<0> Anything any of you are about to think of suggesting forget it, been there, done that... that's the problem :P
<1> iv had that happen before, tried new cd, worked
<2> figured it would be easier than asking if the files were there
<2> :)
<3> br0adband what OS does it have on it now ?
<3> anything ?
<0> Nothing, and I can't get XP installed on it to save my life
<1> its not like a dell and needs a special configured os does it?
<3> no
<4> why not install 2000 on your lappy and pop it back in?
<0> ?? xpinstall <<<--- And I wrote this definition and my own method doesn't work
<4> 2000 shouldnt have a prob with diff hardware
<2> is it a slipstreamed ?
<5> instead of the 98 boot disk , try the xp boot disk
<4> and go from there i guess
<0> It's just one of those things that simply defy all logical and explanations... it *should* have worked last night and the 40+ times I've tried this...
<1> is it a larger than 80gig hd?
<0> Yes, no, and no
<4> i guess you already tried that
<0> 19:00:09 Pacific time
<2> try a non slipstream version ?
<0> Are you trying to help or make it worse? :P
<2> if it's a bug of a service pack.. help
<2> ;)
<6> heya BB
<4> take the cdrom outa your lappy ;p
<6> hi mill
<2> howdy barry
<3> br0adband, just take a big **** on it and tell your wife its fuct :)
<0> I don't have an UltraBay caddy, if I did that's how I would have installed it
<5> ?? drunk0rzone
<3> ?? fuct
<7>
<6> i dun drink
<4> so you tried installing 2000 on another laptop?
<5> ?? lies
<7>
<0> I'm tempted to do a network install from my machine to hers but honestly I've never done it before nor do I know if it would work at all
<6> soory i guess i do
<5> ?? barryh
<4> and popping the hdd into her lappy
<3> !learn fuct [21:59] <+br0adband> It's just one of those things that simply defy all logical and explanations... it *should* have worked last night and the 40+ times I've tried this...
<4> to many yes and no's.. getting confused ;p
<1> jeez
<0> Two laptops, one 40GB drive for the ThinkPad that has no CD drive nor floppy... dead in the water
<3> now thats "fuct"
<3> :)
<3> ok wait
<3> why does she want XP ?
<1> find a usb cd drive
<3> All the **** she does is talk on irc anyways
<0> Yeah, right, find the parts I need... sure thing, I'll just run out and steal it from Fry's or something
<8> haha dude I thought I had a 6.0/768 connection
<3> (x can support irc
<1> some mobos just wont take xp
<8> turns out they've upped the limits and it's actually 8.0/768
<3> 9X
<1> no matter how how you try to instal it
<4> didnt she have xp on it before?
<0> The laptop has had XP on it in the past many times
<1> ug
<1> maybe the silly thing is just dying
<3> how did you get it on before ?
<0> We had a CD drive
<3> rent a portable one
<4> or win some money in a casino and purchase one
<3> or just use a USB2 kit to Cdrom
<4> so many possibilites in vegas
<4> ;p
<3> simple
<0> Bleh... always the smart remarks and no real help :P
<1> usb kit
<5> bb does the laptop have a usb port ?
<3> it should
<0> Yes, yes, and yes, and no no no money no nothing to do anything with
<3> ........
<3> USB kit is like 20$
<3> if that
<0> What part of "no money" didn't you comprehend? :)
<3> its 20$ here in canada
<5> goto to fry's and spend 60.00 on a cd drive . they sell them refurbished and work like brand new , if ya got the money to spare
<3> "no money"
<3> ..........
<3> well how do you eat then?
<0> We bought groceries
<3> or live?
<3> ooo
<9> $60 for a drive?
<9> its half the price
<5> not for an external one tink
<5> ive already gone to fry's and looked awhile back
<0> Doesn't matter, it still wouldn't solve the problem
<5> and bought one
<5> call up ibm bb
<3> any internal drive you have can be converted into a external with a usb2 kit
<3> we do it all the time at work
<0> Maybe I just need to go walking around and find someone with a ThinkPad... "Excuse me, could I borrow your UltraBay drive for like, 40 minutes... thanks"
<5> does the laptop have a bay ?
<3> br0adband, your smart how can you have "no money"
<0> Of course, it's a ThinkPad
<0> AnacondAX: It's called moving to a new city and paying the ****ing rent and buying food, dumb*** :P
<3> "dumb***"
<3> .........
<0> I'd kick you if I could get Opped, yanno
<3> no you wouldn't
<5> ibm and gateway bays are not the same , i take it . i have a spare drive
<5> was trying to find it and give ya the part number
<0> Himeko is sending us a DVD UltraBay drive but it'll be two weeks before that gets here, or longer
<0> Copying the i386 to the hard drive then putting that hard drive in the machine and running winnt.exe should do it... there's no reason it shouldn't, but it just keeps crapping out on me for no good reason
<3> whats the error ?
<0> NTLDR is missing
<5> did you try checking the drive for errors ?
<0> The drive is fine, the files are there, everything is as it should be but it simply won't continue the install
<0> I put that same drive right back in the Dell and *wham* the installation begins as expected... but in the ThinkPad it stalls
<0> Tiny balls there, izz
<0> hehe
<3> did you try reseting the BIOS defaults ?
<5> the winxp cd your using is it made for a specif machine ?
<0> If I showed you the checklist of stuff I've tried you'd run screaming
<0> Nope, standard Corp SP2
<3> I know what to do BB
<5> try the original xp
<3> :)
<2> See
<10> head actually.
<2> I aint the only one to suggest that idea now
<3> Call MS and say WTF
<3> :)
<10> call MS and say GF!
<3> hahahaha
<3> or ****in GF!
<2> just make sure you run a firewall and then update if it works
<10> bah i better keep cleaning up or this house is enver going to be fit to live in
<3> U gno BB it will be somthing simple
<3> 1 thing you will have to chane and then it works
<3> always the same story
