Its getting there! The CD booted and its formatting.

You have more patience than me......if it was the same scenario for me and didn't work, my PC would be getting booted (into the garden). Yes

No worries, at least it appears it will be sorted without a messy BIOS update.

If you want to recover the files from the old hard drive it may be another patient task though, but I can help you with that one too if needs be.

I always try to help those less fortunate than myself. And if he really is an Oxford fan he can't get much less fortunate.

Hes genuinely oxford. At least as far as I can tell. He knows all about them...

I have been wondering this for a while - why would you start posting on a swindon board if you were an oxford fan?  What the fuck?

Yep its all go now, even managed to get it online too. Sod getting stuff off the old HDD, I've done my bit and there's nothing vital on there. Should I ever come to another Swindon match I'll buy you a pint Si, thanks a bunch.

I came on just for a bit of banter originally, then discovered that the 'general discussion' was a lot better than the Oxford version, and the members in general were more my age and more entertaining. Onion Jimbo used to make me laugh a lot, an olden day Flammable Ben if you will. The personnel have changed a bit since then, but this is the only forum I post on and it still has good content and good members. Its the only forum I post on.

Swindon games? No, Ralphy kindly gave me a lift one time when Mooney came back to the County Ground with Wycombe a few years back, the season after he left us.
