WOW 😱 Did You Pay For 3DMark06 ??
Oh Boy I Never Buy For Any Program Except Windows XP !! ( That For 1 $ )
In Our Country You Can Buy A DVD With Full of Programs (Full Version)+ Windows XP (all Version ) For Only 2 or 3 $ :twisted:
That So Nice , Isnt ?
 
Yeah Ireland is a rip off, one of the most expensive countries in da world :x Anyway i didnt know you could get 3DMark for free 😳 thanks for lettin me know, ill check it out.
 
Hey rHy0 , Didnt You Have X850XT PE ?? and Played Most Wanted in MAX Detail ? Or Maybe I`m Just Talking About Some One Else ... :twisted:
 
well, i think he is refering to a different "free" than what you are saying... so for the full version w/ all the options available you need to pay for it in countries like yours or mine. You can of course find it at that "free" state online (bittorrent) but again, in countries that actually police piracy paying is really what you should do. Unfortunately what he is talking about is what is causing the real problems with needing DRM crap that forces us legit buyers into needing keys/cd checks etc... (hope i dont spark this into a DRM thread, not intending too here...)
 
Alright guys im having a problem reinstalling windows. When it got to the part where you choose the partitioned space on the the hard drive to install it on it told me that there was already a previous version of windows already on the partition and that it wouldnt be safe to install another one!!? Can you guys help me out? thanks.
 
it should say taht there is a previous install and then say something like "if you install you will lose all data... blah blah" It still gives you the option to install you just have to hit a different key to proceed. this is normal, and windows does this to make sure you know that you are wiping all info off of the old partition... kinda CYA proceedure for them and u. Go ahead and do it though cause you dont want what is on there... it is bad anyway. 😉
 
Okay now im getting 3 options "Format the partition using the NTFS file system(Quick), "Format the partition using the NTFS file system" or Leave the current file system intact(no changes)?? I never came across before so what do i select??
 
quick format is faster and prb ok for you, the other format is slower but wipes everything much better... if you have the time do that one, but the quick will be ok if you have a newer drive that has not been re-done a bunch of times already. Leaving the filesystem intact is just that... and you dont want to do that cause you want it all gone. 😉
 
Okay its copying files now. The only one concern i have now is that bout an hour ago it decided to try the Repair Windows installation option just to check it out but it basically went through the whole installation from scratch but differently. Worst was when i logged to reboot and install a message came up saying that my registry key had expired or sumtin like that and that id need to enter a new one!!? Does this mean that will happen now when iv done a proper clean install!? or will it basically be as if i was registering windows for the first time??
 
it will act like registering for the first time... but when you do it should just connect to the internet and be fine cause it will recognize that it is the same system (hardware wise) if you have any issues you will have the option of calling m$ and confirming w/ them that it is the same system. I have had to do that once and they were actually really cool about it and all went fine.

either way it will work for ya pretty easy.
