Re-install Windows and stop being such a nub - this is like the 3rd virus you've had in a year ffs.

You've used n-lite before haven't you?...iirc can't you point n-lite to the local i386 folder instead of using the OEM CD?

Anyway, the only way I can see of you getting it back shaun463 is with the use of a second PC running n-lite using your old i386 folder which you'll need to copy whilst booted up in Ubuntu...

...Or, if no OS choices are available at boot you could try rescue the boot loaders through Ubuntu:

1. Boot up the Ubuntu Live CD or just boot straight into Ubuntu(to fix windows loader skip this to step 2.):

Once you are at the desktop open up a terminal

This will get you a "grub>" prompt (i.e. the grub shell). At grub>. enter these commands

This will return a location. If you have more than one, select the installation that you want to provide the grub files.
Next, THIS IS IMPORTANT, whatever was returned for the find command use it in the next line (you are still at grub>. when you enter the next 3
commands)

Again use the value from the find command i.e. if find returned (hd0,1) then you would enter root (hd0,1)
Next enter the command to install grub to the mbr

Finally exit the grub shell

2.
To fix the Windows MBR:

Scroll down to the bottom of the file and add this:

where ? is the number of your windows partition. So, if it is /dev/sda4 you would put a 3.

Restart and your windows boot option should be there.

Edit:

To find your XP key without being able to boot into windows will be trick, the only suggestion I have is to use the key reader attached through WINE in Ubuntu whilst it's placed on the XP NTFS partition - I have no idea if this will work but hey it's worth a try. XP-KeyReader.zip

Quote from batteryy :

so if i smthing like this http://www.vpd.fi/product_deta ... 87&c=55&subid=163 it should work better?. well it might be useful, my xbox really gets a little too hot than i think it should be after long playing

Hey don't come back here complaining if it doesn't work

...and don't worry about the noise from the add-on fan as a heard of antelope migrating through your room would make less noise than the xbox itself

Really though, imo MS made a huge mistake not educating the general public about the excessive heat produced by the xbox, it is in actual fact very similar to a home PC than a console and needs to kept well ventilated unlike what the masses have done thinking it was like a PS2 or somethin' and sticking it in between their other electronic equipment in a closed cabinet< this would kill any xbox in no time.

Quote from batteryy :

then i quess my xbox is crap or it could be the cd, and thats what i think it is. when i bought it i had to install it to xbox hd so it wont crash once every hour so there might be some problems with it

have you tried the fan add-on?, the xbox gets very hot in confined spaces.

I've got an air purifier and 6" flexi-duct hooked up to mine

Quote from batteryy :

maybe the fact that atleast the normal xbox cant run it perfectly.(not sure about elite or any else version) for me in some points the fps gets so low its hard to play. for example drive some of the briges at night. or get alot of cop cars behind you and blow them all up

I have a standard xbox and it runs like a charm

Good stuff LOL!

Quote from J@tko :

I appear to have 109 processes running :hide:

Is that because I'm on vista?

Best thing to do is go into services and disable all the unwanted stuff like anti-virus and any startup apps that if you want set them to manual so you can use them if needed, for me on windows I just have basic networking services and Zonealarm starting up, iirc the feature in Vista that makes windows transparent etc. uses WAY too much memory too.

Anyone here killed the pigeons yet?

My new fav pastime is sitting under the flyover on Charge Island(just to the right of the water)and snipe chopper pilots and LMFAO at the noob cops jumping off the flyover to their death LOL! you can hear them scream.mad

I see, I assumed SNR was only for wireless broadcasts and not closed circuits like cable or adsl

Is there no option in LFS to choose what ports you want to use?

Quote from Nobo :

Well i also have a lot of disconnects in lfs in the evening hours. The internet connection seems to stay.
I have read around the internet and one problem might be that the adsl signal tolerance of my connection is to low with 7dB. My problem why do downloads go on and other things not braking up, while lfs brakes up connection? Any help?

Whats that? are telephone lines measured in db's? or are you on wireless?

Here is an old guide, it may be of some help.

You've either forgotten the sarcasm smiley or you are just plain rude?

What is your network setup?

Does this happen with other online games?

What is you max upload speed?

Can you test this on another PC on the same network?

See if creating a new user account stops the problem, also post a list of running processes from Task Manager.

Naa, I wouldn't worry what server you're on, gust get out there and race your best every time and the crashers and noobs will be in the mirror and you'll be alongside the pack learning as you go. People on S2 servers are aware of newcomers and tend go give and extra distance so unless you mess up real bad you should be just fine.

Quote from JohnUK89 :

WINE Is Not an Emulator. And LFS runs just fine, you may be lacking FFB if you use a wheel, however.

For me LFS runs at one quarter of the FPS run in Windows(4FPS)

WINE itself may not, but what about all of the lighting and shadow trickery that goes on that was built to run under ms? it's one quarter of ms in gaming. Crap(for me)

A wheel I think I've seen a hardly used G25 knocking around the house somewhere...*me can't wait to driven in LFS again, it's been ages*

Quote from Feffe85 :

last time i checked Windows came before Linux... so how the hell can u pity the ones that uses the older software? Idiotic statement...

Please don't turn this into the bloody retarded Linux-V- Vvindows noob bitch fest. I think what teedot meant to say was that the "Windows generation" misses out on a lot of the interesting features and inner workings of an OS and hardware usually restricted whilst in a Windows environment, but all those things are for geeks and the masses only "want stuff to work", go figure...

Quote from NoFear1989 :

OK guys, i want replecing Windows XP Pro to Ubuntu did Ubuntu good or bad ? did can still play Windows games on ubuntu ? What good points and bad points that system have ?

For LFS, Ubuntu(and just about any Linux OS)is terrible to run high-end games and software unless you own a high-end machine capable of running resource hungry emulators.

So Ubuntu and Linux sucks a great of ball's for gaming unless you want to start typing code like back 1887.

There must be some better way to deal with demo users and skins, forgive me if it has been discussed to death as I may have missed it(or not)because my memory ain't the best as of late.

So we are in a situation where demo users constantly keep posting their custom skins to the forum asking S2 holders to upload their content to the master server and LFSW. Most skins I've seen are dreadful and it's not hard to see why people get agitated with the constant flow of content from the unlicensed drivers which more often than not see's the demo user turned straight off LFS altogether for being flamed and told to buy a license which imo is not very fair as some of the skins presented for upload do actually have some effort put into them.

The dev's need to make clean and clear guidelines on the rules surrounding the uploading of skins by S2 holders from demo users by either outright banning uploading or hosting a separate temporary system. It is having a double whammy effect because that skin should not have been on the forum in the first place and if it is uploaded by an S2 holder it is content that is used through LFSW and is unpaid for.

I understand for many reasons why a P2P type system for the skins is undesirable, but would it not be feasible to have the demo users share skins amongst themselfs in P2P type fashion?

Why?
