Wow, that looks incredible! Also, she looks like Morgan Webb.

I'm interested as to how this would go...

Also, I think this should be moved to the Tech Forum.

We've been in debt for as long as I can remember, but I haven't helped pay anything since I can't get a job out here .

I think everyone is always going to be in debt. You just have some breaks from the hardship of it is all. I think of taxes and getting all that money back as a nice break from debt, but after it's gone it's back to how it was.

Or maybe I'm just bad with budgets.

Just stay away from credit cards, and actually think about those "deals" you're getting on certain things, like cars and household appliances. It can always cost a lot more, and the price tag is never ever right.

Well, he doesn't want to keep anything on it; he only uses it to get on Xbox Live, which is why I keep telling him to buy a router...

dont partition it, windows will delete the virus and every thing when it installs.  :

And pigs will fly... and yadda yadda yadda.

First thing of all, check *again* your XP CD.

This. I had pretty much the same problem some 10 months ago, and it turned out the CD had gotten fucked up. Try using a different CD (come on, we ALL have an additional "backup copy" >.>) - sometimes it works wonders.

We were using a fresh "backup copy" but to no avail.

I just took it to a computer specialist in my school, and he said that the drive won't format and without having a floppy drive on my friend's laptop, he can't really use too many utilities. The drive is most likely busted...

Well, it's settled for now. Thanks for all the help guys.

First thing of all, check *again* your XP CD. Even if it's not directly related to the  formatting jam.

Use FLush_HD, 3 or 4 times in a row to be very sure that the MBR is well emptied.

Try reinstalling it.

(EDIT : At that point, I'll maybe try Format32, nice bootable stuff)


Last ressort: try installing Ubuntu, then re-install XP over it.
(Sounds weird, but it did some miracles for me)

If it's still not working, I'm sorry... your HD is dead.

Good Luck

Sounds like a plan! It's late now, but I'll work on it tomorrow! Thanks.

Does the BIOS have option to low level formatting the drive? If so, then try it. While in BIOS, check the manufacturer of the disc and download a hdd diagnostic tool (they are usually stand alone boot images) that works on that drive and see if the drive is indeed damaged. Then try installing Windows again.

No, the BIOS has no options for any sort of formatting. I'll have to check for something on Compaq's website.

Does it always stop at the same percentage? If it stops at roughly the same place then there's something wrong with that part of the drive. You never have to uninstall windows... formatting the disk to a raw partition and having the windows setup rewrite should always work on a disk that isn't damaged.

I don't think that trying a different file structure is going to work, though if you feel adventurous enough and have the right sort of cable connector, you might want to pop the hard drive out of the laptop and try formatting it from a different computer. A 2.5 hard drive enclosure or any sort of 3.5 to 2.5 or 2.5 to usb adapter would let you hook the drive to a different machine to troubleshoot.

I wish you luck, hard drives can be tricky.

Well, it used to stop at 38%, but recently it gets to 3% and stops, and now it doesn't even go past 0%. We were following a guide on the internet about formatting the C drive and reinstalling Windows on it.

I also don't have those cables to try that with. Dang.

Well we just ran GParted and it seems the problem is making the drive NTFS, so we're gonna try formatting it to FAT32 first, and maybe Windows will have an easier time formatting it to NTFS.

I'll be back with an answer.

OK, so my friend got a really nasty virus on his laptop, and decided he wanted to erase everything off his HD. So we tried to do a partition of his C drive, using a copy of my Windows XP Pro.

The disc boots from start, and we deleted the C partition, and made a new one, C Partition (RAW) from the Windows Install CD. Now, before installing Windows, we had to format the partition to NTFS, but that's the problem. The program always freezes at a certain percentage, and never finishes. The other option, is to format for NTSC (quick), so we decided to try that second, and it finishes, but gives us a message saying "Setup cannot be completed. The disc may be damaged. Try installing on a different partition."

We can only make one partition, and it isn't working no matter what we do. What is the problem?

Before we did this, we didn't uninstall XP because his virus barely lets him do anything, so I was thinking maybe that would be the problem, but I don't think that matters...

Please help. It would be much appreciated!

This is extremely impressive! How long have you been working on this?

Well, here we go...

Playstation (Which I still play... just got done finishing SoTN again...)
Xbox
Sega Genesis (With 8 games!)

Broken/Lost:

Gameboy Advance (Original)
Gameboy Color
Gameboy
GameGear
N64 (I know where it is, but I bet if I get it it won't work anymore lol)
SNES (Was actually stolen... bastards)
Sega CD (I probably would have destroyed it myself)

Meh, thank god for emulation...

[I make them as fast as possible without taking care at detail."]

I think you answered your own question.

"I make them as fast as possible without taking care at detail."

Just take your time when drawing a sprite.

I would give you a paintover, but my mouse is broken until Christmas.

All I can suggest is looking at human anatomy, and looking at some professional sprites. Also, your colors are a bit saturated, especially the skin tone, but your sprite is still nice and functional.

Don't give me that BULLSHIT dawg, listen, sorry everyone, I might be annoying, I might be a dumb@$#@, But the one thing I have is my Del Monte Quality Fruit Punch and my Butter Cookies(made with real butter), and maybe some beer on the side.

Reply to me back if we are all truce, and I'll promise not to Post retarded questions.

Hmm, let's see. You broke that promise, and not only that, you're breaking forum rules by double posting, and this isn't the first time.

Not to mention you're being a total asshole to everyone who's taken their own time to help you, and SUGGEST ways that you can do this yourself. You don't ask for someone to code things for you, you ask for help. If you have no idea how you're making this game, then why are you making it?

About my "bullshit" I'm giving you... it's true. Do you expect people to help you after you insult everyone that tries to help you? I tried that a long time ago, and I can tell you that it doesn't work. Would yelling at your boss get you a raise? Or a job for that matter? Of course it wouldn't, and it's not going to help you here.

I hate you all.., exept for the admins and mods.

Nice first impression you're making here. Don't make the same mistake I made. You'll regret it. Or maybe you won't, because you probably won't stay here long.

Just stop answering his questions. It's obvious that he isn't experienced and won't learn on his own, so he's just going to boss you guys around. Soon he'll probably be asking for sprites...

Please don't waste your time on him.

Why is it that you think you can come here and get code handed to you for nothing and then you can bitch about it?

I guarantee you won't get anymore help.

EDIT: Nevermind, I see you apologized in your other thread.

I signed. I loved Gesundheit. It would be nice to play on PS3 or Xbox.

Reminds me of Resident Evil in a way, with the 3D character and the static background.

I like it a lot.

Great game so far. Stupid goop....

Thanks Prog.

You know this isn't the right place for this right?

I once stopped to tie my shoe, but my friend Nate told me to hurry so I stood up and walked out of the road. As soon as I walked onto the sidewalk, two cars smashed each other going about 40 mph right in the same spot I was standing. We just looked at each other, until I said, "Holy shit dude. You saved my life!"

I also had an accident on a bicycle when I flew down a huge hill and went around a crest and picked up more speed. I cut through this really small lawn, and for some reason, the people who lived there had put up a small string wire. Well I didn't see it, and I hit it full force with my neck, which made me fall off my bike, and slit my throat at the same time. I went to the doctor later that day and he said that if that string was a little bit tighter, it could have cut into my throat deeper to where I wouldn't have been able to breathe and probably would have died.

I got into a 4-wheeling accident when I was young. I was learning how to shift into higher gears while going up this steep hill, so I wouldn't dig the grass all up and make the lawn look messy. Anyway, I tried it, but I couldn't get it because it was hard to shift, and I ended up rolling backwards, flipping over backwards, and watching the back wheels come flying at my face while the throttle stuck into the ground, so the wheels were spinning EXTREMELY fast AND flying at me! Luckily, my brother's friend Jamie saved me. I don't think I would have died, but I would have gotten very badly hurt, and probably have permanent damage.

I got some more, unfortunately, but I'll save them.
