BTW Don't say why you're giving him the money. Remember the licences says that the SCP can't make money out of the source code

You're just giving him money cause he's a nice guy

correction:
-> lending money

Bah, if you want, bob, pm me. I have a paypal account too.

Or.....scavenge and salvage some old PC for a 3 or 4 GB hardrive, and then use that ONLY for the OS.

Pretty much like what I'm doing now. Got the darn thing for free too, since my uncle was pretty much throwing it away and I didnt want it to go to waste

Uhmm....it has to be a very old drive to work.
Most HDs used nowadays 'never heard of such' a process since they are pre-formatted and setup in the factory.

i have a better idea, how about people send me money to buy a nice 180 gig drive, and il send bob my old 20 gig

[Bobboau]

well if someone has a dependable 10 gig drive that'd be usefull too.

if people want to send me money I used the same [email protected] email to register on paypal.

Well, I have several of those HDDs - but the shipping costs would exceed the value of the drive itself by miles.

I have 2 SCSI drives and a SCSI card that I dont need anymore. Their capacity is 4.8 gigs each. I will happily send them your way if u pay shipping.

How much do you need?

[Bobboau]

well I looked the other day the smallest drives available were $80-90 (80 gig), so if I can get 10 people to give me $10 I'll have more than enough to get going again.

[Grey Wolf]

Where were you looking? An actual brick and mortar store? Go to Newegg or something, you'll save yourself a good $30-40.

Well, find the actual, final price, the HD you really want, and I'll send you the total.

ok I got myself a new hard drive (finly got the paycheck in the bank) and got myself a 120 gig seagate (bout $100)
now what I need is a windows product key that hasn't been used in a good while and won't be for a good while, I activated last time just before this whole mess started so now I need a new key or I'm screwed, if anyone would be willing to let me use theres it will probly save me a huge amount of hassle.

[Nico]

So, don't need money after all?
"off to Tokyo Central, and preorders the new Last EXILE artbook"

Wheeeeeee!

and why can't you use your key again?
Oooooooh, would it be that your copy is not legit? oooooooh...
oooooooh!

2k or xp? I have both.

[Bobboau]

well I could always use any money you give me

it's XP

and this copy of windows is legal, I'm useing the disck that came with the computer, the thing is I activated it just before the hard drive crashed wich was like a week ago. if you need a refresher on the timeline it's something like this
one month ago: turn my computer off in the morning, get home that night and it won't turn on. reinstall windows.
two weeks ago: get done installing most things, letting auto-majic updates handle all the windows related things like SP2 on it's own time. activate the new install
about a week ago: little popup blip in the lower right hand corner says "updates downloaded and ready to install" click on it and see SP2 lisens agreement. thinks"it's about time it got to this" runs the thing
ten minutes later: "the hard drive says: CLICK CLICK CLICK"
"the Bobboau says: godfuuckingdamnitmotherfucckingpeicofgodamnedfuuckin****facedmother..../*cries in the fetal position while shakeing back and forth*/"
last night: gets a new hard drive
five minutes ago: finishes SP2 without killing the computer, posts a mesage assking if anyone's got any spare activation keys.

if someone would be more comfortable PMing me that's fine, I'll alaways ask if I can use it before I do in the future.

[Grey Wolf]

If your copy is legit, you can just call up MS tech support to activate. If not, I can't help you.
