djway, wax... any other IT people, i need help with my crap ass pc!
Ok, theres 2 things, from last month my comp is makin these weird ass noises very loud... like a car choking on bad oil or something... when you start the pc up it makes it the it goes away.. is it dying??
also i wanna reformt my pc BUT all of a sudden a couple months ago my floppy drive doesn't work.. like it doesn't turn on to read floppy discs and stuff. Now when i format the pc, doesn't it need the floppy drive to load like a boot disc or something??? is there another way around this? could i use like a cd instead of a floppy??
cheers,

watched part 1 and 2 last week or so... some hectic .. need more movies like this. |
Good to see you enjoyed Godfather 1 & 2, probably among the best films ever. Godfather 3, on the other hand, is probably among the test movies ever.
Why is it that the third film in a trilogy is almost always the tiest? (Godfather 3, Scream 3, Return of the Jedi, Matrix Revolutions etc) Return of the King seems to be the only exception... |

The very loud grinding sound is probably a fan dying. Open up the case while it's making the noise and you'll probably see which one it is.
If you're going to reformat, you won't need your floppy drive if your computer is less than about 3-4 years old. You will be able to just boot directly off the Windows CD (though if it doesn't work and you're using a burnt copy of a friend's CD, don't come complaining to me :p). |

certainly sounds like a fan dying.
and if you do need a floppy drive, go and buy from a computer store, they are only 10 dollars or so. But yeah, you should be able to boot from the cd. |

Ok cool thanx, will the fan cause major problem if i leave it? cause it seems to work still but just makes very bad noises.
Also my comp is like 6+ years old, so will that be bad?? Because i remember one day i wanted to take my pc to a comp shop to get it fixed, on it's way there the whole thing stuffed up and wouldn't turn on anymore.. so i had to pay to get that fixed awell :(... BUT at that time the floppy still didn't work and they installed a brand new windows, so most likely it was done off CD but i don't know how too :conf: |
