I mean if replacing the hdd it is gonna prevent me from messing anything else up I should probably just do that. It's probably for the best, Even if you managed to get Windows on there, there's no guarentee that the windows partition would even allow anything else to install on it or otherwise. If the HDD didn't let you set it up the first time it's because something was physically wrong.  | ||

Sometimes things go wrong, but that is inevitable. That should never dissuade you from learning how to build your own PC. It seems like owb is most likely dealing with a manufacture defect considering what he has said so far. | ||

Hell, I had never even booted up my computers BIOS before. Yup, computers are a lot like cars. They're very intimidating at first but a lot of stuff can be done a lot cheaper by yourself. Watching a LPer that I watch play Dark Souls. He starts trying out ranged combat and lets the zombie walk up and whack him while aiming. XD | ||
