I tried this and no luck. I also tried it in my brothers computer to see if it was something besides my windows installation giving the problem. It got past the blinking cursor, but got the blue screen of death. So i decided to try his harddrive, which was working perfect in my pc, it got the blue screen on mine. I hope i didnt wreck his and it doesnt work in his now. But the wierd thing is, my harddrive gets blue screen of death on his, and still after that, on my pc it still gets only the blinking cursor. Im pretty sure im going to have to backup my data and reinstall. Only thing is, could it be my PC hardware that is damaging the files? Since my brothers harddrive also got blue screen?
