so after all it does work

It didn't matter program wise
since it didn't shrunk the occupied space
so no data was erased
but somehow the program needs to have the exact 12GB as recovery partition, if it is bigger or smaller it won't work
but I get you I wouldn't have done that if there was data loss, but there wasn't
so yeah it had free space
My HP actually didn't care if the recovery partition was smaller, so I assumed it would work on the eMachines aswell.

yeah, I guess that might've been the issue. Either way, I now gained some experience on how to tackle those types of things and look after something like that.
One message removed from a suspended account.
haha well yeah 😂
I didn't think of that as an issue, since in theory the data isn't erased if the space is not occupied, aswell as it did work on the HP installation. Just some crappy OEM things I guess.

Well I could have bought an SSD with same size, I just was stingy to get the same capacity/even lazy to check
so I kinda think that's the issue here lol

sounds better aswell
I mean, I kinda got that with those Kingston SSDs. Not that big in capacity type of things but fast

so I just sleeping with my pc turned on, then when I wake up, this happened and it's not even rebooting, it just stuck at 0% 
and now my pc can't boot
Scan QR and read the article
There's multiple things that can be wrong
nvm after I reseat all the ram it's fine
Yep, just thought of that. The issue could be hard drive failing up to RAM failing.
anyone here into bitcoin mining?
what's the gudllooking UI, user friendly and easy to use linux distro?
feeling like I want to use Linux
XUbuntu
That might be worth a shot in that case, very nice to use and works on older systems aswell
I used testwise Ubuntu 20.02 iirc and it was awesome 
CSAOO Custom switch are officially on
So, I wanna ask what could be done (just for fun) with like 10-20 4-core PCs paired up together? 😄
I thought of pairing em together to try doing heavy load tasks, just like they would be one PC
like "clustering"

yeah something like that lol
Well, I'd try using my graphics card for that instance and game like with 40 cores lol
you can do a low cost home server with that 
aaaaand I ended up installing elementary OS......after 3-4 hours wondering why I can't install it, I just redo all of it and manual configure all of the partition, and now it's installing 
Well, power consumption will be huge though
Like 10 300W PCs
can't be any worse than those people with mining rigs running 24/7
True
Well, I guess I will take two rigs minimum home, upgrade them a little and use them as one server.
Well, the other ones I think I'll just try to restore them and sell them
So yeah, I thought of getting another table
Going to put that next to my console shelf, with two old monitors (one old VGA only 4:3 and an old TV) with some screw organizers.

I can finally recover this old laptop OS
heck yeah
I couldn't find that before on archive.org, since I was just not hoping it to be there I called out in the LGR Reddit if someone knows where there might be the recovery partition or atleast some sort of iso. After a day someone just posted that link, I'm so glad.
I did many soldering projects with them
That was fun…
My next little restoration project, this ASUS P50IJ. Cleaning it out and later on installing a Crucial MX 500GB SSD, when it arrives.

And ofcourse compared to a Business Laptop, being 3 years older than the ASUS.
Well, it's nice to make money with that. 50€ again today
why does that hp keyboard look so weird 🤔
Numpad is ruled by a special key, so it is integrated in some other keys
actually the swiss layout, which would normally be in there, looks way weirder
Ewww, its an automatic

Hey there 
since I passed my drivers license exam this wednesday and also got my first car (which doesn't have Bluetooth nor an AUX-Input due to it's age)
I guess, I have to begin to make CD's again.
I have a Nero 2014 Platinum Recover Disc, however, the recover disc is so much scratched, the ODD can't read it.
Now my question to y'all: Which burning program - which is easy to understand and is perhaps cheap or free to use - can you recommend me to burn some CDs?
TiA^Newt
Thanks!
But how do I do that then? I mean, with Nero I was able to sort the Tracks and I can do that in the explorer too? 
Kind of - however, after reading some recommendations, I've choosen ImgBurn - and it burned it so fast and my radio detects it 
Hai newt, I know it’s not really what you asked but you can always get a Bluetooth to FM transmitter, they’re pretty cheap on sites like Amazon/eBay and it just makes stuff easier 
Well, actually I have that one already - however it doesn't work well - but thank you for that Idea
really appreciate this!
Aw that’s a shame
It was a recent update iirc
I hate modern laptops.
But hey, atleast all three are now ready for SSDs
when they finally arrive
hey guys in a bit of a pickle need some help with my setup
Whats going on?

Maybe you should get these headphones. Ive heard they are good
i was looking at a steelseries arctix 7 wirless
Oh, those are probably better
i know what to get but dont know what to prioritise so like what should be on my list
and what i should get first
You might want to check what ports you have on your pc (for the second monitor)
i have dpi and hdmi on the gpu
everything is ok i know what to buy how to set up its just advice on what to prioritise should i get a monitor first or keyboard but ima wait till i sell my bike and just buy all of it at once
Anyone have/use an apple pencil and know if they are worth the money? 
I have used one since the release, i couldnt fault it

Thanks for the advice!
Does somebody have the beta driver for the Sinus W100/154 WLAN Stick? I know, it is a really old stick, but I wanted to use it on my HP. I can't find it online, so maybe somebody here would have that driver.
Just had the 3rd PSU failure in 2 months, I swear I'm cursed
I thought EVGA G2s were supposed to be solid
ouch
I wonder if I could run a 3090 from this 
eeehhh I wouldn't try it
Yeah... Only seems to have 1 PCIE for the GPU
Any one any idea why my disk is at 100% all the time? It’s something called “system” that’s sapping it all. Ping in response pls
kieran have you visited any shady sites lately?
Wait I don't think it's that... Have you upgraded to an SSD yet?
texan viruses can hide themselves as system processes
Is there anyway to connect to another simulation without restarting the game over and over?
Nope.
I fixed it dw
But yes of course I have 
yea don't visit shady sites if you don't want bugs in your pc
You're still on Pie? What phone is that?
Hopefully this one lasts more than a week 
I see, there are no custom ROMs for that either apparently so.. you might be stuck on Pie
probably just gonna get xiaomi phone soon 
xiaomi offer better spec and lower prices rather than oppo that offer higher price and low end specs
RGB psu 
I do have a Xiaomi phone, really good value for the money. The 11T Pro just came out, it's about 500$ if you're interested
More FPS 
probably gonna buy redmi 9T iirc.....decent spec and quite cheap also
R u from China?
no but somewhere in malaysia 
Oooh, so coloros is the only official rom for your device?
Colors os mostly made for China users
idk but probably
then oppo in europe uses what OS them 
most oppo phones in southeast asia uses ColorOS
Are Samsung Galaxy phones available where you live? Cause if so, its better for most use cases.
yea
but can't afford for one
here we have lower currency value so most flagship phones are quite expensive
Ah ok, still maybe take a look at some of their budget lineups. At least they support their phones longer.
But the redmii one is good too I think from what I saw
but I see that samsung now making budget phones so maybe gonna take a look at some 
Yes, the A series is quite popular as a budget lineup and it goes on sale often or is a part of various promotions.
The A42 5G for example, could be nice if on discount
Honestly, you could get a decent A-line phone and not miss anything. The only real reason, for me at least, why you'd consider the S-line is for the camera or display.
Prob oos?
I have it. It's alright but it's MIUI so it's buggy sometimes
Got myself a little table for repair work
PC won't boot with more than 1 RAM stick yet both RAM sticks work fine individually and every RAM slot seems to work. Anyone got any ideas as to what could be causing it?
most likely different speeds and different ram capacities oh and don't mix brands
They're not different speeds or capacities, they're both identical. I was running them fine before I switched mobos
Yes. I have tried all slot combinations and every slot works but whenever I use 2 sticks I just get boot loops
A2 B2, A1 B1, A1 B2 you name it I've tried it
Apparently it's either going to be a CPU or mobo issue but my CPU is definitely fine and the mobo is brand new :/
And that's where custom ROMs come in to play, they can really speed up old/cheap phones
This^ not every time
this is my friend behavior, he loves to change ROM to europe version of MIUI because of faster updates and many features 
MIUI China builds usually have more features tho 
recently my pc will shut off itself while gaming, it's not always but like rarely, who knows what happened?
I suspect the psu....it's getting really hot
What PSU GPU and CPU?
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
GPU: Gigabyte GT 630 rev 2
PSU: AVF PS500 - F1V2 500W
Idk if you heard the psu or not
How old is the PSU?
idk but someone write "2015" on it
Check the plugs to see if they're in properly, and check the pins and wires for corrosion.
Yeah, if the PSU's getting hotter than normal.
You could try updating the BIOS first, and seeing if it still restarts. But it's prob the PSU.
the timebomb

Which brand had recalls?
changing my psu as fast as possible
although in my psu it's "chengX" not "chongX" idk if it just a same brand or mislabeled
probably getting new psu when my dad get his money this month 
hehe
I'm thinking of selling my current case
I don't like those full glassy cases
I atleast want to have DVD/CD/Floppy drive bays
Something like that would fit me much better.
this is my current one.
you got lian li pc O11 
sitting under my desk
iirc, phanteks made one case with dvd drive 
RGB 
Yep.
I should either make more use out of that and put it on the table or get a different case
Since I'm using those two
The AOpen can also be used in a drive bay, I just need to remove the cover around it
90s CD RW drive I use on daily basis, it is way faster than my LG drive
That's definitely old school
Just found compatible drivers to use for Windows 10, so it works like a charm
I still have my old IBM PC laying around somewhere, don't have old CRT monitor to go with it though
Wanna show pictures of that? I'm kinda interested now lol
Btw I'm currently cloning a laptop HDD to SSD at my repair station, so since I needed a SATA cable I opened up my old HP xD
Pretty sure it's been collecting dust 😂
Holy moly that's a long time, I'd love to see that one back in action again
I believe last time it ran Win98
That's really cool
Xsplit vs Streamlabs obs. Whats the best? I want something who have less performance on gameplay and stream at same time if possible
never used either cause i use OBS but OBS is more user friendly
streaming also depends on your pc specs and internet speeds
So obs uses maybe less resources? And whats the main difference between Streamlabs obs and obs ? 🙂
When not streaming game performance is perfect , when i stream fps goes down 10-20 fps . Thats a kill for the fun indeed. But maybe i could try only OBS of course
streaming will always affect FPS unless your pc specs can offset the performance hit
Aah i see 🙂thanks for the reply 🙂 its not hopeless to stream just abit less quality, which can be solved lower the settings of course .
From my experience, idk why but for some reason Streamlabs OBS is more of a resource hog than OBS Studio, so I'd recommend OBS Studio instead
Thx for the advice 🙂 will try that one next time
cuz technically Streamlabs OBS is a glorified OBS Studio

I just use bandicam with nvidia nvenc, it kill 1-2 fps but still get smooth gameplay and video
who knows how this psu perform......probably gonna get this one bcause cheap
I've heard the v2 is fine, but not the previous one
Can't understand Apple's logic, like surely most people who are on the apple ecosystem uses macbooks which, surprise surprise, uses USB-C
New iPad mini has that too
Type C is only just being used by Apple? Strange.
I've tried to buy the elite series but folks saying it's a bad psu
i have a corsair PSU

Opinion on TPLink USB WIFI dongle?
Kinda wanna get two of them for my old Windows 7 machines
Btw, original HP keyboard I found, happened to be the exact one for my desktop. It was pretty dirty, so I gave it a clean. The color there can be fixed with a new paint, along with that I need to retrobrite the keys.
they both look ewww 
DRP gang 
the fan clips on this cooler are by far the worst i have ever worked with
it makes installation (and removal especially) of the stock middle fan horrible
135x135x22 fan with 120mm fan mounts...
seems all the be quiet coolers have awful fan mounts
I had a pure rock in my previous setup, and the fan mounts were awful as well
I'm not using the usb dongle, but I have one of the pcie wifi adapter, it's 300mbps and not bad, prices also quite cheap
for those that annoyed with windows 11's context menu
https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/windows-11-classic-context-menus
I have both but I don't really need 7-Zip.
I rather having bad looking menu than having the way harder to choose a menu
Once Windows 10 is unsupported am headed straight for Linux.
When that happens I will be permanently ditching Windows.
I would now but driver support is an issue for me.
How your driver support issue will be resolved after Windows 10 retirement?
I really feels like to move straight to linux but I'm a rookie in linux so it's a little bit headache there
yeah I am just waiting for the right time
My mainboards I use only have one PCIe Gen 1 slot with 5 PCI slots
Imagine having better specs in a 200€ phone then in an 700€ iPhone xr
I just swapped to an redmi note 10 5G and it's better imo
well you can search for PCI wifi adapter but it will be slower than PCIE
Yeah and it sadly is more rare to get one in new condition
huh lol
well I stay with Windows 10 for now
Maybe I'm also going to set up a drive with Windows 7.
I would absolutely love to go Linux, but I have too much Windows stuff going on.
It won't work for sure.
Idk about Linux that much is my problem, isn't it that you can't play certain games/use certain apps on there?
Yes, mostly with Anti-Cheat software (it is getting better now, thanks Valve and Steam Deck)
wondering, how ets2 gonna fit in steam deck? it only has less than 10 button and ets2 has more that 20 function to bind 🤔
You can connect your keyboard 
Well, I bound some functions to my wheel, and some I'd bind to the Streamdeck
wdym?
No, since it has one already, as you can see pretty clearly. Unless you want to have a custom water cooling loop, then you need a different cooler for water, yes.
So whats the bracket in the middle for?
The X with square in the middle. Dont you have to buy a cooler to attach onto that?
absolutely not
that bracket is already holding the cooler in place on the card
the gpu is on the other side of the card
where the fans and the radiator are
Oh okay til ty
£2300 for a gaming GPU is absolutely ridiculous. God knows what the prices are gonna look like in 5 years time

is it only me or the epic game store quite cpu heavy?
wouldn't surprise me if it was cpu heavy cause all epic cares about is taking your money
and then epic just puts viruses on your pc.
explain what?
How much CPU Power would that vote be using?
It has no context, so there is nothing to be addressed.
So I just made the test, if my PC fulfills the requierements for Win11 - everything runs, except the CPU, which is a AMD Ryzen 7 1700. As if that is old O.o
What TPM version on your mb?
2.0
Is it enabled?
Nevermind. I just read --> https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors

yep....
I stay on win10 forever I guess
cuz this PC is perhaps my last PC, as for now

You can update to windows 11 by going in windows update and there's a popup is it? I didn't see any tho 
Yeah. You need health checker.
microsoft killing itself 💀
Remember you can't get updates anymore if you do this, also if you update when your PC is not fully compatible
And make sure that you have secure boot and tpm enabled. (Or in my case, also make sure that your Windows drive is set to GUID partition for UEFI bios otherwise, even if secure boot is enabled in the bios, windows doesn't recognize it.)
i'm gonna die of laughter 😂

I use firefox and text on a website is the same colour as the website backround
anyone know how to fix this?
are you using any brower extensions?
That night mode extension is a pos and I've used it before it made everything black.
That could be it.
i'm using one called dark reader
Well, torrent downloads sure take alot of time.
Well, I finally found the original OS and data by a Norton Ghost (.gho) Save found on archive.org.
I hope that will work as I happened to have a copy of Norton Ghost
Depends on seeds and leechers
The more the better
I recovered the long lost Compaq nc8430 OEM OS.
Now need to fiddle through russian language lol
And I don't know how to set it to german/english ._.
Well, I want to get the interface to German or atleast english, so that I can actually use the laptop with the original OS.
Found the Norton Ghost file to restore the original OS, didn't say it would be russian lol
It might not have any other locales though
Uffff
I'll try the recovery partition
Ok only russian uff
Can I get new locales though?
It is WinXP right?
If the update servers aren't down, you can download other locales as update packages
Okay gonna try that
If you need help with Russian, let me know
Alright, I tried the mark in language options
If not I'll have to get a seperate language pack somehow
Funny actually, some things are german
But heck how do I get it to be completely german
Do you know that, like installing those packages?
That's a Regional Formats. You need "Языки" tab.
Then?
Hm... It is different. Are you scared of this machine being connected to the Internet? If not, then we can arrange a Teamviewer session.
Well, it only runs over wifi hotspot, can't get it to connect to normal wifi since the wpa2 thing doesn't work
Or atleast I have no option to use the access point password, it only tries to connect directly to it
"Подробнее" probably
I can try give it internet access over my main rig
Gosh it was easier back then, it doesn't work by just plugging in a lan cable
I managed it, so yeah gonna get TeamViewer quick
Downloading 
Uh well, Support Pack 3 required
AmmyyAdmin?
How about anydesk
Will do
Alrighty, I'm in
Drop me an ID in DMs
yep
i will try disabling them
but all of them are extensions i need
Thanks to CJMAXiK this old Compaq notebook has its original OS. Just downloading the updates now, after that I have a full German (instead of Russian lol) install of the OEM OS.
The HP community now has another Recovery Disc ISO collection saved for the Compaq nc8000 series. They said they didn't have them anymore, now they will again.
Good job 
used firefox in safe mode but still has the issue
so annoying
had to refresh
getting all my stuff back now xD
doesnt look like any of the extensions did it
damn OEM OS back then was good where you can get free software (although it's from OEM)....but now ....it just bloatware and useless
Btw why do you need unsupported windows xp in 2021? Just to have nostalgia or...?
Because I want to
- see how it performs in 2021 with the original OEM OS
- recover the old OEM recovery files since HP themselves don't have them anymore (Been in contact with them)
- say that idc about the fact being "unsupported", I'm not like the Minecraft Forge team who just is like "EhH tHiS vErSiOn Is NoT sUpPoRtEd AnYmOrE, and we don't let the community maintain the older MC versions either. So I'm gonna use that Laptop for tasks that are only available on Windows XP.
- feel the nostalgia I grew up with.
I had a huge nostalgia hit once I've connected to that machine
But I have a very different approach - I like to see how old devices work with newer OSes.
Ohh, that will also be interesting
somebody there said he ran Windows 10 on a Compaq nc6400 (lightweight version of mine) and it works just fine.
Still have a spare SSD lying around, so I might wanna try that lol
ouuu AMD K9/11
But it was fine, except touchpad
how's the condition of that laptop
Apart from the battery, pretty fine. I can't remember if I ever opened it or not.
Yeah, sad that the batteries don't last that long
I revived mine by getting a new battery and cmos
Welp, now gonna deal with a Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop.
ASUS P50IJ, weird enough though it doesn't want to check for updates/install them manually
Just throws me an error that checking for updates isn't possible & when I try to download updates manually, trying to install them it just says "This update is not applicable to your computer"
if someone knows how to fix that, please tell me
Alright, figured it out so far. Installing Support Pack 1 right now 
Maybe this guy deserves a RAM upgrade
and maybe CPU aswell

so just learned what is symlink and gonna try it out with ets2
so I don't need to have different saves in different os 
oh no it's not working 
Try this
https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html @mighty idol
Well, windows xp is no more supported by Microsoft and if im not wrong you're not able to visit banking sites due to ssl stuff (its easy to bypass but anyways), that's a fact
(pls ping me if you reply to me, i've lost your message)
Like I said, it's like the Minecraft Forge team; it doesn't mean that the community won't support that. I love and help those communities to still live on and improve those OS versions. Also, I obviously don't use it to go on banking sites, that's way to dumb to do.
okay I'm gonna try hardlinks....
You can do symlinks too with that tool
Those are not embeds
Just the first kind of quoting
Now it's the reply function
nice setup !
Anyone knows a good USB soldering iron?
Yep
I have Google 
ok
Thanks

now I know it did exist 
Got some old hardware from my school
2 40GB HDDs and this little board
Might get some more HDDs, they still have like 10 of those with 40/60GB
What cpu is that? An older Pentium or celeron?
One message removed from a suspended account.
damn it got turbo on it 
Core 2 Duo E7500
and it can oc ddr2 up to 1066 💀
IDE 
and from when did the hard drive came from? never looks a seagate drive like that before
Core 2 Duo wow. Surprised that the mb has a black pcb as a lot of boards in that Era were green unless you paid 💰 iirc
seems like a somewhat expensive board in retro spec
having OC DDR2 RAM slots, two PCIe slots
they seemed to be in an old server, had numbers on them
I also got 2 PCIE slot 
just the oc DDR2 slot is kinda cool
no more updating graphic driver 
[ everyone using a 750 Ti disliked that ]
Nah, 750 Ti is on Maxwell architecture. They'll still get updates.
not for long most likely
Gonna need a GPU like that for atleast one of my rigs
Damm, why did this chip shortage have to come where I just get hardware like almost every day for free
If someone knows cheap DDR2 RAM (I need atleast 4 2GB sticks) please message me, shipment to Germany. Maybe one like PC2-6400 800MHz 4GB Kit and the other one for that OC 1066 board, would be neat.
Samsung 4 GB Dual Channel Kit (2x 2GB) DDR2 800MHz PC2-6400 240 pin Desktop RAM Memory 3rd DIMM https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0716DDWW1/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glc_i_CC9AD2C8KSZ0ZB7TQJDZ
This would be a great replacement for the 1GB Kit of my HP Pavilion, well I hope that those will run okayish.
Hello i need some help please
Im looking to buy this keyboard
But i dont like the keycaps
Im looking at these keycaps
How will i know if they will fit?
Are they from the same manufacturer
No
Go to local shop and try typing on them
That is the best solution
….
Only you know how it will fit you :)
No i am talking about the key covers
I want the cherry blossom key covers but on the white keyboard haha
Key stuff or keyboard? 🤔
Look at both messages. I want to buy the top keyboard. And i want to buy the key caps on the second keyboard and put them onto the first keyboard 
I'm 99% sure there's 14-day charge back warranty, so buy and try them on, if they dont fit get them to shop.
Both keyboards have the same brand of switches? (Like cherry MX, for example)
Well the keyboard in bottom pic isnt actually a keyboard its just the caps
But yes both of them say cherry mx

True +10% accuracy with every bit of rgb
Reviving DVD RW drive
Well, apparently the Hard drives I got from school still have data on them lol
Gonna check out the 40GB IDE ones soon, maybe I can get some old Windows 98/2000/XP stuff from them
Well, one of the 40GB works, gonna check the other one next
Seems it has like 30MB/s write speed, when it runs speedy it can go up to 140 MB/s, not that bad for an IDE drive that old
So yeah, gonna have a good base for my older PC projects, gonna use them for like my 486 or such
That's gaming chairs for you
Does anyone know a fix for armoury crate?
I installed armoury crate for my asus motherboard. And the rgb on motherboard worked great. Then i had issues with armoury crate throwing an error every time i played ets2 so i uninstalled armoury crate but now the rgb is on rainbow effect
As shown here is there a way to get armoury crate to be installed but not throw an error up on my screen every 5 seconds?
Error code says “unknown device unable to be found or has been moved” something like that but i dont understand what that means as nothing has moved

Bluetooth sucks imo
I'd be happy to have bluetooth in my car
yes that's nice n all but my bluetooth controller can't take it anymore.
Am going completely wired again.
My headphones suck.
RIP
Might just be a you issue. Ive never had issues with any bluetooth things in the past (currently using wired)
Great idea! A good way to make money is by cleaning up and reselling tech 🙂
I have like Win 7 Home Premium and Professional
Nice then 
My stuff arrives today 😄
cool
Yes ^_^
12 new SATA cables arrived today, finally.
Gonna use them on the spare hardware I have
Maybe I can get a spare case from school with a power supply, so I'd have another desktop
Looks like cool collection coming along 
I'm looking for a white keyboard. maximum 50€

Did you not like the Razer black widow keyboard?
All white corsair pc… then black razer accessories which was nightmare as half the time razer synapse wasnt working like it should. Then i couldnt get razer stuff to work with corsair stuff lighting wise
tech
Also didnt look right where as now white pc and white accessories aswell ^_^
I also have white mousemat but it takes long time to arrive from usa
Looks so nice!!!
the only problem with white pc accessories is you have to clean them daily
Small price to pay for such lovely looking stuff 🙂
I wanna get the old Simcity Versions now damn
Since I only have Simcity 5 with the incredible Cities of Tomorrow soundtrack
it looks like transport tycoon aswell kinda
In fact it is, just the community project to maintain it
Has multiplayer support etc.
Chris Sawyer's locomotion also has an Open Source version, OpenLoco, so nice to see those games revived
yeah its good to keep them going
i wish i knew where to get dizzy from
the android app remake isnt great
