Eclipse

My friend installed XP Pro on a brand new harddrive 2 separate times: Once with an official copy of XP Pro, and then my pirated copy. It won't boot up after the XP Pro splash logo appears and then you see the little scrolling green bar. It finishes that, and then blacks out and never boots. Of course, you'd think it would work under the NTFS format....that's not the case. When done under NTFS, it never starts the boot process. When done under FAT32, it does the process and then blacks out. He can only boot under safe mode under a FAT32 installation. What could be the problem?

Wow, after that statement she had made, I KNEW this was coming up next. Well, she can join Lesnar now....

WOW, this is something that I must invest money into! But man, that's gonna cost a bundle....

Well, I actually found out more about his problems, and to confirm the fact he needs a new HDD: He tells me that the hard drive does this weird clicking and low buzzing noise. Wouldn't that mean the read/write head is busted? But yeah, he definately needs a new HDD. GOOD thing he happened to back up a little while before this happened.

I just want some advice on what to do with these problem on 2 different PC's... One PC has XP Professional. The PC is turned on, and it said that the hard drive was not detected. Then, it was restarted over 20 times, and finally, it went past the error, and went to the portion of start up where it says XP Pro with the little bar scrolling. It stood there for 10 minutes, and then a blue screen appeared with an error of some sort. He restarted again, and it said the hard drive wasn't detected. What can I do to fix that? I remember I had 2000 Pro, and when that blue screen of death popped up, Windows never started again. Now, the second problem is this: Another PC with XP Pro on it, and it says that NTLDR is missing. Of course, without that, NO NT based OS is starting. How can I repair the NTLDR file? I hope that reformatting isn't the way to solve both of these problems. Any help is appreciated...

Weird placement for a PPV, in PR? Damn, I bet my cousins over there are headed to that one...

Yeah, I have heard of this. But, post here when you get ALOT OF MONEY.

Y'know, I was actually going to mention that you should make sure there are no floppy disks in the A: drive and no non-bootable CDs in the CD drive. While 9X operating systems used to give the "non-system disk or disk error" message, NT-based OSes usually give you the NTLDR message. I can't tell you how many panicked people I've calmed down by simply having them eject a floppy disk. Yeah, his boot order was set with the floppy first, and it was trying to boot from that..

The NTLDR problem was fixed. I went into the Recovery Console, and copied a new NTLDR file. But then, I remembered: Maybe there are CD's and/or floppies that it read and tries to boot before the HDD. There was a CD and a mouse driver floppy in there. I took them out, and the PC booted. I am gonna try and check the BIOS settings out. If not....then ALOT OF DATA will be lost because then a reformat will have to happen.

Well, as I see tonight's Cartoon Network lineup, at 12AM Eastern Time (ATHF's usual timeslot) has been taken up by Sealab 2021. Some anime like Inuyasha has moved up as well. Why the sudden change? Maybe cleaning up since they were showing re-runs of ATHF.

I could imagine them going crazy, LOL. But, supposedly, that has happened before with Adult Swim. I was questioning the validity of it, but man was I pissed. I was like..."THEY JUST MADE VOL 2! VOLUME 2!"

Hmmm, it says that the FINAL episode of ATHF will be airing August 15th. Are they indeed ending the show? Or is the commercial I saw some sort of curveball.... EDIT: And yes, they are. Some sites are reporting that is the season premiere of it all. Also, some sites have schedules of Adult Swim with new eps into October. Looks like the first new episode will feature an appearance by the Mooninites.

Well, I don't have any tapes to trade, but I was willing to buy a copy of it. If anyone has it, please give me a copy. Just tell me the price and I will buy it. Either respond here or PM me.

I just came back from the house show in NJ. GM Long announced the PPV, No Mercy, will be indeed in NJ, October 3. Cena fought a returning Angle. It was a welcoming pop, and then of course, the you suck chants. Angle looked solid in the ring. What a great guy Cena is, doing that for the kid...

Well, I wasn't caring for this show, until one of my friend's knows someone who works at Continental Airlines Arena that got us ringside tickets for 10 bucks. I remember reading the main event was JBL vs. Undertaker for the WWE Title. Does anyone else know the rest of the card.

Wow, uh, is it me, or the violent factor in this game is WAY OVEREXAGGERATED? I rented it last week to see how violent it is. At first, it is crazy, a demented director forcing you to kill, but after a while, the death isn't that crazy...

That was one of the most chilling pops ever! I was going INSANE when Austin appeared and everything. I loved it...

I had no clue No Mercy was gonna be here. Well, maybe if it's good enough, I'll go...

Well, I still haven't been to a WWE TV Taping, but I was at a RAW House show back in December 2003. I witnessed possibly the first encounter of Flair vs HBK. It stole the show basically. That was awesome...

Pfft.....maybe Undertaker. I have never seen the Undertaker live, and along with most of the SD roster. Since I am seeing some of the better wrestlers, this card looks good to me.

That diva segment is some of the worst shit to come onto WWE TV ever. I was laughing when the divas mission was to seduce a former WWE Superstar....

FROM: PWInsider.com Trish Stratus, WWE Diva has been caught in the act, apparently. A video of her and an unknown man engaging in sexual acts has been leaked all over the internet. There has been no official word from WWE or Trish Stratus's managment yet about the validity of this tape. According to some sources, the website which originally leaked the Stratus sex tape has been given a cease and desist order from World Wrestling Entertainment. I believe the news is gone from the site now. They are trying to stop this from spreading....

Joanie "Chyna" Laurer was a guest on Howard Stern today and provided some very interesting details. Teased about her masculinity from start to finish, the former WWE wrestler claimed that X-Pac had already made the decision to return to WWE when he gets out of rehab. They recently broke up due to X-Pac's decision, and she claims that HHH got him back into WWE. Additionally, Chyna released news that she and X-Pac apparently have a sex tape that she is willing to release. However, she fears that due to X-Pac's likely involvement with WWE, the tape's release may be blocked. A representative from Steppin Out Magazine called and claimed he heard their sex tape was hot. Credit: PWInsider.com Nice, I wonder WHY Chyna would want the tape to be released. And uh....I wonder where will X-Pac get lost in the WWE now?

Well, interesting news from the GameFAQS board. This site.... www.shiningwizard.com basically...as they put it "Punk'D" the internet. There is no video. They just wanted to spread this rumor, and see everyone arguing over the validity of this video. They put some consolation video for us, but I didn't even bother watching it...

WOW. Just gotta say that Red Sox/Yankees baseball has been ENTERTAINING AS HELL this year. It was funny though, because the announcers were saying today's games (Yankees 10, Red Sox 11) was the "Best Worst game they have ever seen." What a battle, and this is what baseball is about. A-Rod pwned though....LOL
