Ask Phil

Well I couldent say speccifically. But I would tell em to make sure everything is connected properly. Or it can be some compatibility issue and the BOIS cant reconize the parts.

 

If you can get to recovery console use this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314058

"Note If you try to obtain access to other folders, you may receive an "Access Denied" error message. Also, when you are using the Windows Recovery Console, you cannot copy a file from the local hard disk to a floppy disk. However, you can copy a file from a floppy disk or from a CD-ROM to a hard disk, and you can copy a file from one hard disk to another hard disk."

So I think you may have temporarily install another hard drive and then use the copy command. After leading it to the right directory.

 

That'd be cool, since I'm not that great at computer hunting, especially for gaming computers.

I'm looking for a system with around 2 gb ram, and a 250 GB or more hard drive with a gaming capability video card.

 

Ok whats your price range?

Hey peoples, "Ask Phil" is now the largest thread on the "Tech Support" form.

Thanks guys for helping me get A+ certified with giving me all you computer problems. Now that I'm A+ certified I'm going to get the Network+ certification so I can help you guys out with all your messed up internet problems. But keep your questions coming I still need more experience, I plan to get a job next summer.

 

No post in a while.....some one give me a challenge.

 

Hehe. Nice to see someone else around here that has their A+..other than myself

Well I don't actually have it yet, but I'm taking it in a month. Did you take the Cisco class, or did you buy books yourself?

 

oh thats cool hope you do good on the test. I learned some in school but i mostly studied myself with books. What book u using to study?

 

ha just because your got an A in computering does'nt mean i dont got 1 smart but =p let me ask 1 question - what is ghost definition in computering? p/s - it is very easy =p

 

Book?

http://cisco.netacad.net

 

ghost is from the program nortons ghost which transfers files to another hard drive (usully the entire hard drive) .

 

oh ok your in a course. But are you using a book?

 

I finnaly got a sig and its cool

 

got any good ways to reduse ram use besides ones posted in sticky that are easy for stupid people to do, or sorta hard ways that have guides? my comps getting pretty slow (probally my 512mb ram and 80gig hd thats got 3gigs left getting 500gig hd soon) thanks

 

Just becuase you ot an F in English doesn't mean you can type shit all over these forums, go some place that people care (Runescape.com | AOL etc.).

I need a cross check Phil to see if you have the same ideas as I do.

I want a general use computer for AUS $2000. What would you recommend?

 

I live in US so i did the conversion rate and its $1,653.71 USD

Thats a LOT of money to be spending on a general use computer.

If you consider general use as internet browsing and some basic programs this computer for $400 would be good. http://www.buy.com/prod/acer-aspire...-2ghz-1gb-ddr2-sdram/q/loc/101/203975271.html

But if you have nothing better to do with that money you can get a killin computer here:
http://www.amazon.com/Pavilion-A615...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1189362759&sr=1-11
thats still only $1000 tho.

If you still wanted to spend more money after that you could get another gig of ram a better grafics card and another hard drive.
that would basiclly equal 1.6k but if you had anymore money you couldent buy anything better if you tried!

 

Well General Use/Multimedia. My parents want to buy a new computer, and my brother also uses it for things like Photoshop CS3. I'm doing up a list of system specs for him, and I just wanted a cross check of what you though.
