Lol I bought this for 19.99 when it went down to 29.99.....used that $10 off coupon at BB. I certainly have gotten my money out if it. My bro however just bought it for 29.99 to play multiplayer..
lol
DOH!!!
freezer trick.....stick your not booting or clicking hard drive into the freezer for about 30 minutes. Pop it in the computer, and boot it. Frankly it's a complete crapshoot. I've used it at a 50/50ish rate (I only did it once on my drive, and it worked. Worked for a bunch of customers too)...
Only real failures I've had....
Old Gateway rig with a 486DX33, replaced it with a 100mhz "overdrive" chip......overheated and killed either the mobo or expanded the pin holes.
Asus Geforce3 64mb card. Horrid card.....fan clogged up and died. Replaced it with a 486 cooler from radioshack...
Okay, check this out.
Sandisk 512mb Sansa player, pretty good reviews on it, basic player w/voice record and radio.
$99 bucks at Best Buy Sansa 512 MB
Now this isn't advertised, but it automatically comes with a $50 gift card to BB. Hot deal in itself.
Now, your best bet is it go to...

Sad....I had a 5yr warr one in my cart for 371, HAD to go to work (got a call to come in) and emailed it to myself. AND DIDN'T "get around to it" during the day......
back to the dying 9 yr old 21" crt....
Well, I've tried all that. Absolutely no luck. Anyone else have any suggestions? It's not even giving a NTLDR error. Just gives a black screen with a cursor in the upper left.
Ideas?
Jst thought I'd let you all know the reply I got over at arstechnica.....or rather garnered from this thread. Doesn't solve WHY my nice image doesn't work right but gives an AWESOME solution to installing on a system that doesn't have a cd/floppy drive.
Ars No CD/Floppy XP Install Linky...
Hey all got a 2nd hand IBM x30. Drive had failed in it, replaced the drive, spent about 3 days getting windows installed. You see the IBM x30 has no floppy and no CD drive.
Replacement drive did have bad sectors already, and the other night it made the death clicks (sharp clunking). Went out...
