Messy morning

i love BSOD

did u try just yanking the power cord leaving it a bit and then try to boot the system again.

My computer on the release date for modern warefare 2 my computer decided to change which drive was the primary then it decided it just wouldnt dectect any harddrives. that was really really annoying and all from a restart because steam wouldnt let me activate it

I did, Colin. None of the usual stuff would work. It shut down OK last night too, so no clues there.

Colin Burns · Nov 17, 2009, 14:09:27

did you have any suicide packs installed hmmm

Rik · Nov 17, 2009, 14:12:39

Pacts, maybe.

Glad that your backup worked, Rik. That reminds me that I should make one, I've been neglecting to do it for a while.

.........and that reminds me Noreen to actually get Acronis and do a back up

I know, I know

It can be a 'life saver' Baz.

Sorry to hear this, Rik. It's lucky that you were able to get up and running again quickly and without data loss.

Rik · Nov 17, 2009, 15:48:54

Backup, backup, backup.

I still wish I knew what happened, though.

I know Rik, you keep saying this but I dont listen do I

I do actually have version 10 I think it is but have not used it properly . trying to find the 'good' version you all talk about but its hard to come by now.One day I will sort it Rik

Rik · Nov 17, 2009, 16:18:59

I hope you're not too late, Baz.

Baz · Nov 17, 2009, 16:22:08

im just lazy Rik and the fact that I have a wireless keyboard at the moment and cant get into my stash of old stuff in the back of cupboard to get the wired one to try the disc I have made............ages ago

Look in the bios for an option to allow legacy usb devices (or something like that). That should allow the use of the wireless keyboard without being in windows.

Oh, and version 10 is the good version

Rik · Nov 17, 2009, 16:44:25

Indeed it is.

thanks Lance but I still need to get into the bios first to change it

version 10 is the good one is it. i was thinking it was 9 that was the one to have, well I never....thanks again Lance

I've got version 10 of Acronis True Image but I think you'd be very lucky to get a copy now. Many agree that it's the best version, it's very easy to use and has saved me several times.

Rik · Nov 17, 2009, 17:14:39

Just once is enough to justify owning it, isn't it.
