2. When the emachine logo appears, push every button from F1 to F12. a screen should appear...tell me when you do this, u can seriously screw up here.

1.windows xp 2. ok ill go there, it says phoenixBIOS Setup Utility.

[Hex]

I think I still may be able to help without the model

Anyway, does it look like this?



If it does, goto Tools using the arrow keys and select "Hard drive self test", then (if it asks) select "Comprehensive", if not it should attempt to do a self-test. Post what it says.

[redguardian]

sorta but it doesnt have tools... it has power and boot plus the other stuff u showed.

[Hex]

Good, it's the same as my old computer, so I can help ya.

Ok, goto main, and tell me what it says for Primary master, primary slave, secondary master, and secondary slave.

ok i gone ahead and bought a new computer... i put the old hard drives data onto this one so it had nothing to do with the hard drives but now i have another problem... i had a password on the hard drive that had my new rg clay image on it and it won't let me in!!! it won't even let me type in the old password... can you help me with that?
ps thank you for helping me would you like me to make a clay image of your charector, hex?

[Hex]

Windoze, it's called that for a reason =P Anyway, try loading a live linux cd (www.knoppix.com, i think) on to your computer, it doesn't see windows "profiles", therefore you should be able to just open them and save them to a new name on the new HD.

By the way, if you want to play around with the old one a little, push enter on the primary master, and select anything with "HD" in it, if not, your actual hard disk might have come disconnected.



PS: o.o really! sure, i'd love it! (furbase.bigfurs.com/index.php?FurID=1459)

Ive done small doodles, nothing more. He does have a 4 foot long tail, four fingers and a thumb on his hands, and three-toed feet. He also has wings. You can forget the white t-shirt and jeans, just don't do "adult" stuff (kinda obvious though )
