When you put the Windows disks in, and the boot screens come up, do you click "boot from floppy drive"?

Garbanian · 08-6-2006, 12:05 AM

falconsfan14 · 08-6-2006, 02:06 PM

Well you know what anime freak, not that many people have the money to do that. He has a serious problem here and youre just ****ing up the thread so shut the hell up. God i know why i put you on my block list before.

On topic. Take it to the geek squad, sounds stupid, but so far no one here can help. Maybe they can =/ But if it going to cost more than 200 dollars dont do it. Thats when you buy a new computer.

Animefreak999 · 08-6-2006, 02:09 PM

geek squad can help alot, and i was just kidding about the new computer thing

Garbanian · 08-6-2006, 05:40 PM

I thought of Geek Squad too, but they said its 249.99 + tax, which at 14 i dont have >.< I was thinking of getting a new compie, one that can handle what i have in my computer now, besides te hard drive and processor, i need new ones >.< I will just put my video card, sound card, ect in it, but thats still like 300-500, which i dont have either....

ToshX · 08-6-2006, 05:53 PM

If you get a new computer, for God's sake, don't transfer over what was in your harddrive.

Odds are it was caused by a virus. Now you don't want to mess up the new computer.

Garbanian · 08-6-2006, 06:13 PM

I said i wasnt gonna transfer my hard drive, that and my processor, if i get a new comp, im just gonna get a nice hard drive and processor and transfer my video card, sound card ect... Whos tps btw >.<

Geek squad sucks.

I've had to fix 13 computers that had been worked on by them (I work at a computer repair shop)

What OS are you running? S ince it's 5 years old, I'm guessing it's 2000 or 98.

Unless you upgraded to XP. Which on a 5 year old comp, is going to run slooooow.

Probably not a virus just catastophic failure from oldness. If you found it tucked away I'm guessing it had a lot of dust and stuff in it. Dust and grime is one of the undermentioned major reasons why computers malfunction.

Also maybe your ps2 and usb ports has gone bad. (Happens more than you think)

You should definitely spring for a new comp.

You can get one 10x as good as you probably have for about $300.

Garbanian · 08-7-2006, 02:36 PM

no right now im on a 5 year old comp, MY computer (the broke one) is only a year old, it has XP home edition....and i dont have no 300 dollars IM 14!

IAAW · 08-7-2006, 03:01 PM

Why don't you just reboot your computer?

Animefreak999 · 08-7-2006, 03:04 PM

save money to buy new comp. by mowing, washing cars, random odd jobs, etc. thats how i got my laptop and im 14. take this in to consideration.

GuidoHunter · 08-7-2006, 03:08 PM

Please, for everyone's good, don't go to the Geek Squad (I mean, I know you weren't considering it too seriously to begin with, but for emphasis...). I don't know what to do about your computer, but this is my advice.
