i had a second computer but it (past tense of commit) suicide… now im building new one but im having trouble and i have completely different thread on that somewhere around here.

again its the creativity thing.

ok so now i turn on the computer and it says media failure reboot and select correct boot or insert media disk so i put in the emachines windows xp disk (the comp IS emachines) and it says system recovery! harddisk not found system recovery failed press any key to continue and it shuts off. and before i put the disk in i hit f1 f2 f11 and delete and nothing happened.

@Admiral: > You know, flash drives (those USB thumb drives) are alot cheaper than cds these days; and most are 2GB or more. > > Anyway, I suppose the situation then, is that it won't let you install any programs? yes i cant install programs but i actually just thought about it and i dont think this would work so w/e ill try that flash drive thing that sounds cool.

@Admiral: > YES! > That is the type of mentality we need. If everyone simply stopped working on their ideas, or got upset that nobody else liked their ideas, what would this world be? > > If you think the idea is cool, screw what everyone else says! Go for it! > > PS: I'm going to move this to the g@me Design board. well none of you guys know me so i don't see why people judge, and if they do judge Carma will one day catch up besides i think its a good idea and i could easily see it in my mind that its freaking sweet. unfortunately i can't make it (long story) but whatever P.S. thanks im new and couldnt judge where this would go.

obliviously its not as cool to everyone else i thought it was but i really don't care i thinks its cool. :cheesy:

well i cant access the user accounts on the control panel there is no other accounts (no actual admin my cousins a douche and deleted it.) but this hack you speak of grabs my attention so i shall google.

oh i see what you mean it says its CS

 thats mine it only has 6 of the little needle things. does this mean its master or single drive?

let me explain so its easier to understand my situation (i detect some curiosity) I received a used laptop from my cousin with one user account on it. i know theres only 1 because it says so in a million different places. this 1 account (account "A") is NOT a admin its a limited user account. i already have many important things on this computer. in order to get a admin i need use the system recovery disk. i want to keep all my files so i need some cd's. i need money to get cd's im in overdraft and can hardly buy food let alone a luxury such as cd's. i need to get more money so i can get cd's so i can put all my files on cd's so i can run system recovery so i can get a admin account account so i can run the library file installation so i can make games. this for those of you that don't know is a very long process. including getting more money, this is a 3 month long process at least. also i have around 12 gigs of stuff on this computer. each cd usually holds about 700 mb of space. my e drive is broken and i need a new one. again money thing. each disk would probably take 6 minutes to put memory on judging by the speed of this computer 6x13=78 78m=1:18m+amount of time for any other problems= alot. i believe i have explained enough

how do i tell if the bios is on or off?

if you know me i don't work on games because a series of unfortunate events lead to me being unable to download the library files it would take a lot of time and money neither of which i have to fix these events so it would be great if someone would do similar to making the already downloaded and installed library files into a rar upload them to any file sharing site and sending the the link to those files so that i may join the community in helping with creating games. i understand if you think this is way too much work but it would be greatly appreciated. Also if there is a problem with this please notify me on how to solve this problem any way other then installing the library files.

i was thinking you know what would be a fun game? if instead of the regular fighting monsters with swords and stuff there should be a game where you gather money (somehow) and buy computer parts from stores around the world and make a super computer. obviously there are several flaws like what you would do with or on the computer or how to make money but i couldn't care less i'm just throwing this out there to any creative person willing to give it a shot. if you do decide to do this lemme know id love to play.

im more of a software person not a hardware guy but i decided to start making a computer by finding spare parts and stuff. i spent about a year finding stuff and i finally added the last piece of the "puzzle" the hard disk. i added just like the google images showed me (yes i googled don't judge) but i turned on the computer and added the windows xp disk and it said hard disk was not found. Help me whats the matter? The hard disk was from a broken computer so i took it to one of those places that sweep the memory or whatever could the problem be the hard disk is broken? Stuff on sticker: 512 mb ddr 400mhz cl3 hynix and a jumble of letters and numbers that are too long for effort.
