Well everyone I thank you for your help but looks like a new computer is on the horizon for me! With mine going down and my boss having the same one he is taking the opportunity to try and get 2 or 3 new one together at a discount. I might try to revisit fixing this old one at some point still though
In the first couple posts I think I put a picture of the error I was getting. When we tried to reinstall windows, it would get through that setup then blue screen. Same as the new HD
Charleston, SC!! Specifically look at the Daniel Island area. Close enough to the city and beaches as well as close to the airport. My parents are in the process of building a house there and have been there many many times for vacations
This is the widows setup screen I get and along the bottom it shows what it's setting up. When it changes to show "Starting Windows" I get this 2nd screen
The one Sapphy posted at Microcenter is the one I'm going with since I need the computer up and running ASAP As long as its somewhat equal in speed to the toshiba that came with the computer, ill be happy. Normally I'd use this as an excuse to upgrade to something awesome (ie new computer in general) but unfortunately its not in the budget now
Trying to keep up with a scooter on the Dragon is the ONLY time I've ever had fun on the Dragon The noob-ness of the Central Ohio youngins club reigns supreme again!
