<ManKind> you can't
<sru02> ?
<bofh`> you can't use it on your computer unless you buy another OS first
<ManKind> you need to buy a full version for your PC
<sru02> what is upgrade for then
<bofh`> or jsut buy a full version, as ManKind said
<ManKind> upgrading from a past license that you own
<ManKind> not that someone else owns
<sru02> its my comp and my parents\
<ManKind> yes
<ManKind> 2 computers, 1 license
<ManKind> not valid
<sru02> no no
<gavi0> i was d.c
<sru02> they bought a new comp with media center
<sru02> i wanna use that xp pro upgrade on it - its also the computer i use sometimes
<ManKind> sru02 and that license is bound to that PC
<sru02> my laptop came with XP pro from dell
<ManKind> you said there was nothing on the PC you were building
<gavi0> sru02 do u have a computer with win98 installed that u can put the new xp cd to see if it the install page comes up?
<gavi0> maybe a friend?
<sru02> i can buy another upgrade from school for $12 if need be
<Treval> lol I can gavi. :O
<gavi0> Treval go 4 it
<Treval> Oh.. er >>
<gavi0> lol
<Treval> Naw, too busy.
<ManKind> to use upgrade, you require an existing license on your PC
<en1gma> hi all
<en1gma> has anyone ever used 2 seperate psu in 1 box? if so is there anything special that needs to be done or any dos and donts?
<ManKind> en1gma how are you planning on triggering the 2nd to turn on when you hit the power button
<en1gma> i think ill just leave it set to on all the time
<en1gma> and unplug it when i dont need it
<en1gma> ManKind you still here
<gavi0> en1gma that should be fine
<en1gma> do i need to make sure they both have the same ground or can i just lay one outside my computer box?
<sru02> can u disable that media center menu thing and just start up in cl***ic view like xp pro/home
<gavi0> en1gma your motherboard will not suport 2 grounds
<en1gma> hmmmm
<blackdevl> sru02 is it media center 2005 ?
<gavi0> en1gma as long as ur devices are having power, and the ide going to the same board, it will be fine
<sru02> believe so
<en1gma> so what would happen if i put both psu in 1 box
<sru02> computer only 2 days old
<blackdevl> sru02 then it is already xp pro
<sru02> but i dont like that initial start up menu system - my music/mymovies/my tv...
<blackdevl> so take it out of startup
<blackdevl> you are gonna format and reinstall because of that?
<blackdevl> are you crazy
<blackdevl> i got media center and mine doesnt do that
<sru02> ill just keep media center of i can disable that
<blackdevl> just remove it from startup
<sru02> someone told me u couldnt disable that
<sru02> ok
<blackdevl> um
<blackdevl> (@blackdevl) i got media center and mine doesnt do that
<sru02> im on my laptop - ill try when i get home
<en1gma> ok i have a possible problem then cause i was going to use 1psu just for mboard (ram) and vcard with the extra connector on card then i was going to use other (outside psu) with 4 sata drives
<blackdevl> tjheres your proof
<sru02> i meant at best buy they told me that
<blackdevl> looooooooooooooooool
<blackdevl> you actually asked someone in best buy for computer advice and took it seriously?
<en1gma> lol
<gavi0> en1gma again, as long as the ides are going to ur board, than it will be fine
<gavi0> blackdevl the geek sqquad
<gavi0> ?????????/
<Ason> Why so loud gavi0? Keep it down!
<gavi0> hahahahahaha
<en1gma> why are ides special for doing that
<blackdevl> yeah, they are any better
<en1gma> ide drives are have to have case ground?
<gavi0> en1gma ur data must be transfered, if ides are disconencted nothign will be transered
<sru02> lol
<en1gma> ;)
<CyberGeek> :)
<gavi0> en1gma how do u play on powering the other psu on?
<gavi0> plan*
<en1gma> im leaving the orig psu the way it is (just like in your box i presume) but then i need to add a psu to power 4 internal sata drives that will be in raid0 stripe
<en1gma> oooooo
<en1gma> shiat
<en1gma> nm that will work i think
<gavi0> en1gma u need a switch to turn the psu on
<gavi0> some older psus have this, but they arent usually atx
<en1gma> can i run the psu "POWER SW" wires over the other ones too
<gavi0> u mean add them togehter
<gavi0> ?
<en1gma> yep yep
<gavi0> i would not do that if i were u
<gavi0> if it shortd it can fire up and blow ur compter up, or simly just short the board
<Janger> ?

<Chadder> Whats the best way to smooth out your wireless signal so you dont get dropped while gaming online all the time?
<ManKind> how often does your wireless drop?
<Chadder> every 5 mins or so
<Chadder> gets kind of annoying sometimes.
<Chadder> lolz
<Chadder> 5-10 mins i'd say.
<Chadder> quite frequently.
<Chadder> well actually, to tell you the truth, it varies. but once it starts to go every 5-10 then it does it for awhile. You usually are only lucky when you can game longer.
<ManKind> EMI coudl cause that, shoddy hardware could cause that
<ManKind> you could try boosting your signal. i also recommend you attempt a firmware update on your wireless device
<Chadder> Good idea, I have the DI624 (AirPlusG) router.
<roto> ewww dlink
<ManKind> yes ewww
<Chadder> lol
<Chadder> i know
<ManKind> is it new
<Chadder> not new enough to return.
<Chadder> or else i would have gotten a better one.
<ManKind> go get a linksys wrt54g
Return to
