OK I think the only remedy now is getting an IDE hd. So I bought a IDE to SATA adapter. I plug it into my first IDE channel on motherboard. Then hook my sata drive to that. It reads it fine in bios. It boots finally from my windows xp cd but it takes longer then normal. At least 30 - 40 seconds to just have it display " Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration." This stays on for 5 seconds. Then I get a black screen with nothing happening. Since I've been typing this its blank. 2 minutes so far. So maybe its the win xp cd I am running. I pop in a different cd winxp 9 in 1 cd. I get the menu and select the version to install. Then it repeats as I typed above. So maybe its the hard drive. I format on a working computer another sata drive. I try both methods above and the same thing happens. So as I final effort I boot another CD I have created that is loaded with Diagnostic dos applications and the such. I am able to load the menu. I can't load a samsung hard drive diagnostic program or Partition magic 8 because of error ""INT 13 08: Failure". I think that means it is having trouble reading a drive? I am able to load a program called PC-CHECK and it checked everything as Passed. Any other ideas anyone?

Who brings a brand new car to break up with a woman? What an idiot.

I am glad I bought a curve and not a storm.

Well a free vehicle is always worth your time. I had a minivan for a rental once since they were out of the car I "reserved". Yeah the tires spun all the time I drove it.

Hitting up microcenter tomorrow for that. But I don't even get to the point of starting to install windows. There is always press F6 to install 3rd party SCSI drivers but it refuses to try booting CDROM with that other hard drive. My other motherboard with onboard SATA boots fine from them. Even if I have IDE CDRoms hooked up.

It reads the SATA in the POST before it attempts to boot anything. It tries to find any installed drives on it just like it was on the IDE chain. It verified the Make and Size on the screen.

Ok I am guessing my problem is that this BIOS isn't smart enough to boot from a CD first when my hard drive on a PCI card is hooked up. This is an old Asus P4T motherboard. This Bios is probably from 2002. My IDE hard drive finally died. The only spare I have is a SATA drive. This mothboard has no SATA ports but I had a PCI card with SATA on it. I only have hooked up right now on the IDE wire is a CDROM On the PCI card 1 SATA drive. Nothing else is hooked up. If the SATA drive isn't hooked up it boots the winxp cd fine. If I hook up SATA drive and CD Rom it spins up the cd but doesn't boot. I get an error PRESS ANY KEY TO REBOOT. This loops forever. I go into BIOS and turn the boot option to boot CDROM first and disable everything else. I reboot and same problem. If I hit F12 during POST I never get a boot device selection menu like on my newer computers. So is my BIOS too old to boot off only sata?

Oh I hope you were insured. You can get all new stuff right?

+1 phantom I always go there.

Guess what we changed the laws for driving. If you ever take a sip of alcohol you can't drive until you attend 5 AA meetings. Everyone knows that if you take a sip of alcohol that you become a raging alcoholic. Your logic makes as much sense as my post.

I could take someone down even if it is a sloppy shot.

Depends on the gun but usually 25 feet. And yes I need more practice. I have been there a total of 7 times so I am just new at this.

You guies better watch out tomorrow. I will be driving in the beater with the sun roof open revving on all you fools. If you don't race me 3 roman candles shooting out the roof onto your car. What now?

Can you find me a deal like that??!

I don't really care for a V8 jeep. I don't think GC is what I want. I have been looking on autotrader and 1999 - 2001 cherokee with 100K or more miles are around 5-6K. Does that sound worth it?

I love fireworks I has some.

We were discussing maybe getting a truck too but I don't know what kind. What would be a good option for a $5000 truck? But yes hauling will be in the future. Right now its just fence lumber. Soon drywall and probably house windows etc etc...

Getting drunk and blowing shit up with gun power and fire. You know normal every day activities.

So some things have come up and we are debating getting a used Jeep. It will be for the wife to drive daily but I will be driving it when we are both off work. Also we will be using it to haul building material for our house repairs. I think I have talked her out of wanting a wrangler because I think she will hate the comfort level of driving it daily. Plus with mikehaze's incidents with stolen body parts she is not wanting it. Skinner mentioned I should get a Cherokee. We are looking to spend $5000. Has to have working a/c and 4x4. Anyone have an idea of what we should be considering. Any issues or recalls I should know about on Cherokees? Do the rear seats fold down in the back? How much storage area does it have? Would it be possible to haul an 8 foot posts in the car without the trunk open?

No shotguns here. Yes you need to come out with us one weekend! No Yes

ahahahahaha

It is hard to find old things on there. Sometimes you can request it if your server lets you create a thread on there. Then sometimes someone will upload it if your lucky...
