you can buy an upgrade, depending on whether you use 32-bit or 64-bit.
I did an upgrade and it kept all of my files and settings from vista

Apparently if you do a custom install from XP, it'll put all your files in a folder called windows.old ... I backed up my music and shool stuff on my external though, just in case.

Can you upgrade from XP or Vista? I thought it was a Vista-only upgrade.

In any case, I can't get Windows on my computer because XP wont recognize my sata harddrives and I can't find a working Vista copy. Anybody have a Vista install disc they'd like to throw my way?

Bein' busy as hell. Wrote two midterms on Monday, have an essay due tomorrow, a russian assignment due Friday, and a ten page midterm on Tuesday.

Holy crap.

Tonight, I'm going to attempt to chemically strip the chrome from my control plate of my MM Stingray. If it works, I will then dye it black. If it all works well, I will move onto the knobs, the string tree, the tuner ears, and eventually **gulp** the bridge.

EBMM has been less than helpful in regards to obtaining some of their black hardware (which they do make...I even offered to send in my original Stingray hardware & pay for all new hardware to avoid potential copyright problems....and they just wouldn't have it).

I thought it was only from vista too, but you just have to do a custom install and you can upgrade directly from XP.

Without a floppy drive, Windows wont let me install XP, which is BS. I just need a vista cd.

wut?

[quote=BenJammin;17621967]wut?[/quote]

I only have SATA hard drives in my new computer, and windows XP predates SATA technology. It requires a 3rd party RAID controller, and from the looks of it, it will only recognize a floppy drive as the medium for a 3rd party driver.

Huh. I did not know that. I installed a Windows XP partition on my Mac, from CD, without any problems.

The upgrade packages contain both 32-bit and 64-bit options.

I'm bored.

get a job.
speaking of which:
did you get that teaching job?

Negative. I've got nothing atm.

I'm going back to my old job for 8-10 days to help with a sale... hopefully 60 hours total or so. It'll be enough to stave me off for another couple of months.

You can live for a few months on 60 hours of work? Must be a sweet job.

[QUOTE=gaslight;17622191]You can live for a few months on 60 hours of work? Must be a sweet job.[/QUOTE]

Few =/= couple.

Few months = 4+

Couple = 2

I'll bank enough money to pay for nearly 2 months of rent. The rest I'll make up doing odd jobs or selling **** off.

Feels bad man, but some money is better than no money. When are the decisions made about your grad school applications?

I'm not sure, tbqh. I'm not entirely sure I'm going next year, yet.

Jesse, how was the Six Finger Satellite show? I couldn't make it to their Toronto show because I had to work.

Got a cool poster with a free album download as well.
