Just finished reformatting the hard drive and reinstalling Windows XP after a day of trying to fix it and a day of burning nearly 60 gigs of backup CDs… I would have just dumped my files to a friends PC with a crossover cable, but my networking settings were one of the fifty-thousand botched parts of my PC.
:madfawk:
:gives:
we know you suck at this whole pc thing, have fun 
:bowrofl:
you should just take your computer to someone who knows what they are doing… seriously… gauranteed i could have fixed your computer without you having to burn all your shit to CD
i know exactly what i’m doing. the network settings were fucked, so i fixed them. the changes didn’t take effect… the next time i opened the network settings, the settings were back to the wrong settings. I disabled automatic network settings and entered everything manually… It still went back to auto-detect and the BS settings.
On top of this, my drivers for my onboard “NIC”, my joypad, my wireless card, and my digital camera randomly phased in and out of working. I tried a crossover cable between my PC and Amanda’s to dump some shit on her laptop, but again the network bullshit stood in my way.
I’m no sysadmin, but I know my way around a simple home network. I don’t know if what happened to me is characteristic of any known virus or any other issue, but I do know that I tried everything I knew to try.
obviously not.
before spending hours backing up stuff to cd’s, ask someone for help. I’m sure someone on here would point you in the right direction.

you are another one of those know it all fucks… seriously you don’t know dick if you had to back up your files to a cd.
:blah:
tell me then, oh supreme pc god… what would you have tried?
for two days of hassle, i now have a machine running much faster than it was, my hard drive cleaned out (54 free gigs), and not a problem.
dos dump of hardrive to another PC owns you
i’m confused.
how would i have done that? are you saying yank my hard drive and plug it in to another pc, then dump everything in DOS? I have a laptop that’s under two more years of warranty.
maybe that’s why he’s the “almighty computer god person” you stated earlier
Did you try removing the network card and reinstalling the drivers? I’ve seen some pretty fucked up things and this sometimes helps. If you have another pc, get the drivers from the companies website, transfer it to your pc(cd-floppy) and reinstall the network card, then transfer your files to another pc. That would probably be faster than burning cd’s.
he has a laptop no removing network cards unless its PCMCIA card
it’s build into the board. my wireless card is PCMCIA though. I tried reinstalling both drivers.
first off YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING>… … you are retarded for blaming a company for your stupidity… if you would like to learn i’d gladly tell you how to solve your little problem… but it’s honestly something a 6th grader can accomplish.
Simple Answer: ID10T error…
You are a fucktard, quit blaming other people for your lack of ability to understand basic networking and troubleshooting tactics…
