ok, half (thx scan :@) of my new computer came teusday, so i built what i could, tried to install win xp, and i needed a floppy drive installed for it to detect the sata seagate. so i have to wait till wednesday for the other bits and bobs.
So i was installed winxp on the saturday, and it couldnt read the disc (thax paddy) as it had holes and chips in, so i had to skip loads of files (about 20 :/). finally got it up and workin, and it was ok for, oooh i'd say 6 mins? then it went crap, kept blue screening, and locking up. i tried soft moddding my SE, and that enabaled all 8 lines (yippee) but the blue screening was drivin me mad, so i formatted again... 5 times! now its been formatted and im waiting for my mate to bring his own xp disc. on the bright side, a sexual mod is selling me ahis audigy, and amazon are 60 quid richer but 1 set of senn's 500's less.
ah well, gotta love pc's aint ya
