All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

OMG, a real girl on the net.....wanna cyber :P

Surprising how many people are buying core i7 systems at the moment.

They are expensive but they have insane performance. And they have the VT bit which is all important for running KVM.. was playing around with virtualisation on a Core2Duo and I was surprised at how fast SBS 2003 was running under a linux QEMU session (using KVM hooks).... i7 should totally own for entry level virtualisation servers

I'm gonna get one later in the year but not till Win7 is out

Seen something like that before so I'm guessing you'll have to take your c:\ drive out (you'll need a second computer to install this drive into) and get your windows directory out of a folder which will be more than likely hidden.

If its windows xp, put the disk in the drive, boot off of it. Once it has loaded up you should be able to make a selection to do a repair via the command console/repair console - so load that. Once that has loaded do a chkdsk /r (exactly like i have written it) on your c drive, and you should be able to get windows to load off of your hard drive again.

A straight chkdsk does jack all, a chkdsk /r does a recovery of bad sectors etc. We use that command alot at work for pc's that come in and wont boot into windows - works 75% of the time, if that doesn't work we run a bad sector repair, if that doesn't work another chkdsk /r, and if it still doesn't work, a windows reinstall is needed or a new hard drive with a windows reinstall.

yeah just remembered ive tried that. didnt work. might give it a go again tho.

there is another chkdsk command too that I tried. Didnt work either.

Going to be pretty pissed is I havce to format C;

Harddrive into old comp might be the go. grab the folder I want then reinstall

what is the blah blah?

there could be lotsa things that have caused this, have you tested the hard drive with the manufacturers tools?

have you gone into the repair consol and done a fixmbr and fixboot?

taken out all other hdd's including your external drive and tryed to reboot again.. sometimes people dont know but their external HDD can take boot priority and will stop your PC from booting

anyhow, try those, see how it goes

Tried everything. Looks like im going to format C.

Really sucks. really pissed tbh. Lost alot of stuff I was about to backup.

Maybe plug the harddrive into my other comp ? Will it work as a normal drive even with a OS running on it ?

Yes

There are a lot of things u can do before needing to format the drive - have you got a USB ext HDD caddy?

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
