Brenda Starrr Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Does anyone have a disk they can loan me? Right now, we have Linux. I'm really hating it. It's just..........BAD. I'd prefer XP, but won't bitch if it's something else. I just cannot STAND this OS anymore.... Thanks!
DeadBurgerKing (10) Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 All I have are my system restoration disks and a M.E. upgrade, but you need a version of windows to use it...I'm sorry
Msterbeau Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 I'll bring my XP Home discs next week. You have your activation code right? You can't use mine.
Scary Guy Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 I figured you fixed this problem by now. I've got XP pro, you can even use my key :D (my key hasn't been around the block, IT IS THE BLOCK). "The requirements on the box it said 'windows 98 or better' so I installed Linux"
Troy Spiral (13) Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 The software really isnt the problem, its the activation code. (which i dont have a spare one of) hopefully scary can hook u up. Damn thief pirates. :pirate
Brenda Starrr Posted May 6, 2007 Author Posted May 6, 2007 I'll bring my XP Home discs next week. You have your activation code right? You can't use mine. No. I don't have an activation code. And I'm relatively sure that my ex won't let me have his. I figured you fixed this problem by now. I've got XP pro, you can even use my key :D (my key hasn't been around the block, IT IS THE BLOCK). I just can't seem to get used to Linux. I really tried, SG. I keep trying to like it for the sake of my son, who installed it.
Scary Guy Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 I just can't seem to get used to Linux. I really tried, SG. I keep trying to like it for the sake of my son, who installed it. It takes getting used to. Different command interface, syntax, and file system are the largest speed bumps in the learning curve. My advice is to make a partition and have it dual boot windows or linux. Gives your kid a new project and makes you both happy.

"The requirements on the box it said 'windows 98 or better' so I installed Linux" Any chance anyone else can make use of this offer?? I'd like to upgrade a laptop from Win2000 Pro to Win XP Pro.
Fierce Critter Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 O.k. I don't usually tell someone they should pirate software. But take my situation. Have a perfectly legal eMachine that came with a perfectly legal copy of XP. Never used, was in perfect condition, stored properly, etc. So I'm having so much trouble with this PC, the only option really left to me is a full factory restore. No problem, right? I spend days transferring all my files to an external hard drive. Make sure everything is ready to go. I pop in that CD and start the restore. And after about 5 all-nighters trying to get it to work, along with the generous help of a DGN'er tecchie with MOUNTAINS of patience, the bottom line is - the disk is corrupted and totally unuseable. Fuck it. So I open up Bitcomet and snag this. It works - perfectly. PER. FECT. LY. Up to you. But with one change. Screw Bitcomet. I use Azureus Vuze now. MUCH faster.

Brenda Starrr Posted July 6, 2007 Author Posted July 6, 2007 Marc needs to get his ancient ass back home and show me his disk. And thank you as well, Mark!
Msterbeau Posted July 6, 2007 Posted July 6, 2007 Marc needs to get his ancient ass back home and show me his disk. And thank you as well, Mark! I'll show you my disk. I have a very big hardrive. *Laughs like Beavis*
Scary Guy Posted July 7, 2007 Posted July 7, 2007 Yeah I've got lots of RAM and my hard disk is huge! OK I lied about the ram, it's only 512 MB but I do plan to upgrade soon. I heard Marc only had a floppy disk though would any of the ladies here care if i sniffed their packets? I like to fsck all night too. (ok I'm out of computer related double entendres)
