[PICS] My first ever custom PC build log

Oh well, Vista 64 bit is downloading now anyway. Also, I have some pictures for you guys!


The graphics card


And again, with me case.


BSOD, joke, Windows XP is installing.


And again.

[N!ck]

I'll definatley do that. Not sure what's going on with the format, it only had one option to format 131062MB when my HDD is 500GB?

A bit confusing, or is it a limit or somthing?

EDIT: It's my Windows XP set-up disk, I will have to download easeus partition manager and create a huge partition, and then I will delete my current partition and resize my new partiton to 500GB. Simple.

Don't put XP on it .

[Wootzeh]

put windows 7 RC 1 on it.

[Pyroka]

I'd put Vista and then RC 1 on, its annoying as hell when you have Windows 7 and none of your drivers are compatible... Its best not to till your drivers come out, cuz you will be really heartbroken at how amazing Windows 7 is and how Vista is a buggy piece of crap.

Use a quick format and it takes like 5secs... Most modern drives don't have problems with bad sectors so there is really no need to do a full format.

-.- partitioning a 500gb drive takes AGES.. this is the point where SSD is nearly required...

If anyone has a direct download link to Vista 64 bit (not torrent, maybe technet or somthing), then I would be extremely greatful. I have installed Windows XP, and I am on it right now, but it's only 32 bit and for some reason, it's causing lots of problems. Thanks.

Also, to try and persuade someone to find me a download link, here is a CPU-Z thing:

Shoot a PM to Berch. If you need the cracked version then dont bother cuz its not the cracked one. He does have uncracked Vista 64-bit on his FTP so it downloads really fast. He'll probs give you a torrent link to it, but it does it in less than 3 hours for a 3GB file, its proper decent. Depends on your net really... but yeah, I'd PM him to ask, he's a proper nice bloke.

Tis if you want it!

All Vista drivers will work on 7 from my experience so that's not a problem.

I agree. Especially since it's a new drive so there's no data to overwrite anyway lol.

As Pyroka said above. Shoot me a PM if you wish I will let you download it from my server cracked or un-cracked up to you. If you wanna download it just send us a PM and we can sort it out.

WHAT?!?!?!??! HISS ***** BHISISISISISISISISSS >>>>>>>__________<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< grrr. It wouldnt install my motherboard drivers at all, could probably get the GPU drivers to work. Grr, thats pissing annoying, I would so much prefer Windows 7 to Vista.

Mind you, thanks to Jamesy I've got a legit 64-bit ;D
