    WinXP wont install, Ubuntu says not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-

    "this cpu is not compatible with 64-bit mode windows" Google is not helping, since I am installing windows XP 32-bit and still getting this error. Would a dban wipe of the drive and then the 32-bit Windows work after that? Would it have anything to do with the MBR?

    WinXP wont install, Ubuntu says not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-

    Each disc has the same outcome at the same time, normally when trying to access the HD, or with one of the XP discs hitting that 64 bit capatibility error. I would of thought RAM would be more random. I'll give it a shot though, should of tried it earlier actually. I ran memtest and it came up...

    Hey, I had a n130 Samsung that had a failing hard drive. I had Windows 7 installed on another hard-drive and swapped it into the notebook, but Windows would not load. It would constantly restart. I have 2 Windows XP discs. One is very old, and loads everything but at the "starting windows"...

    i need a new printer cartridge for my brother hl-2270dw

    Compatibles are perfectly fine and much cheaper. You can get some cartridges for cheaper and more ink capacity.

    Am I being unreasonable? New techy job problem

    I will bring up the contract, will be interesting what they say. If they fired me because I had no contract it would go very bad for them since most of the interview process was done via e-mail. My forum English is very unique. My spoken English is a odd mix of West-country and Dublin accent :)

    Am I being unreasonable? New techy job problem

    Would you do the jack repairs with such little room? Its good experience but it wont last long. Its alot better putting "computer/laptop/phone repair technician" then it is "baker".

    dell 1545 DC jack problems (damaged laptop casing)

    Hello forum. I have a laptop (Dell 1545) that only chargers if you niggle the charger end in the DC jack around a bit. I figured it would be a DC jack replacement since we have clarified the adapter is fine. The area around the DC jack is broken, the actual laptop casing is caved in slightly...
