Previous thread: >>55284993
So i finally managed to create a bootable win 7 install usb however as soon as i get past the welcome box it gives me this STUPID fucking retarded CD/DVD device driver missing error every single time.
I have literally tried everything at this point. The problem is that my netbook i'm trying to install win 7 on does not have any kind of dvd drive. I even put out the 2,5" hdd and put it into a sata bridge to install win7 from another PC on there but the retarded kikerosoft devs are apparently to stupid to make the windows installer work on external hdd's for some reason.
So yeah, i'm back to square one now and no matter what i try the fucking error doesn't resolve itself. I even tried injecting proper usb 3.0 drivers into the iso via the intel win 7 usb creator utility but instead of booting up properly into the install screen now it's permanently stuck on a black screen when i boot from the thumb drive.
The funny thing is that i somehow managed to get win7 on said netbook once before but i forgot how i managed to do that and now it's not working at all fuck
I am literally fucking desperate at this point, how the FUCK do i make this stupid retarded bitchass shit work fuck fuck FUCK
Also the reason i want to reinstall is because i turned on file compression by accident when i merged two partitions earlier and this fucked up the bootmgr for some reason. It says bootmgr is missing every time now.
So yeah the OS itself is still on the hdd but it refuses to boot up. I tried the startup repair/recovery console but no matter what commands i put into there from other threads it does not fucking work
How do i fix the missing bootmgr lads cmon

I think there's something up somewhere along the chain since it keeps dismounting during transfers, and this is on multiple computers.

Is there a way to make windows server 2012 look more more drivers?
It only really seems to find a few drivers, while windows 7 8 and 10 will download pretty much everything which makes me think it isn't "looking hard enough" for drivers
Have a live USB for Ubuntu, need a live USB for Windows.
Can I boot into Ubuntu off the USB then reformat the drive it's on?
>>55296290
I'd say the SD to USB adapter is the culprit. Get a Enlight 3.5" SD adapter (look on google,it's a big multi reader),connect it to a usb header on your motherboard,and check if it works.
>>55296263
Look for a bootmgr file on the root of your HDD. If it isn't there,try to copy it from the Windows DVD to the root of HDD,and try to see if it boots.

Wait,you want to format the USB that Ubuntu is on,while being on the live Ubuntu on the USB? Well,no,you can't. You need a Ubuntu install on the HDD,and from there you can use your favourite USB install application for Linux.

i want to upgrade my ram and the motherboard has 4 slots of ddr2 and supports max of 8gb, should i buy 4 dimms of 2Gb or i can get 2dimms of 4Gb in case i upgrade the motherboard to a newer one that supports 16gb with the same cpu?
I'm using win7 and google couldn't help:
My mouse is locked, it lags when I click, I can't click on anything, and my stereo makes beeping noises when I click/scroll.
What do I do? I got here via keyboard shortcuts
>>55296478
DDR2 is obsolete, anything new you would buy would not be compatible.
>>55296500
im about to replace ddr2 with ddr2 modules, so for everything new i bought it works
which one of you faggots was this?
>>55296514
Your question was whether you should buy a different size RAM to carry over to a new motherboard
If you got a new motherboard it should not be using DDR2 and thus planning like this is pointless.
>>55296533
the questions was about the number of modules. new motherboard was a future scenario in case the one i have fails and i want to buy jsut a newer motherboard with the same socket that can support 16gb of ram instead to upgrade to a newer platform

>Look for a bootmgr file on the root of your HDD. If it isn't there,try to copy it from the Windows DVD to the root of HDD,and try to see if it boots.
Alright so i tried to do robocopy from usb to c:\ bootmgr, it said the operation was completed succesfully however with robocopy from usb \Boot to C:\Boot /s it says it can't find the file specified or something ("System cannot find the file specified")
Also when i do dir c:\ /ah it says 0 files found or something
The startup repair says that the boot mgr is missing or corrupt too and that it can't find the file
Wat do now
>>55296676
>>55296676
Also i tried marking the partition as active via cmd too as apparently that did the trick for some people but in my case it still doesn't work so yeah
>>55296676
Wait,what did you use to copy it?
You need to do this from the Windows DVD CMD window - boot into the DVD,and do this:
1.SHIFT+F10
2.Go to your DVD drive,and locate the bootmgr (should be root of the DVD I think)
3.Write copy bootmgr C:\ and press enter.
4.Reboot.
You need to copy the bootmgr file (it won't have any extension) to the C:\ root. Why did you use robocopy is beyond me.

Alright so i'm at the root folder of the installation medium, did a directory listing and this is what i get
>setup.exe
>Program Files folder
>sources folder
>Users folder
>Windows folder
No bootmgr to be found though which i could copy onto C:\
Wat do?
I used the robocopy thing cuz that's something i stumbled upon here in this article so i decided to just try it out .terabyteunlimited.com/kb/article.php?id=411
Also as i wrote above the netbook doesn't have any inbuilt drives so that's why i'm using a bootable thumb drive with the win7 iso on it. I tried this stuff before with an externally connected drive but this gives me frequent I/O errors so even getting into the install screen is a pure gamble, the usb thing is more reliable in this regard
>>55296183
Go into BIOS and check that USB 3.0 is disabled that usually helps
Within the sources folder there's a file called boot.wim, i don't suppose that's the clean bootmgr i'm looking for though
>>55296814
>>55296863
Okay,I need you to tell me if the drive you listed there is X:\. (windows setup has a X:\ drive)
If yes,try changing to D or E drive. You have to see which one is your HDD and which one is your pendrive,omitting the X:\ drive which is just a temporary PE environment drive.
Usually,your pendrive should list this:
>support
>sources
>efi (think this is optional,doesn't matter in what we need to do)
>boot
>setup.exe
>bootmgr.efi
>bootmgr
>autorun.inf
Now,from all these,the one that we need is the one before autorun.inf (in my list) - this is the one that you need to copy - do this by going into the root of your pendrive (D or E,depending on what letter your USB drive was assigned)and doing this:
1.Do a "dir" to see the contents.
2.Write "copy bootmgr C:\"
3.Check your C drive. If it worked,your laptop should boot.
Heh, i mounted the iso on my main machine now and suddenly the two bootmgr files popped up into view (one of them is just listed as "file", the other one as "efi file")
For some reason it doesn't show up within the cmd on the netbook or doesn't get recognized, no wonder the copy didn't work earlier
Alright i'll give it another go now with the efi file
>>55296899
Copy both. If your notebook is UEFI based,it may need it.
>>55296795
Cons are that they can be hard to get into and require you to keep a good ratio. People use it because they have more obscure shit on them.
>>55296796
ffmpeg is pretty much the best there is
>>55296964
More like the only one there is. Everything else is either a fork of it, based on it, or just plain shit.
>>55296893
>>55296893
Yeah it's all listed from X:, i didn't know it was a special temp directory just for the whole installation process, the thing is i actually didn't know the drive letter for the thumb drive up until now but just did a checkup with wmic and now i know that it was separate the whole time
What's also weird is that there's two removable disks listed despite only one thumb drive being plugged in at this moment in time
HOLY FUCK and now i just got this after i successfully copied the bootmgr onto C:
>Windows boot manager - Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
>File: \BOOT\BCD
>Status: 0xc00000f
>An error occured while attempting to read the boot config data
>>55296910
>>55296910
Nope it's still not working, copied both bootmgr files and still getting >>55297033 just now
What the actual fuck is going on FUCK
>>55297033
BCD can be fixed easier I think - just follow the steps here:
http://www.think-like-a-computer.com/2015/04/17/boot-bcd-0xc000000f-windows-7/
This will fix the BCD error,unless you have windows installed on a GPT partition.
>>55296523
also if you run that network monitoring software again i'm gonna tell on you
Is it normal that there's only three files when i do a directory listing of C? There's just the two bootmgr files and a Temp folder
Also the "volumename" thing right next to "Local Fixed Disk C:" is empty and it says "Volume in drive C has no label." for some reason too
Could this be why the boot still isn't working?
I tried the bootrec thing listed here
.think-like-a-computer.com/2015/04/17/boot-bcd-0xc000000f-windows-7
but when i type in cd windows on C: it just says "The system cannot find the path specified."

In simple terms, what is rooting a phone like? A clean install with less restrictions, a patch or something else? Basically, will I have to redownload all my apps?
How do I check why Foobar is freezing if it freezes before the console is updated?
Also, what could it possibly be if:
>it only happens to a specific album, the bands other uploads are fully functional and have essentially the exact same file specs
>it was working perfectly fine before
>a fresh bandcamp download doesn't fix it
>it works as normal in other players
Are there any sort of Foobar crash dump components out there?
>>55297562
I've done it, and as far as my technologically impaired mind understands it; rooting a phone basically just means you unlock the phone's fundamental software permissions.
However, doing that will allow you to install another operating system. And doing that usually includes formatting your main drive, but not necessarily your SD-cards, so it depends where your apps are.
There are various custom operating systems out there, and I didn't research in detail but the most popular one that I'm also using is CyanogenMod. Google that, and I'm sure you'll find some basic tutorials on how to get started.
>get two new 1866 CL 10 RAM modules
>old pair is 1600 CL 9
>the old modules ran at 1866 with no problems
>motherboard shows that new RAM needs 3T command rate (as in XMP)
>UEFI doesn't even have such option
>sandra shows that it should have 2T
>choose the XMP in UEFI
>it's running at 1600 instead of 1866
>sandra shows it has now 4T command rate
>set the XMP parameters manually
>PC doesn't start with those settings
Holy fuck, where is the truth? Whom should I trust?
>>55297778
>>55297562
Also, I should add that operating systems seem like they are very different, so if you want the least bloated/most minimalistic one you'll simply have to browse some top-10 lists until you find one with a appealing description and then look up some reviews about it somewhere else.

Had a power outage yesterday. Now Windows 7 gets stuck when booting. If I switch to IDE mode it boots, but it's slow as fuck, moreso than it should be even for IDE. Also during boot all USB devices go off and back on.

>>55298394
>>55298461
Tried. Upon looking at the event viewer, says the SSD has bad blocks over and over again. Is there a way to recover bad blocks on an SSD or is it completely fucked?
>>55298488
Try chkdsk /f /r
Hope you got backup anyway.
>>55298488
to invoke the drives' bad block reallocation, you need to overwrite the block
you only get an error if you attempt to read a bad block
you're in trouble if the drive is out of bad blocks (you can work around it in some cases, but the drive will probably be pretty worn if it's out of reallocation space)
>>55298523
>if the drive is out of bad blocks
er, out of reallocation space

Netbook guy >>55296183 again here with an update, i actually managed to get the FUCKING thing running now, and here's how i did it;
Basically i just threw in my old vista DVD and let it install. Unlike the win 7 install DVD it immediately recognized the hdd once i turned AHCI back on. Installed perfectly fine with no error messages and nothing, it really is because of the botched horrid win 7 installer.
So the very first thing i do after landing on the fresh vista desktop is to kick in the win 7 dvd (had to opt for the x86 version but heh that's a compromise i'm willing to make), start setup, chose not to upgrade, and it WORKS JUST LIKE THAT right out of the fucking box. No missing device bogus error message or anything of the sort.
And right now i'm doing the win 7 install live from the running vista OS and will be deleting the windows.old folder aftere it's done
That was literally all there was to it, it's amazing really
But yeah i'll take a look at the linux stuff too, i guess everyone has to switch anyways once win8 extended support dies in the 2020's and there's only win10 botnet left heh

Are there any cheap music player out there? Something smaller than Fiio and still have decent music quality
i have a samsung i927. its old but it has a keyboard and replacement batteries are $10. had it since 2012 and its still going good.
yesterday though it started eating through the battery. i charged it to 100% and picked it up like 2 hours later, and it was down to like 38%. checked my running apps and theres google play services running at full speed for seemingly no reason. rebooted, cleared cache, shut it down and pulled the battery for a while. play services just destroys the battery the moment its booted up.
i had to do 'uninstall updates' to play services and now its waiting for me to login. at least like this it isn't eating my battery, its normal again. whats going on with play services thats making it run full speed in the background all the time? and why did it start so suddenly? i've had the same rom on my phone (4.0) for over 2 years.

I plan to learn a lot about servers (both win and Linux ones) in VMs. Does using SSD improves performances of VMs? Or is it just sufficient RAM that matters?

Download Hirens or ultimate boot CD on USB drive. see if you can still read from the drive. if you can you should be able to copy the data to an external HDD.

After some point you will be able to do stuff with emacs that you will not be able to do with a regular editor however long you learn them. The question is - do you need all that fancy stuff and do you have time to invest into it?

So I have a couple of old Windows PCs that I used as a child that I want to save and store as is for nostalgic hoarding purposes. They'll be like little musuems of my youth.
HOWEVER
I'd also want to make backups and sort the files in some capacity since it's quite chaotic right now. Have any of you got any tips and recommendations for programs or tools that can help me lessen the tediousness of the manual workload? Similar to SpaceSniffer for example.
I wish I had some sort of protocol to follow to make sure I don't forget anything. Doesn't help that my current machine is in a similar state of disarray.
TL;DR File sorting programs/tools and tips for a Windows PC?

So this is a question for audio fags.
I have those a pair of Apple pro speakers that came with my old imac(crystal ball speakers). I want to use them because they're aesthetically pleasing but the jack they use doesn't work with anything.
Looking around everyone says the solution is to buy a overpriced discontinued adapter called the Ifire or to mod it myself. The problem with self modding is that I would need to get an amp to provide power to the balls which would make everything all the less aesthetically pleasing.
There must be another solution.

I am charging my samusng tablet with the original charger, but with a new usb cable because the original one died, but this new cable is really overheating at the place it connects to the charger, pic related.
I can put my hand on it for more than two seconds.
So, is it safe to use ? Can it destroy my tablet ?

It could destroy your tablet when the cable catches fire and burns everything down, or perhaps when the wires melt and short circuit.

I usually use FFMPEG to convert my MKV videos to MP4 and edit them on Premiere Pro CC.
My pc have an Intel i7-2600K @ 3.40 GHz and a GTX 760, so I know Premiere Pro CC supports CUDA, but I think FFMPEG is just using the CPU and not the video card, how do I know if it is using it and how do I set FFMPEG to use the GTX 760 for rendering?
The basic command for convert videos is the following:
> ffmpeg -i input.mkv output.mp4

C/C++ and python are my main languages because they cover most any problem I face... The nice thing thing about programming though is that if you are proficient in one language then it's typically easy to switch to others. I'd always try to be proficient in a Good programming language like c or java and then also a good scripting language like python or ruby. But the most important thing for an undergrad CS major is to DO PROJECTS. Nothing gives you skills and experience or makes your resume look good like doing projects.
>>55299417
Doing programming projects is the best way to get better. Java is a good language and syntax is always easy to learn if you have to switch to something else. I'd say you should pick up a scripting language like python too.

Sup /g/ help me pick a receiver.
Some details
I have a 2014 50' LG TV with a 2015 LG sound bar(2.1 channel, 320W). Connected to the tv is a PS4 and my laptop(I'm planning to add at least 2-3 more devices).
I mostly use my TV for gaming, and also listen to music through my sound bar. I would want a receiver that could do lagless passthrough since gaming is my main use for the TV. Audio quality is obviously important since I do like listening to music. On occasion I'll watch a movie but I do tv shows more than movies. I've been reading a lot that AV receivers focus mostly on sound for movies, it'd be nice to find something that makes everything (music/gaming/movies) sound nice.
Main point is that I want a receiver that can do HDMI passthrough so i don't get lag when I game.
Much appreciated
I keep getting a Code 10 error with my new wireless adapter, as in it won't start.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, looking to delete the upperfilter/lowerfilters in regedit (there weren't any), hitting the WPS button on that and my router, looking for drivers on the manufacturer's site, I seriously have no idea what to do.
it's a Panda Wireless 802.11n adapter. it wouldn't work when I was running Windows 8.1, it's not working now with Windows 10. I can't return it and I'm not looking to buy a new one, I still have my old Netgear to fall back on but it's wonky sometimes.
Where does /g/ download .apk files? I just got a new phone today after not having one for months (LG G4 Bootloop).

Is there a way to make or buy a dust free box to work with hard drives?
Is there a way to maybe rent a dust free lab for this sort of thing? I have a hard drive that's knocking very loudly and I'm thinking I should open it to recover its data, it won't even mount.
>>55312908
This is one of those things where if you have to ask, you shouldn't be attempting it.
>>55312951
I've seen some videos where people just open it to start its spin and recover the data asap. I don't care about the drive, I just want its contents, but I guess getting some dust on it doesn't matter if I get the head working. I wonder if the knocking sound means that it's stuck or something else though.
