First,
I do my usual routine of clearing the CMOS so that my BIOS doesn't complain and my computer can actually start up.Then,I get Vista talking to me via console saying that boot files are missing or corrupt. Looking at what files it's talking about I realize that it listed the registration file first. Thinking back I remember that I had used a fake registration program on my Vista and that last time I was on my PC there was an update. So I assumed that Vista had simply updated and caught onto my trickery.So, 16898I said to hell with it and broke out a Ubuntu install disk I had been keeping around the place. Set the partitions to be side by side (idk why I didn't just clear vista completely, I guess I thought it would still be recoverable). Installed it and messed with it a bit.But then,Ubuntu tells me that my hard drive has many errors and bad sectors. ;_;And,pretty much from there I try messing with it a bit only to end up unable to launch Ubuntu again.Sooooo,yeah, only laptop for now. No steam games.Edit,oh yeah, the point of this blog; does anyone know if any form of formatting my HDD would fix this?
This reminds me, I really need to start backing up my computer more than 3 times a year lol.
I have a main hard drive and a cheap-ass hard drive, which is my backup disk with installers and a breifcase of all of my editable files.
and if thats not enough, I also have a SD card for less-frequent back-ups, and a laptop with old files on it. :3
This is why I can't stop playing Minecraft.Sorry about that, I actually spent a great deal of time trying to get that to fit but gave up. :(
It's fixed now. Sorry.Thanks. I feel much better now.
Eww…vista.
Vista is not that bad as long as you disable that one security feature.
Disable it, you're outta luck, don't disable it, you're outta luck…Vista was funny.
