Hey all

Ok so a couple of things...

1. I'm going to attempt to reformat my computer

2. I cant seem to get my network working properly

Here goes. Aiight so I have windows xp (which I downloaded, shoosh) and I want to reformat my computer. Is it ok if I simply right click on the C: drive and say reformat? Is there another way I should be doing it? Will it retain my windows xp drivers? Or will they have to be re-installed?

Also. I have a network here at home with a couple of computers on it. I want to back up some stuff before I format and I cant seem to access the others? Like in network places it just comes up blank. Any suggestions? Also, I can see my computer on the others - but when I click on it it comes up wanting a pass word. I dont have a password, wtf

Please help

Cheers

You cant right click c:\ and do a format because most likely you will have the operating system on it so it wont let you

It would probably be best booting from the XP CD and format it, choose the NTFS option. Dont worry its all menu driven just back up your stuff before you do it. From the menus it will let you install XP too. Just download drivers or your network card drivers at least so you can hook up to the internet to download other drivers, I've made that mistake once lol

For your home network since its only two computers install the IPX/SPX network protocol on both PCs so you dont have to configure anything. Share out the C:\ on both computers and you should be able to see it in network neighbourhood

      Big Brake Kit for ECR33

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      What are you doing with the car? Drags, sprints, racing? A decent upgrade of dba 4000 rotors, good quality pads (endless, project mu, intima are all I have used), quality fluid and braided lines. All have held up to multiple big track days and street duties. No need for big fancy kits as some also require significant energy to come upto operating temp. Look at 350z caliper and rotor upgrade too.  @Dose Pipe Sutututu comment on them and did a good write up.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      I've driven that one and it's a great deal and drives nice. The owner definitely treats it right on track. You would have gotten it for what you paid for this one too.   Keen to see what you do to this one.

      Front Tyres on R34 GTR, fitment, etc, *question*

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I have a question with regards to R34 GTR guards. All the info here is quite old. Useful, but old. At what point does the bumper itself become a clearance issue with wide wheels on a R34 GTR, specifically the part I've drawn in red here: All of the info that people post about implies that 285 is as far as you'd go before scrubbing becomes an issue, but they speak of hitting the inner plastic liners, not the bumper itself. Just how wide could you go if you took the liners out? Has anyone done it? I have been messing with my own car and spacers and heavily cursed my lack of planning, but I might not feel so bad if there's actually no gains to be had by going a GTR guard and front bar combination for $5k+ of money I do not have after spending about that much already on my solution which now has problems. (Woo) At least I now know why GTR guards and bumpers flare out like this over their GTT lesser cousins. I feel that in 2024, someone has gone further and attempted to run 315's or somesuch on the front of a R34 GTR. If you have, please post. If you're tried and failed for some other reason definitely post so I feel better about my mistakes

      URAS Type R R34 GT GTT Widebody Front Guards

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Genuine URAS Type R front guards in FRP. These will fit a GTT. They will only fit a GTT. If you have a GT or GTT and want wider fenders with a Z tune look up top, this is what you want. You use this with a regular GTT fitment bar. Not a GTR bar. They fit GTT guard liners and plastics, not GTR items. So if you're reading this thinking "Ah! I have a GTT or GT and want wider front guards that bolt directly on, but do not want the hassle of changing my bonnet and bumper and plastics and undertrays or anything else, this is what you want. The fitment is annoyingly perfect. I really would rather someone pick these up in person and not ship them. SE Melb.
