Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I was alone on an airplane, staring out the window, listening to satellite radio, and when the song finally hit that moment - you know the one - the moment the song's been building and building towards - bam! tears.
*hugs*?
The only youtube video I found was a horribly grainy video recording of a TV set. Please just imagine that I posted a video of the end of Men In Black.
"Was that your Auntie?"
I'm pretty sure you can also just reburn the DVD and edit like 1 file. I think this is what I used to cross-grade from the developer preview 7 Ultimate to 7 Pro.
on the other hand
booty call
...
MewTwo finally understood.
okay so when I did something similar to this, i never got this option
how do i reformat the harddrive i am using right now
right click reformat doesn't work
i am stupid
When you get to the screen where it asks you to choose a place for the install there isn't a 'format' or advanced drive options button?
Was it when mew two had his first peanut butter and jelly sandwich and understood what life was all about?
Facebook Messenger is what I mostly use when I'm not texting.
this is stupid and i am stupid

Restart windows from the installation disc.
I'm p sure that upgrade discs do not have this functionality. The reasoning being that it's an upgrade disc. It's supposed to install over an existing thing.
It's silly.
when I do that (i.e. boot the disk on restart) I don't even get to this screen- it takes me straight to some disc recovery tools
THIS IS STUPID
son of a bitch
if I go to command prompt, type C: /q that should reformat the c drive right
what if this fucks up and i cant install win7 on the drive
i fear this can go badly
Maybe your standards are just too high!
I, for one, don't have this problem, so i can say with utmost certainty that no, I don't
Yeah I don't even know. I wouldn't try it without further research.
well the thing is like...there is all this other shit in my c drive I wanted to just get rid of as well and the reinstall i just did didn't touch those files
also my firefox had been freaking out lately and i feared I had some sort of virus because my computer was doing weird things so i wanted to wipe it all and start over from scratch
apparently that is really difficult
I clearly don't have the pull to make a booty call.
of course i don't, they apparently didnt make it in the move
fuck this, i am just gonna deal and get a new copy of win7 when i can afford it
fuk u windows
super
gotta change my gateway again
what a waste of 4 hours
Download something like Gparted and boot it off a USB or burn it to a disc and reformat your hard drive. Install Windows without activating it which should allow you to install without an existing installation. When it's installed activate windows with your product key.
Also when you are doing this install you were going into the 'custom' install feature right? Not the regular install? This could explain why you are given no option to reformat within the installation process.
Man
this is quickly becoming a nightmare
let me back up and completely explain everything
I have had this computer for like 6 years. originally had xp on it, then upgraded to win7. been slowly upgrading pieces here and there over the years.
Recently my computer has been just going bonkers- clicking links in firefox wouldn't work, it would hang up on startup, refuse to connect to the internet, randomly disable my firewalls and then re-enable them later, it would crash when I tried to do disk checks and would freeze up when I tried to defragment
Since a few months back panda antivirus said I had some virus that it apparently took care of, I assumed the worst and tried to keep my usage down until I got something to backup my files and then I would just start the whole shebang over
So I bought an external drive and now here we are
I did the reinstall and now my computer is behaving worse- my resolution and display is all fucked up, firefox keeps crashing, and i have all this extra baggage now.
ugh
Anyway, when you start the installation does it give you a screen where it asks if it's an upgrade or a custom install? You want to do the custom install.
