. now i'm going to load win2k on the second so i can use the crappy mccrapson 3d stuff. dammit.

iloveboxcars Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 ok, so the reformat is all finished, but everything is going pretty slow. when i scroll down web pages i get the "scroll wave".. if you know what i mean. any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HydrogenPeroxide Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 all of a sudden my dvd drive and all of my virtual drives stopped showing up when i open My Computer. i get this when i run the add hardware thingy: Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) so im going to reinstall the drivers. and for the virtual drives, just uninstall and reinstall daemon tools?

iloveboxcars Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 wait a second. i knew that shit was too short. it just replaced regular xp. i read about it and the internets told me reformatting happens automatically when you reinstall the os.

iloveboxcars Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 so i re-installed tinyxp, only this time i chose "delete c: partition" it seemed off but it was the only option i could find that was similar to reformat. so now im re-downloading partition magic to try and get that shit back.

NTFS, no the quick format. the other. then you let the install begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboxcars Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 so what you're saying is i should reinstall and then make a new partition via that screen? or since im up and running already can i use partition magic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iloveboxcars Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 so opera came with tinyxp and i must say other than it saying it is going to remember my information, such as handle/pw's, and then not, i like it more than firefox. plus im sure i just need to go into settings and change some stuff. only thing it seems to not have that firefox did is the auto-spell check thing. but im sure they'll bust out with that pretty soon here.

potholder Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 if opera offered adblock plus + easylist/easyelement filters, and noscript, I'd be using it alot more. I've just become so used to certain extensions that I can't fully switch yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
