Well, was bored and thought of computers today… and then i realised i had a spare computer laying around doing Jack and then realised i’m hoping to leave home in the next month or two which will mean the computer will keep doing Jack (I don’t know anyone called Jack btw…).

So i decided to format the hard-drive that had Linux onit, what a nightmare it was… put the Windows XP disc in and “Inspecting computer setup” or whatever it says, then the screen stays black… hmm i thought, assumed the disc was screwed, so tried another disc… nope happened with the other disc. Had another spare hard-drive with Windows XP onit, so i booted that with the Windows XP setup disc and worked… so decided to format the other hard-drive and install Windows XP… job done, shutdown Windows XP, disconnect other hard-drive, boot up, guess what? dosn’t decided to boot… so had to format again and reinstall Windows XP… finally worked.

Was taking out the CDRW drive for my computer, unscrewed it and tried pushing it towards the PSU (Don’t ask :P) i assumed there was a screw stopping it coming out… so checked nope… accidently gave it a pull (The right way :P) and it came out then i slapped my self for making such a noob mistake (No excuses really :().

Did some hardc0re screwing with some screws and a blue LED fan, sorted.

Took a few hours because of the formatting and crap.
