I finished the build of the new machine but because the Mobo changed, Vista will not accept the hard drive. It wants the OEM disk but when I put it in it does not reconize it.  I'll mess around with it some more tomorrow.I'll refrain from my usual MS rants ... this time  - D No only one drive. Let me know if you run across something. *** It's hailing like a MoFo right now. Been having soome weird weather. Nice andd cool though. Neeed battteries. EDIT: Ahh, that's better. Fresh batteries. Big thunderstorm going on. Have you ever seen a Great Dane try to hide under a coffee table?   The little dog is stuck to my leg. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Dataman at Jun 4, 2009 4:01:23 AM] |

I'm not sure what to do. It's a Vista 64-bit machine. I may just try to put an old XP drive in it. It does not matter that much for crunching. *** The AQUA job ended. 24.14 hours on a 9800GT and 30,524 credits. Happy HAPPY!! The batteries arre going dead on my keyboard ... I'm off to find some. Two things you can try: Try booting into safe mode (hold the F8 key right after the BIOS screen clears) If that doesn't work, boot off of the Vista CD an do a repair. It will find the right hard drive controller then, but it will be almost like a clean copy of Windows (maybe a good thing, though). One of those will work. AQUA scaled back their credits as you predicted, but they still give generously.  I have 3 wu's turned in so far, and it's 72K right now (when it updates). That's more than 6 months of SETI crunching... [edit] Oh yeah, awesome weather here today, too. Kind of misty and raining all day long. Not at all like a desert should be, and reminded me of my days growing up in Oregon. Must have something to do with global warming.

Wow - I've never received a message from the WGC admin before. He sure cleaned up mine and D's messages in the global warming debate. Can't even make sense of them now.
----------------------------------------I think D had more asterisk's then I did, though.

I think D had more asterisk's then I did, though. I would advise not getting on the wrong side of the admin folks. I am sure D is treading pretty thin water, perhaps more so because he is a CA. |

Well... hmm... maybe I shouldn't have posted that argument against the admin, then...

"**Edited for intolerance**tkh"
That's the first time I've ever seen that. Sounds a little bit Big Brother-esque. |
