    B003DCB3-4A21-4EFF-A81D-A2EDDCDB4162-4454-0000044DF1FD9FB6.jpg

    How can I recomplie the unallocated spaces back into one partition (the onther 2 partitions have windows on) ? Ive tried DIsk Management inside windows and thast how I ended up with how it is there ^^^

    Any ideas?

  2. Last year me and some mates did the wacky rally, there were six of us in two different cars. This time round theres just the one car with 3 of us which looks like this:

  3. Are you dying?? If you are, stop trying to burden the rest of us with it please.

    There are some things mentioned in this thread that make me actually want to piss my pants. My favourite times was that summer when I was off school, and you would rock up to mine in your BT work gear about 8am cos you didnt want your mum to know you werent going to work lol. Then we would just ride all day. And that was pretty much most days lol. I still remember where I was when you rang me to tell me you had like 15 missed calls off your boss and was shiting your self hahahhaa.

    I think my only memory from Tech 04 was me taking DLB's shit up the hill in a BBQ tray and putting it on one of the sections. Next day I had totally forgotten about doing it and then was saying to anal I couldnt beleive how many flies were around a certain section lol................

    We have said it many times, we need to catch up!

  4. Its actually a very simple way of doing it this, although I wouldnt have bothered with the bluetooth thing, would have just run a 3.5mm jack/phono cable to where I have the Ipod situated and just plugged it in.

    As for volume etc, you just put the Ipod on max volume, then turn the Amp up till it starts to distort and back it off a touch. Then you just use the Ipod for volume control with the amp hidden away

  5. Right I have £400 to spend

    Already have:

    Logitech wireles keyboard and mouse

    HP 24in monitor running 1920x1080

    300gb HDD

    My g/f is buying me a SSD for xmas, so take that into account. It will be used as the boot drive.

    Will be running 64bit 7 Ultimate

    I use it for surfing the net, watching HD video etc and I may, once in a blue moon play half life 2 or the likes, but I have a PS3 for gaming really.

    I just like a really "snappy" feeling PC and I also like SFF cases like shuttles etc, but Im a bit lost when speccing that type of machine. I dont mind bigger cases either though.

    Im not a storage demon at all, so the 300gb HDD I already have will do me fine.

    Feel confident to put it together myself, as long as everything is guaranteed to work together.

    Also like having a card reader, but wouldnt be the end of the world If I didnt.

    Would like HDMI and DVI out on the graphics front.

    Not bothered in the slightest about 2nd hand stuff if it gets me a better PC.

    Any help would be appreciated

  6. Ive actually sorted it now, but not exactly sure why/how.

    The 8600gt has 2x DVI sockets and comes with a DVI/VGA adapter thing that I was using.

    1920x1080 had previously worked on XP using that setup and nothing had changed.

    I had a spare DVI cable, so I plugged that into the other slot on the gfx card and into the monitor with it powered off but the PC on. I then stuck the power lead into the monitor, low and beyhold, 1920x1080.

    WTF lol.

  7. Right I was previously running XP pro with my 8600gt, on my dell st2410 monitor (24in) and everything was fine and it ran 1920x1080 beautifully.

    Last night I installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. It installed a driver for everything first go with no unknown devices etc. When I went to up my resolution, the max it has listed is 1600x1200???

    Then the problems really started. I thought "no biggie I just need the Nvidia driver pack thing" went online. Downloaded the "258.96" version of the drivers for my card which is like a 153mb download.

    Ran the installer, it then restarts windows, gets to the Windows 7 loading screen and freezes. It wouldnt get past this screen no matter what. I ended up restoring back to the windows driver (device manager says its version "8.15.11.8593") and managed to get back into windows. At which point I tried again, same result.

    I think tried to just click on my 8600gt in device manager and use update driver. It did this, downloaded the latest driver from the web and agin restarted. Same again.

    After checking on some forums, I then tried to do the same but using the Vista 64bit 8600gt driver, but again same thing.

    Does anyone have any advice for this very annoying problem?

  8. You clearly haven't tried one, or at least if you have you're massively inept at being a man. A proper shave with a double edge razor offers so much more than those crappy little disposables. It also turns shaving time from being a chore to being something you actually look forward to doing.

    You can pick up a double edge razor kit for around £40, which includes the handle (much nicer shaving with a proper weighty solid piece of kit) around 50 blades (which should last you a year or two) and then the pot of shaving cream and applicator brush.

    The blades are made to a much higher standard, the feather blades being exceptionally sharp. Which means far less irritation than a standard razor and they last longer too. It shaves closer so you're smoother and have more time between needing shaves.

    Basically after using a double edge razor a gillette power chav ultra will feel like you're trying to shave with a wallpaper scraper. Considering heads for the chavtastic razors are like £12 for 8 and they last 2-3 weeks before needing changing you're looking at around £20 a year anyway. Once you've bought your D.E. razor handle and accessories new blades are incredibly cheap.

    Merkur 38c is a good one to go for.

    On the back of what you just said, I think im going to try that. If you get a pair of lips or a chunk of cheek in the post, consider that backs

    Is there ay actual reason for not using generic shaving foam with one of those razors^^^?

  9. In that case can anyone recommend a rear wheel (cassette obviously)?

    It needs to be 14mm axle

    I run pegs

    I currently run plaz spanish fly clear pads so ideally a rim that will work decent with them

    around £120 for the wheel

    LH Drive

    I have no idea about what hubs/rims are good in the BMX world so if anyone in the know can advise that would be great?

  10. Last time I had a BMX was about 4 years ago, at which time all the best rims were chromed, and pretty much all the decent riders used them.

    Ive been browsing wheels/rims and now there seems to be very few chromed rimes/wheels available? Has there been a shift in BMX brake pad tech or am I missing something?

  11. I have a mutiny sinister BMX (frame obviously). It doesnt have gyro tabs, and id like to fit a gyro. Is it normal to do this:

    http://www.bmx-forum.com/showthread.php?61595-How-To-Drill-holes-amp-install-gyro-tabs

    Also, looking at gyros themselves (im looking at getting this http://www.sourcebmx.com/product/components/bmx-brake-cables/snafu-mobeus-gyro/7551.shtml) none of them seem to come with the upper plate? Where do I get these plates and will any plate work with any gryo?

    Thanks
