So out of my buddies I'm the computer guy, I give them advice. So this classmate of one my friend's ask for help about what parts he should buy for a new rig. So I helped him out on MSN and made him a list of parts from newegg/outpost for a high end Intel gaming system. I tell this dude that I can build and tweak his rig for $100 which is pretty dirt cheap. He tells me "ok", but the next day I see him at school and he changed his mind. So I'm totally cool with it knowing that I helped someone in building a sweet rig. Now this idiot is calling me for help, first it started off about installing the HSF, now its on to installing WinME. I told this idiot that since he had 1gb ram he couldn't run WinME without editing system.ini file, so I told him to install WinXP, he said "ok". Just today the idiot calls me asking why WindowsXP doesn't see his hard drive correctly. It turned out when he was installing WinME he was messing around with FDISK, which doesn't support large 120gb drives.
Now what should I do? Tell the idiot to stop calling me? I'm a pretty nice person.
BTW this is the rig: (he recieved the parts from newegg/outpost last wed)

Abic IC-7 Canterwood chipset
512mb Kingston Hyper-X PC3200 x 2 (1gb total)

Soundblaster Audigy 2 OEM
