LOL a bottle cap.....nah If I have to use a screw, I'll put a felt piece on the head of the screw. matter a fact I just looked and I have a couple of green felt ones and a couple of clear rubber/plastic ones that would fit right on and keep the screw from scratching my desk. bottle...

Hi, "OneMoar", thanks for the reply, I looked at your picture of what you did with the drywall screw(s) ...that's a pretty good idea, one that I never though about and I do apt/home remodeling and have a ton of drywall screws around of different lengths and it would probably work, I'd have to...

I'm still looking for Keyboard "Feet" Hey everyone, I'm still using this Microsoft Natural Multimedia keyboard and could still use some "feet" for it. Several of you have made suggestions that I upgrade to a different type of keyboard and that I will "get used to it"...nope...I've tried, 4...

oh shit dig this, I just hit the button to try and do a quick format while I get my riding gear on, and it said, "Setup did not find any Hard drives installed in your computer" .

You know I think thats just what I'm going to do, it ain't like there's any info on it to try and save because I copied everything to 2 8GB USB drives before I started the reformat, so its just going to be a paperweight now I reckon. and yeah I'm sure it would just fail again. Well thanks...

hey thanks, dig, I just copied your post and printed it so I'll have it on hand. The reason I was needing the Adin password was because I needed it to run the recovery Console to do a repair. well after trying 3 times with no luck, now when I boot back up, it shows the Windows XP screen and...

its an Acer Aspire

yes I tried just pressing enter & that didn't work it said invalid, admin didn't work either, On the BIOS screen it says Supervisor PSW is Clear, User PSW is Clear, HDD password is Clear

ok but shouldn't I be able to go into the BIOS ona restart and either find the password or create a new one ? DIgibucc I just shot you a message before this about this so you can ignore that, thks for the help by the way. and yes if I ever do get this lappy up and running I will do a chkdsk.

Hi again, Hey I just now finaly got it install all the way thru and then after the Windows XP screen showed up it said it was missing a file (usp10.dll) and for me to restart & use the recovery console, ow when I do that, it asked for an administator password. I've never changed it, I thought...

ok I guess thats a last resort before I go buy some parts.

lordy theres a lot of files, I've already copied 50 down and I'm still only @94%... Not sure if its my optical drive or the Hard Drive thats the problem. I don't have one to replace either with unless I go buy them and unless I buy both just to be sure I'll end up with something I bought that...

so what should I do next ? quit ?

its stopped @93%, should I skip the file (s) and just copy them down and see if it will finish and then go and get them afterwards ?

OK I fixed the MBR and now am installing OS, I split the 120GB into a 50 & a 60 and ran installed the OS to the 50GB. it just stopped @ atiixpag.inf and retry doesn't do nothing. Any suggestions ?
