?

As in, how do you wipe the drive. I have no idea :x

Only thing ive done before was boot in DOS and delete everything. as in "deltree windows" etc etc. But theres surely an easier way?

Ah I do remember the jokes we had in school about telling some year 9 to type that :lol:


Isn't it in System Tools?

Make sure you save your steamApps folder, saves you having to download everything again.

Just done it and its a breeze, just download steam, copy across the steam apps folder login and away you go.

Aye, starred at my screen for hours last night as winrar split my steamapps folder in to 3 nice 4.7GB files ;)

(well i wanted it to, but it didnt recognise the last three digits and split them into half GB files instead :P)

In the process of making a windows cd (see my thread on nLite)
I'll be putting on all the drivers and programs and just personal stuff on that too.

Annoying this is that my CPU came today, but I wasn't in to pick it up :x

lol no it was "fastway". Never heard of them, look a bit cheap tbh. But so did the site i ordered off :D (h4xttp://www.gsquared.co.uk)

City link are annoying though. I missed a delivery, so read the card that said the driver would return to depot and I could pick it up there. So I got on my bike and road down there (bout half an hour ride :/), saw a city link van on the way (lol) and when I got there they said that it had been taken out again and I'd have to wait till tomoro :x THE IRONY

But they came the next day :)
I think that may have been my BB gun... i mean "airsoft pistol"... that I bought a while back. I was like a child at christmas when it finally turned up :D p226 FTW
