Comp clicks on boot

Name: Anonymous 2007-02-19 13:01

My computer makes this loud clicking sound nearly everytime I turn it on.  It shows my hard drives and CD drive, prompts me to save changes, then boots normally.  What's going on?

This might be because you have Opera installed.  Uninstall it now and see!

Um, no.  Also, in before 'decompile your kernel', whatever that means.

Then you should install it.

From my 10 secound look over prices seem to be better there.

Now that I have my new drive, I have a question.  Can I just copy everything from my boot drive to it and expect it to run, or do I have to reinstall Windows first?

Yes you can just copy it and it'll boot

Link?  Unless you're talking about the SATA drives, which I can't use.

There seems to be a problem, Anonymous.  With the boot drive plugged in, my computer doesn't read the 250.  If I plug in the 250 by itself, the computer only reads 137.  What do I do?

In before kill yourself, barrel roll, ect.

Disregard that, I suck cocks.  I found out that I knocked one of the IDE cables out of place.  I should be able to handle the rest from here.  Thanks, Anon.

So I copied the boot drive to the new hard drive, and everything works (so far), except msconfig.  I downloaded another one, and it won't run.  What happened?

I was looking around the internet, and found something about boot.ini.  If I rename the file then it runs, but obviously I can't save it like that.  Is there something in the file I can change safely?  Here's what it shows:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt
[operating systems]

Oh shi-
Copying old boot.ini to new drive = working program.
