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

Problem.

comp is having some sort of fit.

Turn the comp on and let it warm up, I do this for some reason.

Head back into the room and its blank.

reset bios. mb battery etc,

now I have the message " blah blah windows\system32\config\system is missing or corrupt. run cd to repair file. etc etc along the lines of this. Ive fixed something similar before but cant figure this out. any help please ? alot of music was just about to be saved on external drive. good timing

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.

Ill have a crack. done everything you mentioned already. chkdsk. all the repair commands I scrolled and played with.

However havent tried /r

give it a go tomorrow and let you know. Cheers

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.

Golden gun in cod4 too :D

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?

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
